I had painful depression for a long time, & then I got cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I get depressed sometimes, but not clinical depression. CBT gave me a new way of thinking (possitive comebacks to negative self-talk) & I find my way back to feeling thankful for my many blessings. Also, sometimes things are really sad, such as a loss, & we are grieving, so we have to acknowledge our feelings & be kind to ourselves. I hope you find comfort & will feel inspired by something. Hugs & love to you!!
