What about you?

Hey World,

What is most important in life? Is it family? Friends? Who comes first? Oftentimes, we take care of everyone else instead of ourselves. Is it wrong to want to take care of "me" first? I have needs, we all have needs and desires. I say do what you need to do in order to be happy. Go shopping, driving, take a trip, adopt a child that needs your love and attention, go dancing....do what makes you feel good and take care of you first!

Sound off world...let me hear from you!

Always,
Queen Shahid

School and Work...Is it a trigger for depression?

Hey World,

Let's talk for a minute...

I am working part-time, in debt, in school full-time and trying to find that place where I feel happy and satisfied. I am struggling with this because no matter how much I love teaching and being in school, the worry about bills that are constantly rolling in and not seeing the end of it, puts me in a bad funk. My family and friends have no clue about my depression and lack of motivation to continue to work. Do I count this as being lazy or a real medical problem of depression?

I do all that I can to stay around positive people but nothing is rubbing off!!!!! Will clearing up my debt free me of depression? Do I have a deeper issue or issues that I am hiding that are keeping me in the bed and over eating?

Sound off world.....Talk to me.....
