Lately...

Well the past few weeks have been a bit of a struggle for me...i was diagnosed with depression and put on medication. that was tough for me to be able to accept, and it still is, but i know its something i have to deal with. i've had my days where i want nothing to do with anyone or anything, i sit in my room alone and sleep and cry and sleep and cry. other days i wake up feeling somewhat good and know that if i can get myself to go out and do something, make a plan, the depression will be hid and forgotten for a while. Thanks to my friends and my family who have helped me along the way. i love you guys so much and i feel so blessed. Even though its been hard and i've felt more down and alone than i ever have in my life, i've had some great times.

One night a few of us wanted to get together and go out for dinner, so we did just that! We went to Red Robin and afterwards hung out at the "Walker Cabin" for a while deciding what to do next, we then went hot tubing! it was so fun to be able to relax, laugh, and enjoy time with these awesome kids! i love them so much! we have a blast!

This Last weekend was an absolute blast! There was a huge YSA Conference that was put on for the whole region. We started it off on Thursday going to our good friend Livi's wedding reception and following that we all went to the temple and did baptisms for the dead. Friday night they put on this huge bbq at the church with tons of food, a rock climbing wall, music and tons of people! it was such a fun experience and everyone had a great time! saturday all day they had classes going on at the institute and at bsu. the night prior too was a horrible night, i got no sleep, i was tossing and turning and woke up feeling horrible. so i was unable to attend any of the classes, i was really bummed out about it, but saturday night they had this huge party at the YMCA, we swam for a little, rock climbed and just hung out! it was so much fun! To end the weekend they had this fireside sunday night. The area authority and his wife spoke to us, it was such an awesome experience. thanks again to my friends who have helped me get out and have a great time!

  2. I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. This comes from a girl who knows what it's like to live with depression. I know how hard and lonely it can be. There's not much I can say, but to tell you that I do know how you feel and sometimes that's all you need to know. Hang in there and remember that no matter what you always have your Heavenly Father to turn to. If I can help in ANY WAY, please let me know. You are a beautiful, amazing girl!
