I've been suffering of Depression. I didn't realize it was so bad until I wake up in the hospital after a collapse last week, and stayed unconscious for 2 days. I learned they had to do CPR, as my heart stopped beating. I guess didn't want to live anymore, but I survived. My chest is still sore because of that.
Rod took me out of the hospital, because I was in a mental health ward, with some other disorder mental patients, locked in my hospital bedroom, making my depression worse.
Now I'm fighting depression, and I wanted to do this without taking any pills. After what happened here, that rude comment, I knew I couldn't win this fight without a drug(anti-depressant) help, and I took it yesterday morning, but the side effects were terrible, dizziness, vomit, diarrhea. However the doctors said that I must take them, my system will accept eventually. I may take only half today though.
As a former teacher, I used to teach my kids three "magic words": please, thank you and I'm sorry. "teacher borrow me the eraser?", and I would say, "what is the magic word?", then the question was rephrased "teacher, borrow me the eraser, please?"
and another magic word?" - "Thank you" the kid used to say. Parents also was happy with that, as they never seen their kids saying thank you, please or I'm sorry. I see some people should take this lesson too.
Another thing I used to say in my first day with the class was: Who don't like Mathematics, Science, History,etc?" The kids raise their hands. So I would say - "Do you know why you don't like them? It's because you don't understand them, once you start understanding, you will love them! And I'm here to help you to understand."
I'd never been treated rudely, and I'm 52 years old! I guess it's my turn to learn how to accept some people and understand them, and maybe send some love to them through my creations.
I'm overwhelmed with your messages, and I will print them out, put in my wall next to my angel, that picture I shared with you some while ago. And every time I read and see them, I won't feel I'm alone, that I have "REAL" friends surrounding me.
Pauline, thank you for sending my message to my family. Louise(2createit), thank you for coming over and giving me that big hug! I felt all my cute family hugging me! My family, thank you for being there for me.
I will win this depression, because of you, my friends.
I love you all.
Yoriko

I am sorry Yoriko that I do not know the circumstances.... I have learned that when people are mean it is because they are hurt themselves or they have
some sort of inadequacies that when they hurt others, they feel better about themselves.....If ever someone is mean to you, please remember NO ONE is perfect and the
the only reason for it is because they lack the LORD within themselves to overcome meanness and rudeness...
I LOVE YOU for WHOM YOU ARE....deanna

For all the negativity that came from a rude comment...a least a positive thing also bloomed. It brought you to a point of seeking a treatment that you wouldn't allow yourself before...for that I am happy, because depression is such a silent attacker. I wish my friend would have sought medication for her depression...I believe she would be alive to today if she had. You will win this depression battle...with your written words here, I think you're already on your way! Many hugs and flowers to you Yoriko. ~Rita

Thank you for letting us know how you are. You are loved so very much here! I too am glad you are getting help for your depression. In some ways it is so much harder to deal with than a visible problem because people don't believe what they can't see and think " you are just not trying" or 'you are just being lazy', etc.
As far as the medicine, there are so many choices in several categories that it should be possible to find one that works for you without those terrible side effects. My doctor has told me that different people find different medicines help them, that it is a bit of trial and error to find the right one for you.
Also do get professional counseling, it will help you to see that it is not your "fault" or "laziness" or whatever and help you see how to get out of it and how far you have come so far if you get discouraged, and so on. If you don't feel your doctor/counselor is helping you, try someone else. There are good and bad matches for YOU. Please get all the help you can, both from medicine and from people. Depression is a very sneaky thing - a vicious spiral - it keeps you from doing anything, including and especially getting help for it! Please feel free to talk to me privately if you think I can help in any way. Many, many hugs and Lots of Love, Lois

Yoriko, I also suffered from depression and was on anti-depressants for two years. I hope your doctor can find a medication which will not have such bad side effects and will still lift the horrible depression from your spirit. I'm new here, but it is obvious you are so loved by so many. Remember that when you are feeling down and say to yourself, "I am so loved by so many." I know everyone sends you hugs. Take good care of yourself. Anne

Yoriko, You can do it. You are a Cutie!!!! That says it all. Depression is a cruel illness, but you can tell in advance and be treated. It's OK to take some medication, to help. Get out of the house, excercise. Get your system naturally tired, so you can sleep well. Eat regular even if you have to make yourself eat, have a major goal. Life is good and we have love ones that need us and MISSY, we have to embroider too. GOD Bless you and He will stay with you all the way. Like Cuties in good and bad times. Hugs, Yolandita

Yoriko, it is so good to hear from you. There are so many of us who have had and continue to suffer from depression. The medicine will help, just stick with it until you and the doctor find one that you can take. And counseling is so helpful. I am so much healthier now because of the counseling I went through. Keep talking to us, we are here for you no matter what time of day or night it might be. Big giant hugs to you.

A few years ago I had a battle with depression and one of the things that helped me was to learn to love myself for the good qualities I have, and not worry about my weaknesses. Everyday at the end of the day I would write down three blessings I received because I was a special person. The simplest things were usually my greatest blessings, eg: 1) a sweet daughter shows she loves me cause she wrote me a note. I am blessed with the ability to listen to others, etc. Focus on the good in your life, and don't let the negative thoughts in. When they bang on the door replace them with positive thoughts about your self. It is a hard battle but you are incredibaly talented person I would love to call a friend. You may need to slow down and focus on getting yourself on top of life. Good luck and God Bless, remember you are his daughter and he loves you.

Hi Yoriko, I will be praying for your fast recovery. We may not know each other that close but I feel what you have right now.

Depression is a real beast of an illness. There are too many who don't realize that it is a REAL illness, and you can't just "decide not to be depressed anymore" any more than a diabetic can "decide not to be diabetic anymore". And remember that YOU are in charge of your treatment, not the doctor, not your family, not anyone else. If you don't feel better, or seem to be getting worse, tell the doctor as soon as possible. If the side effects are not bearable, get the doctor to adjust your dose or change you to a different medication. There are lots of them out there, and not everyone responds the same way to each of them. I am sure that there is something that will work well for you, but it may be a difficult path to find it. I went through nine different medicines with varying doses of each before my doctor and I reached a combination that seems to be right. May your search be easier!

You are loved and will pray for you and your family as they suffer along with you because they are worried and love you. Thank you for all you do and please remember you are a lovely person. God Bless.

I to am a long sufferer of depression. Mine started after my mother passed away. Don't shy away from medications. I have been on meds for several years, and can tell you it helps! I do take a small dosage though, just enough to keep me out of that dark place. Keep yourself busy. I work in the yard, sew, embroidery find a good movie on tv any number of things to keep my mind busy, as that is where it starts. After giving myself all day in the yard, doing my work, watching God's wonderful gifts to us (birds, bugs, flowers, trees, etc.) and sweating a little or a lot, whichever the case may be, makes me want to do other things. The more I stay busy, the better my outlook on life. Maybe that is the key, I don't know, but, I do know that keeping my mind busy, keeps my spirits up. There are days I really don't want to get outside, but after I do, I feel so much better! Keep that chin up! You can do it, and don't feel ashamed. There lots of us out there!!!!!

Yoriko I saw this posting only now for the first time. I really am going seeking to see who could be so rude to you. Only the ones suffering from Depression knows what it is like. And the medication is there to help you. If you do not take the medication your brain start mulfunctioning and that is really very bad. I myself am taking medicine for that. I am thinking of you in my prayers and know God will help you to be a fully functioned person again. Lots of love and hugs from me. Annatjie

Hope you are on the road to recovery. My husband has been under doctors care for 15 years for depression. He started with 4 pills a day and for the last 10 has been on 1 pill. He says he would like not to have to take them. I told him, if it helps to cope with day to day events,take them. Think positive thoughts,and remember the old saying "you might as well laugh as cry, you get through it so much better" is true. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We all love you and wish you only the best. Please take care , think positive and above all listen to your doctor. It does take time for your body to adjust to new medication. My husband was a few months getting the right dose that worked for him. Thinking of you, Love and Hugs Lynn

I am sure everyone will agree with me in this. Please do not feel it is urgent and make yourself feel pressured to personally answer all of the well wishes that have been sent your way. Just take care of yourself and know continued prayers and positive thoughts continue to come your way.If you feel you can give an update on how you are doing that would be great too. Many here have battled and are continuing to fight against the depression monster and you are not alone.

I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself. Medications take time to figure out. There are so many different ones and different doses. You will find the right one eventually. I look forward to hearing from you as you recover.

Yoriko, We all love you and are praying for good health to return. I am heading to church right now but will email you when I get home. Take your meds as Dr prescribed and try to stay calm. Just remember you are very loved by alot of caring people right here! Please try to ignore any stupid coments from anyone made in anger. They are the ones with a big problem, NOT YOU! You take care and busy yourself with things you love to do. That is good theraphy! Hugs, prayers and alot of blessings! Linda

I am also the same age as you, it sure would be hard to have something like that happen. Please, please take your medication. I know it has some side affects and you might have to try many different kinds, but in the end it is worth it. You see my husband has been dealing with this for over 4 years, he is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I just want to say, God bless you and all you have given. Now it is our turn to give. You are in my prayers and you WILL get better!

Dearest Yoriko,
My mama taught me the simplest saying: Keep your face towards the sun and the shadows will fall behind you"
I too, like many others, have had it rough over the past couple of years and I would NEVER survive if I didn't start and end my day with this saying and prayer. You are definately loved. Concentrate on that and nothing else.
All my love and prayers

Yoriko,
My heart swells to see all the love being sent to you. I too send my love and good wishes to you. I tend to look over rude people as if they don't exist and move on with the better things in life. There are too many wonderful things going on in life to answer to the ugly. I hope all the love and support is wrapping itself around you and you are feeling it with every post that is written because we really do love and care about you. I am a Cutie and a Designs by Sick member and I enjoy seeing you in both places. Just keep your head up and know that you are loved.

Yoriko, you with all your loving words, and loving heart, bring tears to my eyes. I believe in all the words you taught, I did the same plus "Excuse Me". God blessed us all when he brought you into our lives. I am sorry you are not well--it amazes me that you could give us all so much--while you are feeling so lousy. You are very loved here. H&*

Yoriko, I'm so glad you are willing to take your medicine to help you get better from your depression. God gave us doctors in order to help us and I am thankful for that. Remember how much the Cute family loves you and then think of how much more our Lord loves you. My prayer is that you will feel His arms around you holding you so very tight during this difficut time. As always we must live one day at a time, even though it isn't easy. ****4U

Yoriko, I, like you, when I was around 45 suffered of mild depression, at first I did not want to take any medication,I though fighting it by myself, I do not like to take not even aspirin, After weeks of seeing no results, I started taking it, I did not have so many sides effects, I used them for around a year, then without asking the Doctor, i began taken less dosis, and at the end I felt I did not need them, so far that happend 12 years ago, and when I feel uneasy I stopped whatever I am doing do some breathing exercises and pray. god bless you!!!!

Dear Yoriko,
You are one very brave, strong, caring and loving woman - I love your work and your understanding heart. Prayer is mighty powerful and I know you will get through this dark patch.
Always look for the silver lining - because above the grey clouds the sun is always shining and that is such a powerful image (you can also read that as the SON is always shining for you)
May our Lord encompass you with his Love and Compassion and bring you through this episode - one day at a time.
Just look at all the wonderful well wishes of love and concern for you. WOW! you are well loved.
Love and blessings Chris

Dear Yoriko, I am thinking of you and I send you a huge hug and love from MN. I have always taught my students that If you can't say something nice don't say anthing at all. Words can really hurt, and I know that prayer and the love from all of us here at cute will pull you through. Besides following Dr. orders you might want to journal. Sometimes getting feelings out helps you feel better. I know that I have done this and I feel the weight off of my shoulders. God Bless you sweetie!!!!!!!!!

Yoriko, I have been gone for 2 days and am just now seeing this. My precious, precious friend. I know that you will overcome this. I have family members who suffer from depression and I know that you hurt all over. I will stand up for you and pray for you when you can't. You have much love and support to pull strength from. Use it. I send you more hugs!

Yoriko. My thoughts are with you as you fight this depression. I am glad your Rod removed you from the hospital. A mental ward is not the place to be and you are better off where you are comfortable. I agree with the others about your medication and your body will tell you what works and what doesn't and the doctor needs to listen and change it as required. Try to take time out for yourself and do something you really want to do and most of all it is take it slowly and one day at a time. Thinking of you and sending you good thoughts and love to be able to get it under control.

My precious dear, I am so sorry to hear this.
It is the downside of being a great artist. And you are!
You will overcome this and it will make you an even better one.
Don't stop talking, don't stop expressing yourself-
your art will help to overcome this crisis.
I am sure with this and to encourage you I send you this picture of Frida Kahlo, a strong women and a great artist like you.

Dear Yoriko,
I´m so sorry to hear this about you, you are such a lovely and helpful person and so generous to all the cuties, we can´t say enough "THANK YOU" to you.
I also had this illness long years ago. With a lot of time and the right medicine I beat it. Rest and take time for yourself, your art can help you to get well or all the designs can wait: Your health is more important. Feel better soon.
Love and hugs
Connie

Your true friends and family will stand by you and you will emerge healthy and with a new look on life and know that you are a good person and wanted and loved dearly.

Precious Yoriko, I'm so sorry that you are suffering from Depression. I'm also taking medication for that. Please know that it is not your fault. Many times it's caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Sometimes it can happen after a traumatic event such as the loss of a dear friend. Be assured that you are a wonderful person and we love you dearly. Thank you for being our CUTE friend. Love and Hugs, Marjorie

Yoriko this is the first chance i have had to tell you that im thinking of you .... your are over the worst part because you have accepted that you have depression and need help to overcome it. It is not an easy road and especially on your own please know we are all here to help you anytime you need. If i was closer i would come and visit you. Some of the medications do have some not so nice side effects but they can take about 3 weeks unfortunalely to kick in and its a matter of the right one. Please have patience and there is a light at the end and you have the support you need to get you through...remember to focus on the good things and understand that some of the bad things we have to go through are so we appreciate the good even more im sure its ment to test us at times but sometimes there is no reason for it take care.OXOXOXOX Ash

Hello Yoriko, You are a very nice and kind person who cares for others very much. You helped me out with a design of names to put on towels for my niece and her husband a while back. She is fighting cancer and these towels help pick up their sprits each time they look at them (they're for display only) with the help you gave. So, you see....you have a great affect on people's lives that you may not even know. You are a very giving and generous person and I wished that I could meet you in person too! My prayers and thoughts are with you. Lots of love....Emily

I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. I know from the comments here that you are a well respected and loved member of the cute community. Please do not let one person give you so much pain. Just hold onto all the good messages on this site for you.
When my son was going through a difficult time I used to send him a mental hug (he does not live near to me). I am sending you a mental hug now. I hope it gives you the strength it gave him.
Kindest Regards

Just to clarify - We as a family send each other a mental hug when we really just want to gather the other peoson in our arms and give them a big squeeze. As I said before we are not near enough to give an actual hug so we found this way of sending and giving each other support.

"I'd never been treated rudely, and I'm 52 years old! I guess it's my turn to learn how to accept some people and understand them, and maybe send some love to them through my creations."
Dear Yoriko,
You are amazing! Even at this low point in your life you are strong enough to have this thought. It helps me to see that you can and will beat this. Depression takes over so many people's lives. Fight it at every turn. When you want to stay in bed make yourself get up. When you want to stay in the house make yourself go out. My daughter had deep depression after she was in a car accident that robbed her of her youthful years (25-30). A therapist helped her a lot. Can you try this? I think it would be a great help to you because we all need help sometimes.
Yours, Kathy
