I've been inexplicably blue -- to the point where I only seem to have a few days out of the month where I have energy, am motivated, and just feel like I can cope. (And yes, I have been taking my meds! Not good.) I worry about what my family thinks of me. I don't want them to feel like they have to tiptoe around me. I don't want them to look back and remember me as being tired, stressed, and down all the time. So glad I have a doctor's appointment next week.

Look at that complexion, Michelle! I'm sorry to hear other things in your life are rough right now, but at least that complexion of yours is so smooth. I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment soon, too. Good for Jill for waiting till you got it made. I do hope things get better for you soon.
Thats why families are so great, we will do anything...even go to the doctor to make them happy. I hope things go well.
That is a beautiful picture of you though Michelle. I hope the doctor has something good to say to help!
What a cool and beautiful picture of you!
I'm hoping for a great doctor's appointment for you next week. Maybe your dosage is off.
Love the beautiful necklace. I sure hope things start looking up for you. I think families are resilient and they remember our good qualities too! Hope everything works out at the Dr.
ok so i have to say that you might be feeling blue, but that is a super gorgeous, perfect hair and make up photo of you michelle! that is the most perfect lipstick i've ever seen! beautiful.
i hope things go well at the doctor, there seems to be a bit of blue going around...
So sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well, but families are there for good and bad!
I am so sorry! I so understand though. Truly do.. I hope things are brighter tomorrow. I have to say you look so beautiful with your makeup & lipstick & necklace..
Have you switched meds? I know that really freaked my system out bad for me...
Bea-U-ti-ful picture, Michelle! I hope you can get things sorted out.
Your complexion is truly amazing! I have an awful, yucky complexion! Age/sun spots, freckles, wrinkles. I am a little jealous, woman! I'm so sorry you've been blue!!!! You're a beatiful shade of blue! We'll need to get the boys together again soon!
I'm so sorry...just remember that family is there to love us through our tough times. You are loved deeply by me and all those whose lives you touch. Let that love bouy you up until you can love yourself again. This will pass, the energy will come back and the heaviness of spirit will retreat back to its corner. You are a beautiful daughter of our Heavenly Father - He loves you and will never turn his back on you. I will pray that you find peace again - I love you!
First let me say that the picture is gorgeous...you're gorgeous. Next, I have been there and asked myself precisely the same questions. I hope yours find answers....something to wrap your head & hands around tangibly. It's the mystery *blues* that have ever done me in.
You may feel blue on the inside but you're gorgeous on the outside (and I'm sure just as gorgeous on the inside too!)
Your skin is flawless, just beautiful!
Good luck at the doctor...I hope he has some answers for you.
Oh, Michelle, I'm so sorry. I understand this all too well--I tend to go through random periods of time where I honestly wish that I could sleep for 20 hours a day and never leave the house or wear real clothes. And yes, it happens to me too even if I have been taking my meds. Anyway, I'm sorry that you're going through this and I hope that your doctor helps you. One time when I was going through a particularly rough patch, I had some bloodwork done and found out that I actually had an viral infection that was causing extreme fatigue...so you never know. Good luck.
You look completely beautiful by the way. You are so stylish!
I'm sorry to hear that you have ben suffering. I hope your doctor appointment goes well for you. And apparently I'm not the only one to notice how pretty your skin looks in that photo! You look beautiful.
I hope your doctor can sort through this and come up with some options. Sorry you are in such a state but happy that help is on the horizon!
Love the picture.
Sorry you've been down--that's a frustrating place to be. I'm glad you have a doctor's appointment next week. That's a good SP though :)
Oh Michelle, I wish I could click my heels and be there and we could make it go away. You look wonderful, as always though. Glad you are going to the doctor. Let me know how it goes.
There's a lot of that going around.
I hope the doctor can help you. Your picture is beautiful. Such GORGEOUS skin!!!
I recently had an epiphany about my own "blue"ness. Every May I have a major breakdown (and I do mean major). Not sure why it happens in May, but this May was the third year in a row. I met with my doctor and we decided to switch meds. She had me decrease my orignial meds for a few weeks before starting the new one. Taking a half dose has made a world of difference. In fact, I'm not switching to the new meds after all. Maybe adjusting your dose will help. Good thing you're seeing the doctor. Good luck!
And I agree with everyone - that's a fabulous self-portrait!
Michelle! What a beautiful picture! I always admire how well you put yourself together. I'm lucky to even put make up on half the time. You are always super stylish and have cute jewelery on and your hair is always cute and your makeup always well done.
I hope your doctor appointment goes well. Maybe there just needs to be a little tweaking of your medicine.
This IS a beautiful picture of a beautiful (and creative) woman with a beautiful family.
Your melancholy eyes and perfectly lipsticked lips make this a very tender photograph. Not to mention downright gorgeous.
You look gorgeous on this picture! I love the necklace and the color of your eyes!
I hope you appointment goes good next week!
I think many of us can relate to those feelings. Please don't beat yourself up because I am sure you're doing the best you can. You are a wonderful mother and wife. I hope the Dr. can get things sorted out for you asap!
I have to agree with everyone else-your photo is gorgeous!
I hope you feel better soon. Cute necklace :).
I have read this post a couple of times wanting to comment something fantastic to lift your spirits.
I've been there-
I'm know it'll get better!
really it will. Even though having a family is a joy, it can also feel like a long guilt trip at times. Just remember the advasary (sp?) is doing everything to make the mothers of tomorrow's leaders feel incompetant & worthless, it's only in his best interest. Don't let him get to you. You are doing a great job with yourself & your family.
I've been a bit down myself and I wish I had something to help us both feel better. I don't mean to be flippant about your post, but MAN--that is some gorgeous lipstick shade! What is it? If it's any comfort, you still look pretty even when you're blue.
You may be feeling blue, but HOLY COW you're a babe.
Not just saying that.
LOOK AT THOSE SMOKY DIVA EYES. Get over here, sister, and teach me how to do up my eyes like that.
I seriously see the intent of your picture...to portray a melancholy mood...but you look kinda "Torch Singer Sexy."
And no. I'm not coming on to you.
well, down or not down, you look absolutely gorgeous in this photo. I love love love the deep blue of your eyes and just the whole photo is beautiful. You do look somewhat sad....and I felt a little sad for your concerns...but you know what, I think being their mom is a gift in itself. I think you are wanting to be more energetic and haven't found a way to do it, and you are projecting it more....maybe, than what it really is. Hey, at least you do baking and they will have such wonderful memories of that! I thought I was going to be more of a baker myself.....oh man! ala swiper!
so i consoled my self at la vie france today! I had a couple croissants...wow...nothing makes me remeber europe more than a croissant! well, i was saying your eyes match your necklace and oh, Crystal is sooo right! funny! cheer up, chin up, chin up, chin up....I always always always alwasy remember part of the initiatory when i am feeling down and it really really really literaly lifts my heart and spirit, when you hear ALL THE WORDS IN THERE!! MAKE memory, chin up chin up chin up...it will help your mood!
ps. you know for many many many years, when I really fixed up every day...WHEN I FELT DOWN AND SAD OR PLAIN SICK...I would put on my best clothes, and would make my make up the best ever...I don't know why, but now ....i should go back to those days!
Does it help that you are beautifully blue? That is a stunning photo.
Wow, that's some gallery of friends! That's awesome.
Hope you get to feeling much better. There's not much worse than being unmotivated and blue.
Btw, that kleenex box might make up, well, I wouldn't go that far, but it might distract from the family room "machinery"!
michelle I am right there with you. Perhaps I need to finally bite the bullet and just get on some meds. I am struggling and have been for a weeks. I hate feeling this way. I hope the dr helps.
love the photo.
I love Crystal's comment... really what can you say after that?!
