(and I'm sorry if I sometimes have come across as angry in the past, even yesterday. (?) I don't censor all my words, maybe I should do... but part of my recovery is expressing my truth)
Love and peace to all in this Depression Group  |
Love is certainly the answer to all the chaos in the world, however there are very few souls in the world who know how to love hence the lack thereof.
I don't know if I will ever recover from my major depression and frankly, that seems like a far possibility and I have made my peace with it. All my energy and emotional resources are going to "just being OK". In other words, if I am OK enough to go to work, OK enough to maintain my personal relationships in a healthy level, and OK enough to exercise every day and find the strength to eat healthy, i feel like I have accomplished a lot.
When the pain caused by depression is intense and deep, I have no choice but to appreciate and have gratitude for just being OK.
