Hi, Lovelife. Welcome and well done for posting. That first post is not easy at all, and takes a deal of courage.
 
I can't add too much to the welcome everyone else has given you. Just remember, if your daughters think you're a great mom, then you are. They are the best ones to judge that, wouldn't you think?
 
Hope to see you around the forum.

Welcome lovelife.
 
you had a great idea!  if you do not have the words or the "vocabulary" then by all means feel free to borrow as much as you need!  that is what learning is all about.
 
THe more you learn what depression is and how depression manifests itself in you the better prepared you will be to face it and to heal.  I am sure you will be more confident talking about your your self and your pain and will be in a position to get the best help available.
 
So Welcome to the gang LoveLife.

hi lovelife - the first thing you do is congratulate yourself for raising 2 daughters that love and trust you! then you get a proper diagnosis and take it from there. there is a light at the end of the tunnel - you just need to identify the tunnel! you may have to take antidepressants - don't be afraid to do so. you're not stupid - don't even think it! you are smart for making a very big effort and step in the right direction.  use your own words, and use them freely!

today I am totally lost.  This blog made me feel stupid.  I wanted to introduce myself and was not able to find out how.  Got really aggrevated.  on reading other´s people entry I found this:

Hello everyone. I've been depressed for several years now. Was verbally/emotionally abused and have little to no self esteem now. My whole life as I knew it has changed. I have no friends and am quite alone. Feeling of helplessness and sadness are overwhelming sometimes. I would be nice to have someone to 'talk' to and share my feelings.

Although I did not write this first, it is me and it is terrible to feel this way.  I have no idea of what to do with myself and the scary part is that I have 2 daughters that depend on me who actually think that I am a great mom and trust me. 
 
Wish the best to all
Lovelife
