Hello to anyone reading this....

Just wanted to share a positive thought. Over the past few days I really crashed....depression, endless tears, anxiety, grief over the loss of my best friend, who completely abandoned me and our friendship about six weeks ago. As usually happens when I'm in that kind of place, I could see no perspective, or feel even a glimmer of hope. Been there a million times, or more. Having done battle with the depression demon for most of my life, I realize that sometimes people are so deep in their pain that nothing anyone says will ~can get through....been there too. But then again there's always the possibility that somehow, some way, something does. So with that in mind I just wanted to say that for some reason....a complete mystery to me....today something broke loose and I am able to see that I still exist outside of the depression, and am even feeling a little bit of hope for the future. (As a therapist of mine used to say...."You are not your depression"....simple, but true.) So, for what it's worth I just wanted to share this, and send out lots of wishes for all of us to have those better times ~moments....
