((((kaika))))

I understand the feeling of isolating and shutting down. I have been shutting down for days now. So, I am sorry you are feeling this way. But I am so glad you posted and shared this with us. For being alone with those feelings is so hard and not easy. Know we are always here for you kaika.

I hope you do see your t soon. Maybe together you can figure this out. But I am so glad you reached out and posted. In that, you set depression back a notch, even though it may not feel like it. You took a step to help yourself and for that you need to pat yourself on the back.

Sometimes we do not fully understand what it is that has us so down, but in realizing something is there, we can start to work on it. Just remember to take one minute--one second at a time and live in the moment. For if you get too far ahead, it causes anxiety and fear. For we know not what the future holds, but we have right now to be in.

Know we are right here and listening. I am glad you posted and reached out. Thank you for trusting us enough to push that send button. Sometimes it is hard to reach out but that is when we need to the most.

Know we care and are here for you. Take care of you and do something kind for yourself. You deserve it. Please keep us posted on how you are feeling and doing.

Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts.
