It doesn't matter. Your feelings are yours and not for anyone else to judge. Feel them and feel free to tell us about them.<br />I totally relate to your comments about church. My 2-year old is obsessed with the baptismal font and the music and has a very hard time sitting still or being quiet. I know the sweaty, stressed-out feeling church can induce all too well! I try to just remind myself that Jesus loved ALL the little children, and to ignore fears about people judging me. Hope you can do the same, if church helps you get peace.Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-18186608347323807082013-12-10T07:42:15.984-08:002013-12-10T07:42:15.984-08:00It IS hard to sit with sad, or angry, or any of th...It IS hard to sit with sad, or angry, or any of the unshiny emotions. We learn to share our happy and get over our sad and get back to happy. But all of our emotions deserve value and recognition. My life has grown more through sad and angry than it has through happy. Every.Single.Human. experiences sad. Shouldn't we be comfortable embracing this part of ourselves, too? We shouldn't need permission. OF COURSE life could be harder - but each and every one of us desrves to acknowledge what is hard or sad in OUR lives. If not, instead of sad, we would feel guilt. My life is so wonderful, I should never feel sad or cheated. But that's not how it works. WE ALL feel sad from time to time and we shouldn't let anyone tell us we can't.<br />Thanks for being our poster child for Sad (ok maybe that was just funny to me). :) <br />This place makes my heart super happy. Thanks for trusitng us with the real Chrissy. I am a HUGE fan.<br />Love & happiness to you, sweet momma.

That breaks my heart. I think mental disorders are something people just can't grasp until they've seen it from the inside. People need more education to be sensitive and supportive and your blog is definitely educating all who read it.

It was a mild case but I have a 5year old daughter that I am constantly "watching" and waiting to see if she shows any signs. I applaud you for being honest and showing your feelings. You are authentic and that is what makes you awesome!!!!

You are truthful which is so rare this day. So rare. You have helped me in so many different ways with your writing. It is comforting to read your words and then to see your amazing pictures. Please keep writing and I will keep commenting.

I am all of those emotions and by writing them down and sharing, I am being me. I can't agree with you more that being sad is completely okay. In fact, sometimes in order to undo my sad, I have to completely let myself get over taken by it. If I can just get those emotions out in a loud, ugly cry kind of way, I can start to undo it with the things I love. . .

I'll add my favorite un-sadder (it relates to #4) - find as many things to give thanks for every day as possible. The little things, especially. When you "count your many blessings, name them one by one" it really does help to show how many gifts we receive every day from God, even in the midst of tough times. It has been a huge stress reliever for me. <br /><br />By the way, I read your last post about your precious Doodle, and I just wanted to say that he will be not just okay, but great. All the early intervention you've done plus your loving acceptance has already put him on a great path. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-59065715713163760532013-12-08T22:00:53.367-08:002013-12-08T22:00:53.367-08:00<3 How to be sad, and how to be happy.

We're squeaky cleaner inside, emotionally & all. <br /><br />Hope you have a happy day!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642779145911516033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-65900374750355385092013-12-08T21:43:01.138-08:002013-12-08T21:43:01.138-08:00Yep. xoxoYep. xoxoLaura Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484433666660692748noreply@blogger.com
