It's almost time to film my video for the Talika Cosmetics Love Your Lashes Contest and I'm nervous! It will be my first video I've ever filmed. How do you get used to talking to yourself? Do you pretend you're talking to someone you know?
I can't film during the day because of my hellion child. It would be impossible to edit her out! She makes sure you know she's there today. We were wandering around WalMart today and I got separated from her and Patrick. All I had to do was follow the sound of her voice and I found them, no problem. What is it about being a toddler that automatically breaks their volume switch?
At night, lighting becomes an issue. Does anyone know why apartment complexes don't do overhead lighting? I guess I'll have to figure something out, my 28 days is coming up and it has to be submitted by August 31st. I can't wait until I get out of school and things start to straighten out. I'm ready for a house with an office. Somewhere to keep all of our computer stuff and actually have room.

It's my first time.
How do you deal?
I've been dealing with depression since I was a teenager. It all started right around the time I was supposed to be starting 9th grade. I was always a shy kid, preferring to be by myself with my books than in a crowd of people.
The year I turned 14 I met a boy who made it all worse. Long story short, it was an abusive relationship that ended in court. Ever since then I've been on and off of just about every medication for depression that we could afford.
The last 12 years have been a real roller coaster. Lately, I'm on the downside of the ride. I'm not even sure how to get back up. I've tried counseling but it takes so long to open up to someone, especially a stranger, that by the time I start actually feeling comfortable I'm at the point that I can't afford to go anymore.
Just wondering, how many of you deal with depression? How do you handle it? What gets you through those days (weeks, months) when you don't even want to crawl out of bed?
