I feel it's natural for many of us who suffer depression to have great empathy for others yet care lttle for ourselves. To understand this and be concious of it may help in coping.
I believe in the healing powers of "positive prayer". We often pray for others but we must ALWAYS pray for healing in our own lives....and...be greatful and thankful when it comes. It does too! I'll attest to that!
