It took a long time, but I love being happy! I hope that your journey (especially in the LDS culture) is faith building and you don't put more pressure on yourself like I have in the past because it is my role in life to "be a mom". <br /><br />Good luck! I love ICLW... so glad I crossed your path! <br /><br />ICLWErikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675227963995150035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618559263667408983.post-78729466155768478962009-04-23T10:48:00.000-07:002009-04-23T10:48:00.000-07:00PS...can you email me?

I started my blog last month because I felt like I had lost myself and needed to reclaim, the person I am, outside of trying to have a baby. I put my life on hold and it made things worse. I totally relate to all your longing that you wrote about, at times it consumes and overwhelms me too. My blog has really helped organise my thoughts and get me back to being me. Glad I found your blog!

This latest blog you wrote is all to familiar to me. I started treatment for depression about 6 months ago and I feel like a different person. I went from crying everyday to crying very seldom. I hated the fact that I had to be on something, but knowing that one day the treatment for my depression is pregnancy helps. I hope the best for you and look forward to reading your blog.
