Upside down and back up again

By earlyriser Thursday, April 12, 2012

I just wanted to check in to say that I am doing alright. I had a rough three weeks a week ago. I was making some major decisions that were causing me a great deal of distress and stress. I suffered alot of depression and anxiety. I had the support of a close friend who stood by and listened. I ended up deciding not to do some of things by waiting for the right time. I was pushing ahead too fast and not really thinking of the long-term consequences creating a tumultuous environment. I've been writing a lot of poetry lately too and writing in my book a little bit. But overall I am doing pretty good.

Did Depression Evolve to Help Us?

Dear David, this is such a nice, genuine honest post. I sure do enjoy reading your writing. You seem like such a humble person. It's wonderful that you have a friend to help you through times of depression & anxiety, through the turmoil life gives us and or we can even give to ourselves. It's always lovely to see the light at the end of the tunnel. There's always hope, always a way to get out of that abyss. We all need true friends to hold our hands through life, lend and ear, have a shoulder to cry upon & receive a warm hug from, even if it is not a physical hug, but a hug that comes from someones heart, by their words spoken. Anyhow, your honesty is refreshing... I wish you continued healing on your journey & restoration to your whole being... Take Care =)
