[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 687646, member: 15832"] Why in God's name do we torture ourselves like this? Why? We are like moths to a flame. Today I was looking at all the wonderful, healthy, uber-functioning adult children of my Facebook friends and their adorable, perfect grandchildren. And I could feel my depression slowly starting to creep back. I don't know why I think it's like some kind of competition, or something. And I, personally do have a lot to be grateful for. And my son has been doing better lately. But reading these postings just rubs it in...that their off spring are functioning at such a high level and my son works at his minimum wage job, struggles to stay sober and goes to therapy three times a week. I've tried gratitude lists. I've tried meditation, and reading The Power of Now (my daughter recommended that book) It's not working. I agree, Mother's Day is just another moneymaking Halmark holiday. Although I did get flowers from the kids. I love flowers. [/QUOTE]
