Jen, What you did for your family is wonderful! It's so hard to express our feelings at times, when I do I can't help but wonder if it was taken the way it was intended. I too am being treated for depression and anxiety. Unless someone has been here, it's impossible to know what dealing with this is like.
You are a strong and caring person with so much to offer! [[[[[HUGS]]]]] being sent just for you!!!!!

What a wonderful thing to do! I have dysthymia/depression and the days around the winter solstice are hard for me because there's so little daylight. I kept my expectations low and stayed in the background for Christmas this year, and at the end of the day things with my family were fine.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Your posts portray you much differently than waht you described. What a surprise it was to read how you felt.
Congratulations on your actions, I think maybe everyone should express themselves to their families, even in letters like you did. Be assured that everyone will surely be touched by the honesty you showed and all are probably so happy you went to that family dinner.

You go girl, be proud of yourself, I think you are going to feel so much better in yourself, for having written what you did,and don't worry if there is no reaction from the family,you have gotten it off your chest and that is all that really matters, so chin up and soldier on as you always have done,I hope you are feeling better today, HUGS.

What a brave and wonderful thing to do. I hope your family is receptive to your honesty and will talk with you about it. But even if they don't, you've done it and broken free from a not so healthy pattern of not communicating. Good for you! Wishing you a great new year in 2009 full of love and validation and happiness.

I like the fact that they can keep those cards and reread them forever, even maybe after you've forgotten about writing them. Plus, it made you feel better. That's an important point! Good for you.
