We, the depressed, the anxious...become very good actors, don't we! It's hard work. You have expressed this perfectly here, thank you! And...we've got your back. I'm so grateful I found your pages and videos. To think it all started for me with the Wawa vid. Love you, MK ❤️ Thank you for so selflessly sharing your journeys with us. You are a true inspiration. 🤗

Anxiety and depression have been with me as far back as I can remember, but I was 52 before I started to address them in a meaningful way. Glad you’ve started at a much younger age!!!

MK Can you tell me if there's a secret to being the spouse of someone who suffers from depression? How do you deal with their depression? I used to be "up", positive, happy. Now I'm just plain tired.

Sending love. I didn't realize I was suffering depression when I was first diagnosed because I didn't feel what I would have called "sad" I just felt... numb. Blah. Tired. Thank you for sharing your experience. The more of us that do the more others will see their own experiences reflected and hopefully suffer for less time! xo-B

People want to be seen, to be heard. They want to know they are not alone, they want to know that someone else out there feels the same way as they do. We're all one Being connected by one energy implicitly. We're a soup of different emotional chemicals that keeps changing leaving us feeling love, hate, joy, sadness, selfishness, fear, anxiety, peace. Each feeling is us but we don't necessarily need to act on each of those feelings, fighting and trying to suppress this feelings only exacerbates them. Watching and embracing our thoughts and emotions as they come and go like an observer without engaging or identifying with them helps us come to the present moment and heal. Thank you for sharing how you feel, it takes courage and it's more relieving to do so.

Totally right there with you. Keep going. It’s so hard to share those parts of ourselves since it’s so easily misunderstood. Your books are certainly a way to do it. You’ve got this.
