Depression
We can never separate from ourselves. We try to distract ourselves when more difficult feelings show up and we can’t do it. Try as we may, it is not possible to indefinitely avoid what is bubbling up inside. Maybe it is time to give up and start listening to what is trying to unfold. This dark road takes some courage but you don’t have to walk all of it alone. Useful pointers are available from wise people who have known this dark path. Medication can be a useful tool.
