There is nothing worse than having someone who has never had it tell you to go take a walk or go do a good deed for someone else. It is maddening, yes? And if you are like me, it has to be waited out, nothing to do for it. I am always terrified that it will never go away, but it always does, eventually. Fingers crossed that yours is a swift pass.

That's huge. It sucks though, that bad time of the mind. You describe it well. I hope you are feeling better today.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-16247378712656799432015-07-27T21:38:07.967-07:002015-07-27T21:38:07.967-07:00I don't know about this kind of depression, bu...I don't know about this kind of depression, but I think just sitting with this dead, dark and gray feeling is the only thing you CAN do. Sit and try not to judge it. Just observe where you are in that moment. Just that moment. And then the next. <br><br>I love you much.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333912009540131399.post-49884197410312335592015-07-27T15:05:45.192-07:002015-07-27T15:05:45.192-07:00One of the worst parts of depression is not the de...One of the worst parts of depression is not the depression itself but the shame that goes with it. So often in my blog I don't say anything because I feel like everyone must be so sick and tired of hearing it. The thing is, it isn't true. When I am feeling depressed and talk about it I encourage others that are going though it. There is no need for shame. Because it happens to a LOT of people. A LOT. And none of us need to feel shame. And neither do you. Depression is part of what makes you the great person that you are.<br>At any rate, that doesn't help the right now. No matter how mindful I am that "this too shall pass" it doesn't help the right now. All you can do is just be gentle with yourself. Sleep. Eat healthy foods. Have a nice long bath. Read books that don't need you to think much. Just do things that you can do.<br>Sending love.Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479872783727855901noreply@blogger.com
