Disclaimer: This is not a cheery, Emma post. I need to vent a little and I feel out of options, so blogger, thank you for being my sounding board.
I am stressed out, depressed, disappointed with life. I know I have so many blessings, but right now, all I feel is down. I feel like I can't do anything to please anyone (with the exception of Emma). I think what is most disappointing is that those who I am closest to aren't giving me any support, but rather adding to my stress by making me feel as though I have let them down.
Well, let me tell you, they are letting me down right now. I need help. I need support. I need love. I need comfort.
I'm only human. I can't be everything to everyone. I feel like I have a plan in place to work toward, but the going won't always be easy. Will I have to deal with the low points by myself? I sure hope not, because when I accomplish my goals, I want there to be people to celebrate with me.
I am hoping this passes soon. I don't want to go through life being down, depressed, disappointed.

Hey Julie, hugs. I'm not sure exactly what you're going through, but feeling like you do sucks. This is a quote I heard: I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone. Sometimes what you want needs to come first. Decide what is best for you and your family and just do that. Let the rest go for a while. When you're having the worst of days, cuddle Emma and talk to your husband. They're the ones who will make you feel better. And it always helps to pray. I hope things fall into place soon. Just do what you can and try not to stress about the rest (I know, easier said than done!).
Paula, thank you so much for your message. It instantly lifted my spirits and helped me put life in perspective again!
