Depression

I know what you mean I go in and out of it all the time. There is really nothing I can do just sit there till one day my system snaps out of it. Its a bad thing when I do go into dpression no one that is not going through all this nightmare can really understand. One time my mom told me jokingly that I should see a loony tune doctor..... sometimes when Im depressed the things that I think about make me wonder if maybe I should just actually take my moms advice seriously or go at least get some medication to just not be depressed for long periods of time.

I really wish I knew what to do other than just sit and wait and let it pass. There is really nothing any one can say or do to make me come out of it other than just let it pass. Then when it goes away I try to stay possitive till reality sits in again and I go into one again. LDR since 2003 till now can take its toll. I hope we are together soon. Im sorry that Im not much help. I wish I had advice to give. Other than just ride it out. I dont know how to deal with it my self at times.

It is very hard being apart and time does have a tendency to drag so slowly. While waiting on the visa there, my husband did these things and it really helped him by keeping busy. I told him to spend as much time doing things with his family. Do something special with them, go places together. Plan a trip out with your friends. Invite them over for a meal. Play pool together, etc. So him and a few friends went to a city on the sea and stayed a couple days. See the places in Jordan that you love so much. Hang out and do special things with your friends. Get all your dentist appts in there before you come, much cheaper there than here. Go buy something small and inexpensive for my children and family as gifts. Anything I could think of to keep him busy. Because after they leave there and come here they are going to miss all of those things there (family and friends). For me, I just kept really busy here. I made lists and tried to do things preparing for our life together here. Just basically keep busy. Have faith and trust in the plan God has for us. I use to think and say, all good things come to those who wait and wait and wait............ eventually your wait will be over! Hang in there! It will get better! Stay strong!
