Thanks Glok for another great post and articles for thought and/or discussion...
I know I suffer from existential loneliness and just loneliness, and that connection is a big part of healing...but the longer I stay in the place of loneliness that I have found myself in, the harder it is to maintain or create connection. I have no skills like that anymore. And it just hurts.
I have also known that some type of spirituality would always have to be part of my healing. I have searched and read and read and tried to make some "leaps" of faith into the unknown and haven't been able. Probably more humanist than anything anymore...not where I thought I'd be.
There is an old definition of Spirituality that says it is:
- Connection with god (read higher power, science whatever)
- Connection with self, and
- Connection with others.
As my depression has worsened...these connections became ever more weakened or broken.
I know that awareness and light and talking of them should help, but I am left without and it just f-ing aches.
If thriving for me is connections, then just not thriving.
Yeah, will probably die with my fur on. (think Velveteen Rabbit)
