Hi fellow sad sufferers

[LotusTree]

How are you all doing?
Me, not so good. Didn’t want to get up til 12 today, but only by planning to go out w a friend (1st shower in at least a week). Back home by 4 and headed right to the couch, so tired.
Anybody w me?

Hello, I’m not so good either. I slept most of the day. I haven’t showered in a few days. Sorry to hear you are going through this too. Depression is a real monster sometimes!

SAD sucks eh? I possibly wouldn’t get up all day if I didn’t live with a parent who guilts me into getting up. That’s probably a blessing though. I’m sorry you’re having hard times too. Thx for reaching out. Really looking forward to the solstice on the 21st when everything will turn around.

Yeah, sucks indeed!

Now how about seeing anxiety in a different way? Not as an enemy but as a friend. No, I have not flipped!!!! It can be turned into a teaching experience. What is it telling us about our life, the way we live and how we treat our fellow beings? There is always a cause for anxiety, which so often can be elusive. This is where good counselling comes in, if you can get it.

And Lotus Tree. You mention the solstice where everything turns around, and that is a very interesting comment. We are all human beings who live on this planet, so consequently are subject to the ups and downs of planetary life. Speaking personally, I find as the year runs down I go down with it. Now this does not affect me unduly any more, but it's there. When the solstice comes I begin to pick up. I don't think this has anything to do with seasons but with a running down of energies.The word 'solstice' means 'the standing of the sun'. Ancient peoples regarded this time as a turning point in their lives and so many ancient monuments were made to revere this time of year. Earth's energies are all round us, Some negative but many positive. We have a choice as to which we take into ourselves.
