Not to downplay your feelings at all, but you are achieving much, helping friends, socialising, auditioning for a play, looking at a new unit, volunteering. All this in a few short weeks since you were in hospital.
Be gentle on yourself.
Said beautifully. And I agree 100%.
As someone else who has dealt with major depression for many years, I am in awe of you
Leshar. You are doing so well!! And I really believe
Crois is right about not giving in to those feelings. I know I can 'feed' my depression. Or I can nurture myself.
And yes
Crois, who'd a thought that looking after ourselves so we can do better tomorrow would work instead of drinking? Probably lots of people, but I'm not one of them.
Well, I am now.
Love and good morning to all of you. ♥
