Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

I'm really sorry I've been such a poop head lately. I promise I will get my act together. I feel like I'm living on the brink of tears every given moment of the day, and it's really hard to explain and I know it's hard for anybody to sympathize when I should be able to snap out of it already. The Happy Camper pills are working a little, I think. But it's only been 3 days. Give me a good week and I'll let you know. It doesn't help that I'm PMSing right here at Thanksgiving and Haven's been making herself even more crazy by coming over practically every night to shove comfort food down my throat. Nothing says love like mashed potatoes with a full stick of butter...broccoli with a full stick of butter...sausage that's been cooked with a full stick of butter. I love you, too, Haven.

I promise I'm working on fixing my head, but it's just going to take me another minute or two. Please don't get mad at me and please bear with me.

Hosting Thanksgiving at my house tomorrow. J-Si and Kinsey are coming, as well as my neighbors Linda and Shirley, John minus Mark, and Nanny Laura will be here. Josh and his wife are stopping by because they have dinner plans later. Shanon might stop by. I forgot to ask her before she left work today. I've got lots of champagne for mimosas just in case I screw up everything I'm cooking. My plan is to get them tipsy before they dive in. Doesn't all food taste better when you're a little buzzed? I'm making my mama's macaroni and cheese, my Mother Price's cornbread, my sister-in-law Lori's broccoli casserole, and my mama's peach cobbler. Wish me luck. And happy Thanksgiving!

XO
Kellie

Hey Kellie,
I hate that you have been feeling down. Just a FYI - I started feeling really down a couple of months ago, finally sucked it up and went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with postpartum depression - my son was nearly two at the time and I thought he was the crazy one but he said its not uncommon so I was put on some meds - took them for a month and am now feeling sooo much better, I really think it was that little boost that I needed to get back into living again.
Well just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Hope you feel better soon!

Sometimes you just have to feel bad. It will get you through in the long run. At least you are realistic and honest about your feelings. So many people aren't.

Kellie, I feel you on the wanting to cry at any given second. Don't feel bad about it. I have a great life too and I feel the same way. It comes and goes and it is impossible to understand but I am glad to hear that other people go through it too!

Kelli, you and your baby girl are in my prayers!

I'm proud of you for as you put it "fixing (my) head". I think this is such a wonderful positive step. I have been through a lot of the same things you have, at least what we are allowed to hear on the air. Depression is nothing to be ashamed of. Anything that is overtaking your life needs to be handled. Life is truly a wonderful thing. It's time you started living it with peace and joy. God Bless! Retro

I'm sailing on the USS Depression too. My daughter left for Boot camp last Sunday, and this is the first time we have been apart for the holidays in 18 and a half years. I'm sure it gets better with time. I'm not sure about taking the happy pills, the side effects are too numerous. I do love listennig to you in the morning though, seems to cheer me up on my way to work. God bless you and Emma Kellie, I have 3 other kids at home, so those three are the ones that keep me going!

Dear Kellie,
It could be that you need to talk with a professional about what's going on with your feelings. NO doctor should EVER prescribe antidepressants for any length of time without requiring their patient to be in counseling with a professional.
I hope your doctor did not just send you away with a bottle of pills and that's it. That's unethical.
I've got problems, you've got problems, we've all got problems, but we need to unpack those things and address them in a healthy way.

You seem like such a lovely person and I hope you find a deep and lasting joy. I have been praying for a few months that you and your fellow radio hosts will find true happiness and sense what it means to live out a fulfilled life that pleases God. God created you, and HE wants HIS little girl to be happy!

I can't come up with anything better than what Leah and DJ said above. You just take comfort in knowing that all your fans love, admire, and are just a 'little bit' jealous of you! Have a great rest-of-the-holiday weekend!

BTW those pictures of you on your MySpace with some guys I don't know are great! You are SO beautiful!

Nobody is happy 24/7. Consider yourself normal. Thank you for sharing bits of your life. We enjoy you and take comfort in your honesty. There is a little bit of Kellie Raspberry in all of us. Kisses to EK!

Happy Thanksgiving, Kellie. I count YOU as one of my blessings. If that doesn't help the blues - nothing will!!!
