Smiling On The Outside, Crying On The Inside

Can you relate?  It took me going through cancer and retiring from my Medical Billing Company to learn that I was depressed.  I always thought I was the most positive person there was to be around.  I woke up happy, had a positive statement for every negative.  But grant it I was a workaholic.  I thrived on being busy (so I thought).  If I had free time, I filled it with something to do.  I was owner of a very successful Medical Billing Company, had 2 children (at that time) a Mary Kay Consultant, a Sunday School Teacher, Youth Leader.  Then as my older children became teenagers 18 and 15 I had another child, then I as he grew I added organizer for a local playgroup.  

It was not until after I slowed down that I realized I suffered from depression found I was able to loose myself in my work.
