Hi Lilya,
How are you feeling today?
When I feel waves of depression, I like to think of them as literal waves, knowing they will move; they will pass. I try to pamper myself a bit( take a long bath in lavendar oil, polish my toenails, get a massage) and that helps but what seems to help most is exercise for me. Yoga, in particular. As you do, I try to look at the depression and see what's running it but more often than not, it doesn't seem to get cognitive. I've been using a lot of visual imagery with my prayer/meditation, offering up whatever is distressing me (even just the emotion at hand) and praying for the grace to let go. If it is a loved one, I surround them with light and try to remind myself that I am not their HP. That helps me let go. Funny but I have lifted others up but not myself! I'm trying to change that.
Hope you're feeling better, my dear L.
((love))
