Hi Dibs, Right on, man. I should have stated out front that my Buddhist approach to depression does not rid me of depression. I still struggle. Its my approach to the struggle that has changed. Before I go further, I want to say, this approach to depression, for me, has been at least as good as any ...

If you have questions, please ask via message/email here. -- Probably a familiar story you've heard from other folks. I landed (if you...

Beautiful, beautiful jj

I wish, somehow, I could take it away for you.

At least know your words are being heard.

And know that energy comes rushing your way.

You are one courageous lady, jj. You have my big respects. I understand that feeling of... an emotion blooming in you and then you need to assign it to a cause. Boy, do I get that! Its an effect looking for a cause (sounds weird, but that's how I look at it in myself). A neghative feeling blooms and...

I've been going back and forth in my mind about this thread and what I may or may not have to say. The thing that keeps coming back to mind is "how perfectly arrogant of me." I dislike it when people preach. I don't want to do that myself. So, I'll end this thread here by saying this - wha...

Jet, I've only recently (in the last few years) realized that my craving for external affirmation was a major component to my depression and suffering. I know, bro, it is so hard to face into that. It seems some part of us will go to extremes just to get affirmation. And if someone tells us "I ...

I am sorry you are going through all this. I'm sorry that you feel so alone. I wish I had something really useful to tell you. But, I read what you wrote. I was paying attention... I hope things might get at least a little better for you. If you write more, I'll read it. *hugs you*

Thanks, Hollyann! We'll see how this goes. Life management versus Depression management I intentionally named this thread "life management" instead of "depression management," because I've recently stopped looking a depression as its own entity (if you will) in my life, my psyche...

Life Management. What Works for Me.

INTRODUCTION Thanks for stopping and reading this. I'm just a Depression-Understood-forum-user like you. I am not writing this to tell you what you should or should not do. That would be massively arrogant of me; and besides, my approaches to depression, anxiety, OCD and life, in general, maybe utte...

Mercy here. Compassion here. Greeting confusion with kindness. And it all seems less harsh. Less self-absorbed.

Somehow.

Hiya, What I've read in that book (and a few others I've been reading) HAS helped me with negative reactions and anxiety, but not in any direct sort of way. Really, its taught me some things about how I think and about the process of thoughts. Today, I just happen to have my Kindle handy, so the act...
