I hope you find something that works. I hate being depressed. When I'm depressed I think it is a more accurate assessment of my life. When I'm not depressed it always scares me how distorted I was thinking under the effects of depression. |
Meditation takes a lot of practice. It is difficult. I often fall asleep but I don't think that matters. They say it does but I don't care. I find it beneficial because it has allowed me to more naturally stay in the moment when not meditating. Of course anxiety and depression make that doubly difficult. I struggle and then I remember I can handle this one day if I don't think about the past or future.
