WORRY has completely defeated me. My mind was so confused and troubled that I could see
no joy in living. My nerves were so strained that I could neither sleep at night nor relax by day.
My three young children were widely separated, living with relatives. My husband was in
another city trying to establish a law practice. I felt all the insecurities and uncertainties of the
post –war readjustment period.
When all was darkest and there seemed to be no help, my mother did something for me that I
will never forget or ceases being grateful for. She shocked me into fighting back.
She upbraided me for giving in and for losing control of my nerves and my mind, she
challenged me to get up out of bed and fight for all I had. She said I was giving in to the
situation ,fearing it instead of facing it, running from life instead of living it.
So I did start fighting from that day on. That very weekend I told my parents they could go
home, because I was going to take over; and I did what seemed impossible at the time. I was
left alone to care for my two younger children. I slept well. I began to eat better, and my spirits
began to improve.
A week later when they returned to visit me again, they found me singing at my ironing. I had a
sense of well -being because I had begun to fight a battle and I was winning. I shall never forget
this lesson....... if a situation seems insurmountable, face it! Start fighting! Don’t give in.
From that time on I forced myself to work, and lost myself to work. Finally I gathered my
children together and joined my husband in our new home. I resolved that I would became
well enough to give my family a strong, happy mother. I became engrossed with plans for my
I grew stronger and stronger and could wake up with the joy of well - being , the joy of
planning for a new day ahead, the joy of living. And although day of depression did creep in
occasionally after that, especially when I was tired, I would tell myself not to think or try to
reason with myself on those days and gradually they became fewer and fewer and finally
disappeared.
Now, a year later, I have a very happy, successful husband, a beautiful home that I can work in
sixteen hours a day, and three healthy, happy children and for myself , peace of mind.
