Comments on Depression. It F***in' Sucks!

Jemmie, Wildwoman and
Abuelita had great suggestions. I have found that combining these two ideas always worked for me. Getting out somewhere and running. Being consistent about it, doing it every day, helps your outlook, channels that negative energy outward.

Hope you're feeling better soon and get some help. I'm susceptible to the big D, but find exercise helps to keep me on an even keel.....

That was so beautiful!  Thank you! 

I am trying to get out more.  I know it's good for me.  I shall think of your every time I am somewhere beautiful.

Wow, this is a tough situation
You need to keep going to therapy, it always takes time.

Jemmie..
I hope you get some help soon. Cutting yourself is not a good sign at all and is mostly a cry for attention.

jemmie, my mommy would quote you a poem right now. Since I'm

trying to act like my mommy on Blogit and be the best Abuelita possible, I shall quote you one of her poems.

This is one from 19th century Hawaii.........

Behold

Above, above----------all birds in air

below, below----------all earth's flowers

inland, inland---------all forest trees

seaward, seaward----------all ocean fish

sing out and say-----------again the refrain

Behold this lovely world.

I would ask you to not stay home and sorrow, but go out into your paradise and embrace all that is around you. Look up, look down, look inland and seaward and sing out and say, "Behold this lovely world."

I would pull you by the hand, as your grandmother and point at birds and flowers and watch the sea for hours and admire the dancing of trees in the wind, tracing little animals in the clouds of your Hawaiian heaven. Go out and take me with you..........rediscover life.
