Pink - Just Give Me a Reason LYRICS

Thompson Square - Glass

getting real

I have always been an upbeat happy person but the last two years have taken a toll on me and my family.  The last four months have been the worst I have ever experienced yet. I have never really experienced real depression or understood it but I believe have been experiencing it. I have been doing a lot of thinking  in the last year I have made some mistakes and some of those have been do to denial and depression. trying to fill a void. I'm not making excuses but coming to a conclusion that I need to to something. I need to do it for me, my family and my relationship. It is really hard and overwhelming to make the changes I want to make because I limited and powerless by my circumstances. Don't know really where to even begin. All I know is that if I am going to get out of this it is up me and fight to do so.
  I refuse to give up. I found a site gives a test to gauge where you are you are in terms of depression:

 Also this sites gives some different therapies.

It times for me to live up to my favorite saying and take a stand:

Gun control?

I have been seeing a lot of posts about gun control on face book A lot for and even more against. While I believe that we have the right bear arms, I also believe that guns don't kill people. It is acts and decisions of people to kill. I understand there are moments of self defense and accidents do happen but for the moment it happens it is decision none the less. I am for protecting yourself but with that comes responsibility.  I think that for the most part gun owners are responsible and those who own and register them are responsible. the whole gun control issue is the government scrambling to push an agenda in response to the tragedy in Connecticut.  Responsible gun owners are the ones being punished out of the deal. i don't understand why the guns are the focus and not the regulations of whom is and how to be licensed and maybe give harsher laws on those who violate the regulations. Increase education and awareness.  The statistics are there but the problem is people don't look to really find them and believe the media as is.  I posted the picture above just cause of the statement it makes. The 60 minutes on 4-7-13 talks about some of these points. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50144358n
