Depression and Accepting or Resisting Futility

[xise]

You've touched upon thinking upon the deeper distortions these situations trigger within you, and it can be helpful to the view your situation as a result of the deeper inner distortions & your situation as having primarily internal causes, rather than the trigger/surface level distortion frustration/pain with your friend or mom's choices.

I found that as long as I have perceived/continued to focus my problems as real life/external/intermediate things that bother me, without really seeing the situation in terms of the the inner/internal energetic level concepts as the true cause of internal turmoil, my path to healing has been longer. ymmv.
