Depression, I guess that is my middle name. I have had it for quite a few years now however my doctor does go between saying I suffer from major depression to saying that I am on the low end of the scale for being bi-polar. I don't care what you call it, some days I am ok, and others I feel like I have slapped in the face!
I do know that even though I don't always have a good grip on myself I ususally turn out ok and haven't done anything stupid. Ok, I do get on these buying sprees every so often, but I do manage to stop myself before I haul out the old credit card. The only thing I have done with major money -- and I don't remember actually doing it, was to buy my house. I know I did it because I have pictures of me at the lawyer's signing the papers, and mostly I have the mortgage! I don't even remember looking at the house to be honest. Mom says she tried to talk me out of it, but I was stubborn as could be. The good thing is that I bought a house that was a little less than I could afford at the time, and now my house payment is lower than any rent I would have any place now.
Buying a house was good. Buying THIS house? Well, I could have done worse!! Oh, please don't feel sorry for me. Like I said the payments are within my current income so no real harm done. The place is ok, but in my "right" mind I would have choosen one with a big back porch, and a bigger kitchen.

Yeah, I struggled with depression for a bit after I got off drugs. But fortunately I had a great therapist and some lovely perscription meds to get me through it all. Now I'm off the meds & generally happy so... Anyway, stress the good things. The fact you own a house is GREAT! And like you said, it's MUCH cheaper than what renting would be. :-)

But at least you're not paying rent that you can never get back. Owning a home is so much smarter than renting.
I would love to own a house, even if it had a small kitchen and no back porch! I'm renting and will be for a while longer. My husband got into an accident 5 and a half years ago and now his credit is tainted. We're going to try to work it out, so we can quit throwing our money away. ~Melissa
