I feel like I have only lived half of my life because of getting stuck, and becoming discouraged, and not trying very hard. I hope that you will find a way to live more than half a life. Even so, I am grateful for the half of life I did live. Appreciate all the good moments.

I am writing this to you while trying to come out of a very dark 13 month depression. I have had enough of being depressed! It is time to live. Sometimes you just have to force yourself, and pretend, and also push to do a little more than you ordinarily do.

I am going off Psych Central for awhile because I want to put my depression and anxiety to one side.

I don't know if you have ever heard of this but I recently read that a combination of meditation and aerobic exercise is known to really decrease depression. So I am trying this...with 20 minutes meditation in the morning followed by 30 minutes vigorous aerobic exercise. I never give up.

Eat well, sleep well, don't drink alcohol, meditate, exercise...and be light. Be a light to yourself, Sarah. You can do it. Hygge up!
