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) Wysteria Blue

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
