"Remember that God has given us wondrous knowledge and techonology that can help us overcome grievous problems such as mental illness. Seriously mentally ill persons simply cannot, through an exercise of will, get out of the predicament they are in. They need help, encouragement, understanding and love...we don't say to persons with heart disease or cancer, 'Just grow up up and get over it.' Neither should we treat the mentally ill in such an uncompassionate and unhelpful way."
(Elder Alexander Morrison, Emeritus Seventy).

Well, my dear ones, I think I'm going to stop writing on this blog and I'll tell you why. I feel like keeping this blog separate was necessary for the last year or so but I'm starting to feel like I need to merge the things I write on here with my regular blog. I think the time has come for me to say, "Okay, it really is a part of me" (not that I ever thought it wasn't) geez, I'm not articulating this very well.

I feel that if I were to keep this stuff separate from here on out that I would be keeping myself cut in two. I want to feel whole and when I think about discontinuing this "specialty blog" it feels right.

Of course, I won't stop advocating for better awareness concerning depression and anxiety. I'll never give up trying to help people understand but it's just time to pull everything back into one thing.

Is any of this making sense? It's not really that big of a deal. I'll just be including EVERYTHING in my other blog. If you aren't following my other blog, I would recommend doing so because all of my applications and thoughts and feelings specifically about D/A will be there now.

So, this isn't goodbye. It's just I'll see you over there :)
