when is this spacy feeling going to end!!!!!!! I have been living in a fog for the last year. Before I got the program I thought that I was going mentally insane. Now I know that it is just part of my depression. But whenis it going to end!!! I feel like I will never come out of it and it is effecting my parenting, which makes me feel horrible. I could really use some incuragement from some one who has overcome the daze.

I have been in that fog for years and am finally waking up and coming out of it. Believe it or not, it feels good to feel again. I think that part of it may have been that subconsciously I have not been ready to deal with my anxiety or issues possibly contributing. Part of it may have been some of the medications that I was on. I have considered that being "spaced out" is actually a defense mechanism that your mind uses to help you to function and get through your day or your life in spite of your circumstances or your outlook on your life. Otherwise, maybe I would not have been able to get through a lot of things, if I had faced these issues head-on at that particular time. Maybe I didn't have the resources at the time to help get me through this. I'm not sure, but I do know that God is answering my prayers and that He has his own timing for everyone. That is a hard pill to swallow sometimes. Sometimes, I think I would rather have things happen when I want, but deep down, I want what God thinks is best for me when He thinks it is best for me. I am still coming out of the fog. It is a process, but it is getting better. I am working through a lot of pain and fear. This will happen for you, too. I know it will.
