The commercial basically asks when "you" last checked in with your mental/emotional wellness and states that good physical health often springs from good mental/emotional wellbeing. I think it's great that this attitude is becoming more widespread. Hopefully the stigma that is attached to depression and anxiety/panic disorders cab be lessened by awareness. I work with patients in an optometry office. Not too long ago as I was asking a gentleman about his medications, which included one for depression, he asked me if his situation was unusual. First, let me say that I thought it took great courage for this man to open up to me (a virtual stranger) and was honored that he felt safe enough to do so. I told him that no, his situation was not unusual, that many patients that we see struggle with depression and anxiety, including myself. I hope that by just talking to him without judgement (sp?) that maybe it lessened his burden a little. Keep fighting back, Coni. You are an inspiration!Deborah says......https://www.blogger.com/profile/08764625355472932603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-82586850566320253012017-07-23T11:46:22.918-04:002017-07-23T11:46:22.918-04:00I just lover everything about this post!!!!!!!!

I will be pleasantly surprised if you can move your arm around that much to stitch. On the Dr. Melfi front - I just had a conversation with Elizabeth B. from Needlepoint Now completmenting her on the article by the 2 of you in the last issue of NN. I told her how inspiring you are to all of us. The fact that you opened up about seeing Dr. Melfi really opened and dialog with your readers and allowed a large number of people that have been seeking their own therapy. How it is not a shameful thing as it once was perceived back in the 1800's when I was growing up! It is okay to talk to someone that (as Dr. Phil says) doesn't have "dog in this fight" and can be completely unbiased with their opinion for help. Just another example of how you help hundreds of us navigate through life! Make friends around the pool - maybe a high school kid to help you carry your groceries up the stairs until "Buzzy" gets removed and your health is in a better place - thats of us depend on you girl! Have a great weekend!Dale Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07755932312286648375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-36205167539372395582017-07-21T14:28:06.073-04:002017-07-21T14:28:06.073-04:00May I just say Coni - you have found a winner in D...May I just say Coni - you have found a winner in Dr. Melfi!!!!
