Depression stinks...

It's so hard to always be upbeat and happy for the wee one since I'm not happy right now.  So what am I doing about it?  I've gotten into a funk since I've been having difficulty making friends at the little ones kindergarten class.  I feel so different from everyone.  No one else has a super energetic kid like I do.  I haven't mentioned her having ADHD or anything...  No one else has a chronic health condition like I do.  So, today I made an appointment with an acupuncturist and signed up for a gentle yoga class through the township.  Maybe that will help?  I cannot change the fact that there are NO kids on our street for the little one to play with, that all the adults are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s.  That we assumed the street would turn over since everyone was so much older.  I am so envious of the other streets where the kids just run to the house behind them and the kids play together while the parents oversee.

I don't hate our house, I hate the neighborhood?  I don't hate the neighborhood, I just want to have a few friends and I don't.  I don't like the snobbiness.  Ironically growing up my parents did very well financially so I am from a similar background.  I should feel totally comfortable, but life happened for me.     Off to listen to a discussion on getting kids to listen w/no backtalk.
