“Guess what, Mama! I got another scholarship!”
My middle daughter was battling major depression at the beginning of the year, experiencing crippling panic attacks and an ED that was out of control. What did she do? She quit her disastrous job, went back to school, and found a new job. She enrolled in Communications and Psychology and did a PowerPoint presentation on Depression. Her school essays have all earned A+ grades and have been used as examples for her classmates. I am incredibly proud of her and in awe of the personal reserves of strength she has had since she was a baby! There was never something too difficult for her to tackle, once she put her mind to it.

Awesome!!!!!!!
Yes, she is! 🙂
Good for her, great choice for this week’s theme.
Thanks!
you should be proud!!!
And so I am!
She is definitely to be admired.. great encouragement for others who suffer depression too.. it can be overcome; with the right treatment, love and support
I asked her if it was OK to post her situation, and immediately she said, “Sure. It might help someone. Life is hard.”
Very brave of her! Takes guts and determination to change your life (and a little support, perhaps). Well done! all round I think!
Thanks, Stephen! I am so relieved to see the change and grateful to have been called upon to support her during some really rough patches.
Congratulations on having such an awesome daughter!
Thank you, Sue!
