I’m Alive!
Posted by Raeann Blake (Author) on July 4, 2019
No, I’m not dead yet. But it has been a rough 2 or 3 years. I think they’ve settled on a new regimen for my medications and for now it’s helping a lot. At least I’m here writing this and that’s a BIG first step. I haven’t felt like even talking to anybody for so long as those who have messaged me and got no response can attest. I’m sorry. Most days it seems like just battling with the depression demons takes up all of my time and all of my energy. For the last few days, a full month since they made the last changes, I actually felt like doing something. I even ASKED the hubby for us to get out and go somewhere. That’s HUGE.
On the other hand, I’ve been here before and I know not to expect it to last. I hope it will. I believe in myself that I can do it. But lessons learned tell me not to make promises I don’t know if I can keep. It’s been so long since I wrote or edited anything that I’m starting over on the edit of Casey. Hopefully I get through it this time and off to my editor so I can finally get it to all of you.
You guys are the best. Thank you for hanging in here with me. I couldn’t write all of those days, but I thought about all of you every single day. I hope you keep hanging around and I wish you happy reading of all those other fantastic authors out there until we can get rocking and rolling here.

Glad you are feeling better! One day at a time 🙂 Can’t wait to read Casey. I’m about halfway through Davis for the umpteenth time. It’s one of my favorite series.

I was so surprised and pleased to open my email and find a newsletter from you in the file! I’m so glad you are feeling better, and I’m wishing you all the luck in the world with this new medication regimen and I hope it continues to help you. Take it one day at a time and take care of you.

Hey, nothing slow about me. It only took me 4 years to reply to your comment. 🙂 One-day at a time it is. If you haven’t picked it up yet, we’re up to Casey now on the Seven Brothers and I’m working on Bo. ~ Happy Reading

Raeann,
So glad that things are looking better. I know depression is a terrible issue – my Great-Aunt suffered with it for many years. She always seemed better when she was around family. She never married, lived alone except for her cat, but loved to travel. She would come to visit when one of us became driving age, and would have us go on a drive or take us on vacation with her (us doing all the driving). But it was great as we got to drive her 1957 Ford Fairlane. As I am one of 9 kids – there were a lot of trips!! Lol…. I hope they have your dosage correct and you are back to a great life. Would love to read all of the “Brothers Series” but your health and well being comes first. So, God Bless and prayers sent every day to you.
