Thanks, Maria. I know I blather here a lot, but really, I am more vocal here than many places about feelings, and I internalize and analyze and verbal dialogue EVERYTHING in my head, and...
And, well, all my friends are busy with babies and their own lives, and no one's spouse needs to hear all therapy-talk, especially when one is newlywed.
Ugh. How does one balance THINKING logically about one's depression, while yet trying to NOT THINK about it, which is what feeds into the loop of obsessing about it.
Brains are kinda stupid. I vote Vulcan.
Vulcans only get laid every seven years. They'd be like the rest of us if they "did it" more.
Huh. 7 year itch?
Wouldn't artificial insemination be more...logical?
It would but they'd 'splode.
I just want to say, for the record, that I am honored that people choose to share their insecurities and issues with us. I feel badly when people say that they don't want to hijack the thread or "burden" us when they need to talk about their lives. It's what friends are for, so post on!
Now, I have had a lot of wine, so am feeling very loving right now. Tomorrow, I will go back to my normal judgmental self. I'll still feel the same way, but I just won't admit it ;)
In vino, emphaticas?
Thanks. Y'all are the best.
What I couldn't say earlier was that we had a little surprise party for Sean at the bar, so about 8 of us ganged up on him to make him cheerful and eat a brownie with a candle in it and have many drinks. I don't envy him the hangover he'll have tomorrow, but I think he had a good time.
Also, I can haz Megan Walker! And now sleep. And tomorrow, husband!
Hugs and love to those that need them. That's what we are here for.

Aw, yay!
He didn't eat the candle, did he?

I don't want to jump to conclusion since I don't know your friends or anything (or depression), Erin, but I don't think it's true. I don't think that busy people with lives and babies don't necessarily want to hear you - or that they don't have problem of their own.
And I'm glad to hear about Sean's birthday party.
