So I feel a little...a little better today. Church was kind of hard. A lot of it was sharing our experiences and I got to nervous I couldnt do it and had a hard time thinking.
Tomorrow is part of Jamies birthday party. It should be fun.
I cried during a special musical number in sacrament meeting today because I have gone to the Lord in prayer a lot its just sometimes you need friends to talk to too. Its okay to have friends..good friends? I think its important. The Lord has carried me at times just like the song said, and I am grateful for that. This hasnt been easy.
Im tired tonight and have to get up early to go to the dollar store. Im going visiting teaching hopefully tomorrow.
I hate being depressed and I hate it when my mom should be there for me and all she does is cry and be depressed which makes me even more depressed. Ive been praying and working so hard on my moms relationship I just dont know what else to do.
Its like my mom gets sad and scared and doesnt know what to do so she tries to turn to me. This mess is all very confusing but it will work out hopefully. My grandma would say it would and shed pray for me.
Sometimes Im ok and sometimes I feel kind of lonely.
Anyways....thats about it tonight.

Saturday, February 18, 2017
So I dont really know what to say today. Its Saturday and I slept in got laundry ready to go spent some time with mom and Jamie came home and got my dishes done and getting ready to cook dinner tonight.
I am finding that Ive been a little down a little blue lately. I miss my grandma Woods. And I still feel guilt about a lot of things although im trying not to. I try to think of things I can do for others instead of feeling down. I try so hard to overcome depressiin and my Savior and my friends help me in so many ways. They let me talk to them and I have a really great support group. I try so hard to stay positive. I also am still struggling in my ward. Ive made a few friends but its been hard and yet I can't imagine myself in a different ward. I love the gospel though and I love learning so I usually seem happy. I've learned a lot and have grown a lot. I can tell I want to retreat back into my shell but I have good safe friends who wont let me. I enjoy cpming out of it a little but sometimes it can be uncomfortable. I am feeling a little more secure though and getting a little more brave but I dont know about my mood lately. Like I said I kind of want to regress and go back into my shell away from my support group which isnt a good thing. But Im thankful for a Savior and for good friends who dont judge. Part of it is my grandma part of it is blaming myself and part of it is missing my friend. I kept teling myself that this was going to be a test of my self-esteem maybe thats part of it too. While trying to work on my relationship with my mom. I have to work from the inside out getting everything inside of me out.
We are headed to California next week to see my nephews. Am kind of excited about that and a little nervous. Excited to celebrate Jamies birthday with her.
I haven't really had any faith promoting stories this week. Im trying to make a habit of writing those down for other people to read and myself to read and remember when they or I are struggling.
I havent been doing very good on my road to trying to lose weight since Ive been sick. It really knocked me down for a while and Im not so sure how I will do on this trip but I have to try and work towards my goals.
I learned today we git asked to take salads or a dessert to our family reunion in April so Ive been trying to decide what to make.
Anyways thats whats coming up in my life in the next few weeks and the things that Im facing right now.

Feeling a little better about my new book my friend and my boundaries I am making...I understand a little more and it feels right and good. The book I got from brave girls club is good and I really love it. Its fun to find really good positive things in this world.
I love my scriptures read and learned a little more about revelation and also about keeping Gods commandments.
Am also feeling a lot better after being so sick...am having a better day and am doing good.

Well finally feeling better after being sick all week. What a nasty cold. So thankful for my mom for coming to visit me and helpingme to feel better. My working out has gone down hill sad to say since Ive been sick.
Church was good today. Talks on trials and turning to the savior in sacrament probably something I needed to hear. In sunday school we talked about revelation and what revelation is. To me its when God opens the windows of heaven to our view. It also to me is not just about facts and knowledge given. Its about being inspired. I believe god speaks to man on the earth today and that he gives us what we need when we need it. In other words I believe in revelation and that it is found on the earth today. Like the other day ive been inspired to check on a sister I visit teach and come to find out shes been sick. He answers our prayers and is aware of each of us.
In Relief Society we worked on family history. I actually found five names to take to the temple. I am excited and nervous.
I recieved my book I ordered from brave girls club which I am both excited for and sad. It is a really great book but its a sign im being braver and setting some boundaries with my close friend but im sad because it changes our relationship a little and sometimes change and growing can be good but hard.
Ive been sad a lot this week dealing with a lot but I feel a little better today...got some good advice and guess for right now Ive just got to put one foot in front of the other again until things start to work out and I feel better until I can get past missing people I love who are gone.
Being so sick and having to stay down and not feeling good hasnt helped my depression either but now that im feeling better maybe some of that will change.
Things will get better hopefully. I miss my friend too but shes been in my head. I miss writing to her and telling her about whats going on in my life and her writing to me and telling me to keep smiling.
I'm just also trying to make my life better by thinking more with my mom and my sister so my emotions dont go to deep with them when they share experiences and I either get into a deep depression or I have trauma and cant talk....Ive been working hard on this for a long time and could use some help. Im thinking with experiences so I can also cry with the girls and be okay just to cry if I feel like it and so that I can share experiences of my own. Its a work in progress.
Ive got some busy weeks coming up and fun days ahead.
