Current Events.....

It is enough to want to make you curl up into a fetal position and suck your thumb !!!…..I am talking about the state of America right now…and…all this insane political stuff that is taking place. I have NEVER in my life seen it as bad as is appears to be right now…so much good, bad, and ugly comments being made with the political candidates. And then the uprising in other countries, lately…..God, please help and save our United States. This turmoil is not good for people who have anxiety problems and depression….hahaha….but I mean it !!!....yes, I know….we must turn to God and have Faith in Him and His Son, Jesus Christ….and I do.

Beware......

Shredding many years of "important" old tax records and other old papers and receipts, etc....plus...going through old, saved greeting cards and letters, CAN cause melancholy feelings. The shredding was like shredding up parts of my life. I just took a deep breath, said a prayer, and pressed forward.

Imagine.......

.......that you are this child whose face He holds in His hands, and that His eyes are looking into yours with all the tenderness and love in the world.

"Footprints in the Sand"....very uplifting

To be read and re-read often....

Can't I just work through it myself ?

I don’t want to be on any meds for my depression. True, my form of depression is mild compared to other peoples, still it sometimes leaves me not able to function quite like I used to. But I can accept it and deal with it.

I feel the methods I use, explained on this blog, works for me, even though I turn sometimes within myself. I can handle that because I am not a people person anyway and most of the withdrawal/escape happens when I know that I will be in a large group of people. STRANGE HOW THAT DOESN’T BOTHER ME WHEN I SIT IN A MOVIE THEATER FULL OF PEOPLE AND GET LOST IN A FILM !!!

Some of the places/activities where there will be large groups of people, is generally places/activities that appear to no longer interest me like it use to, due to the fact that I am getting older and my interests have changed anyway. So, I choose to just work through my depression episodes by myself, without the aid of meds. By the way, I am also an introvert by nature.
