Hello everyone.  I'm Regina, a wife and mother of three boys. We live in Kentucky. I am currently struggling with some of the same things a lot of you are dealing with- depression, keeping up with a messy house that I had JUST gotten cleaned up from squalor, shame, guilt... I have lurked on this forum since it's creation, and actually posted a few times on the old SS forum. You're an amazing group of people, and I look forward to posting here with you all.  |

Greetings & Welcome, Survivor-Regina,Just jump right in & have some fun! LOTS of fun here. I am in Kentucky tooooo. We can be pals in the trenches!  My Rx: Keep reading, try to post daily, & COME CHAT when you can. An AMAZING amount of cleaning, decluttering, & desqualoring gets accomplished in chat, usually in 15 minute challenges/doses.

Hi Survivor,
I'm new here too. I'm familiar with depression. And also with guilt from thinking,
"why can't I just keep up with everything"
I hope we can work together.
Val

Welcome, Survivor.So glad that you are here. I agree with AnnieBlue that reading, posting, and checking out chat are great ideas. The working in threes thread in Listzilla helped me a lot at first.

Hello Regina, I'm new too. This place is brilliant, I love it. I really hope that you will find support, understanding and a sense of not being the only one who is facing this. It's what has brought us all here and so we know that sometimes it can be like skiing uphill in treacle with a backpack on.  But please know that you are not alone. The Chat section is good for on-the-spot support and, well, chat!  |
