I’m not crying, you’re crying. Ugh. As a 43 year old single mother still chasing dreams I feel this with every fiber of my being and I REALLY needed to see this today.
Some days just feel heavier than others and today is one of those days I just don’t see a way out. I don’t know how to put my big dreams into motion to create a life my son deserves. But I will keep going.
Thanks for sharing your journey it is inspirational, not many people have the courage to express their feelings of how challenging some pathways in life can be.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the subconscious mind and the power of meditation, manifestation, visualization, and affirmation in the treatment of various mental health related conditions
I'm getting ready to travel on a cruise to the Greek islands with 2 relatives and this thought kept peaking through. I'm nearly 70 and off and on I have been in a state of depression/anxiety. Sometimes it's really bad, sometimes less so. Could you ever talk about long term depression. I know there 's a DSM word for it? My mother died about 3 years ago and we were very close/connected so I've made lots of adjustments but this depression has been with me on/off since probably my late teens, there was a crisis in my late 20s and since then a pattern of ebbing with talk and medication. I usually either stop the talk or right now I just have reduced the talk part because at my age I almost wonder does the talk make much difference. I have a aunt who attempted suicide, a nephew the same and my father was an alcoholic. My half brother probably was diagnosed as bipolar or schizophrenic. We do not live geographically nearby. He started having symptoms in early 20s. This trip should help. Usually I return feeling much better for about 3-4 months before this flatness and bleh come back. My old therapist is no longer in my insurance system so I'm working with a local mental health provider who essentially will use cognitive training to keep me feeling more on key. Sorry for the length.
Maura continues...I started sniffling and didn't have a kleenex, I looked at the lady sitting next to me and asked her if she had a kleenex.
She handed me a beautiful white linen hankerchief with a lace border.
A true spiritual awakening hit me.....
"We ask for kleenex and He gives us Lace "
I asked the stranger for her address to return the lace hanky..and told her my reaction..
We ask for Kleenex and He gives us lace.She gets all teary eyed and said"No you keep it, I had to hear this more than you did!
God bless your career and your life.
Thank you for sharing!
I would like to know more about depression, not causes, more about dealing with negative thoughts and feelings.
Thank you for sharing this Catherine! I will add this to my list of future newsletter topics.

It brought memories of my own experience many decades ago.
One Sunday at church I kept thinking of all the problems in my life,divorced with 3 young children and on a waiting list for an apartment .
