I have no doubt that my husband thinks I'm cuckoo. I live and breathe my candidate's campaign. I follow the news, I blog, I jump on Facebook, I e-mail strangers to plug my candidate, I go to events, I go to campaign meetings, I bug the campaign director... it's just madness.
I think about it when I wake up, I think about it when I go to bed. I think I'm more driven than the campaign staff!
I don't know how to take a breather. It's like nothing else exists, nothing else is important.
I am going out of my mind. This is not a good thing.
The only thing I have going for me is that I've lost before, (Kerry), and despite the massive disappointment, I figured out how to get my life back.
Anyone else overdoing it?

(8,217 posts)I have to apologize to you, my life went completely crazy for a little while.
Then, at some point or another, I went to a spiral of depression for about a month.
I'm slowly dusting myself back up, and hopefully be able to help you out with Ms. Edwards a bit more soon.
Hope you're doing well.

(6,148 posts)I feel for you. I also struggle with depression.
The campaign office has come out with some robust plastic handouts. Which are very nice, but expensive. So we're continuing with the tri-fold flyers. When I didn't hear from you, a friend of mine said she wanted to take a shot at it. We're trying to diversify and aim at different constituencies. I'll show you what we get and if you have other constituencies in mind, we can modify and go further. I'll get back to you as soon as I've got something.
Many, many hugs,
Lauren

(8,217 posts)I feel like I've bounced back quite a bit already.
It is still awkward and it comes in waves, as it feels like grieving.
I am glad you are diversifying. I am not the best at coming up with words to say, but to format things, I would be more than happy to do for you.
