It means that you can find strength in the balm of Christ. It will help you meet the heartaches and challenges with faith and serenity" ("What It Means to Be a Daughter of God," Liahona, Jan. 2000, 123; Ensign, Nov. 1999, 102).<BR/><BR/>I'm going through the same thing right now. I recognized it right away, from past depression problems. I finally asked for medication so that I could at least function. <BR/>I've found that making a goal to do something for MYSELF every day helps a lot. <BR/>Keep praying. I'll add you to my prayers as well. Remember you are a good mother and a good wife. Heavenly Father loves you. Read and re-read the August Visiting Teaching message.

Still there to a degree, actually, with this last babe of mine.<BR/><BR/>Strangely enough, what has helped me the most (besides priesthood blessings and uplifting music, as others have said) is to just accept that this is how it is for me. <BR/><BR/>I take two years to bounce back from a baby, and when I cut myself some slack for that, it's easier.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085678129130546156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30934073.post-87478893861246448722008-08-19T09:40:00.000-07:002008-08-19T09:40:00.000-07:00My dear, I completely understand where you are com...My dear, I completely understand where you are coming from. I was down that road off and on for years. Thankfully through much prayer I was taught how to heal and what to do. <BR/><BR/>I found your blog surfing from Mama Hens. I am LDS too and live in NC with my seven kids. I'm going to share some links to my blog and website where I talk about these things and what I have done to heal. I am no longer trapped in misery. Prayers and Priesthood blessings work, but God also wants us to figure out how to help ourselves. After all, we came here to earth to work out our own salvation. He does understand what we go through. <BR/><BR/>I've been blessed to see a naturopathic doctor this past year and the question she puts to me, is "The problem is not the symptoms, the problem is WHY is she HAVING the symptoms?" More specifically in my personal journal I have added additional questions: What are you lacking in nutrients? How are your emotions? Do you have problems with parasites or candidas? Are the hormones balanced? Did you know fears and phobias cause the hormones to be off balance? Emotions play an enormous role in our physical health.<BR/><BR/>Healing Emotionally:<BR/>(My Health Update)<BR/>http://homemakingcottageblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/health-update.html<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/5vuddq<BR/><BR/>If you wish to learn more, I can share so much. I have completely been where you are and it is miserable and you feel very alone. ...but you are NOT alone. Others have felt what you have felt and most importantly our Savior knows what you are going through too.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Shiloah Baker, mom of 7Shiloah Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710431618444268005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30934073.post-81578369529946290132008-08-19T07:09:00.000-07:002008-08-19T07:09:00.000-07:00Hang in there, Mom.

If at all possible, find an hour every other day to walk, swim, something. I know it can be near to impossible with hard working hubby and little ones, but I swear by it. <BR/><BR/>And--listen to good, uplifting music. Not saying you listen to bad music, I just know that one day I realized I didn't ever listen to music at all. And it really does soothe and heal. So, consider that.<BR/><BR/>I've been where you are, you have my prayers.talithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754800285030208081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30934073.post-50377684853680503642008-08-18T07:52:00.000-07:002008-08-18T07:52:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry.

It was the hardest week of my life... and not because of her, but because I felt like I couldn't deal with anything. All I did was cry. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of & praying for you. Hope you feel better really soon!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367822951165861848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30934073.post-9739387568935540192008-08-18T07:03:00.000-07:002008-08-18T07:03:00.000-07:00I hope that you can start feeling better soon.I hope that you can start feeling better soon.Awesome Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523320907836876707noreply@blogger.com
