I'm sorry it's how you feel. I hope, deep down, you know it's not true. Your babies, your marriage, the friendships you have, your ability to make a lovely home for your family - these are all great things - YOUR successes. Do we all succeed daily? Nope - and that's hard. The yucky stuff is so much easier to focus on. For me, anyway. I'm writing this on a day when my heart is heavy after learning our community has lost 2 people who were way too young to leave us. All I can think about is how their families and friends are wishing they had one more day with them...heck, one more hour. It's all so precious once it's gone. I know you know this. You've written about it - movingly. For me, it's a reminder that no matter how badly I've messed things up - this is it. It's all we get. I have to keep getting back up. I have to keep the worrying at bay, or I'll destroy what's in front of me. The world is better for having you in it, and my hope is that you know that in the deepest recesses of your heart. I hope when the "other" voices start to scream, you can take solace in that one still place inside of you and know you're succeeding...simply by keeping on.

I'm sorry you...This made me so sad to read. I'm sorry you're down right now. As someone who is also battling their depression and anxiety at this time, I can feel it. No matter what anyone has said, you are certainly not a failure at parenting or being a wife. I hope things look up soon.<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.com
