Hi Kevin,
Thank you for sharing this journey.
As I watched "How To Work On Yourself When You're Feeling Terrible” you
mentioned “that these poor states do not last forever.”
That comment really rang home for me. While I’ve not experienced the level of
depression you’ve described… being ’down in the dumps’ is a regular occurrence
(does that idiom translate well?). One way I’ve addressed the dark feelings is
to ‘experiment’ with writing poetry… usually single focus/verse poems… here are
several related to living with and recovering from the darkness:
It seems to me depression
escapes from my despair:
And seeks to overwhelm me
so I no longer care.
It seems to me disguises
are fearful of themselves;
And serve to cloak the darkness
beneath which no one dwells.
It seems to me that kindness,
a gift to one and all,
Excises pain of others
and helps to break my fall.
It seems to me compassion,
the precursor of hope,
Sets high our sights on caring
and gives us strength to cope.
be well,
randy
