Depression

[sillypumpkins]

@ GreatCentralSun:

I think depression is not being in line with your higher self and who you truly are.

I sort of view it similarly as mentioned in my post (the "going off the path" bit.) Though, I'm not sure. It doesn't feel 'right' to me anymore...

And thanks for sharing the chart, sun !

@Diana:

Thank you for sharing that excerpt/ perspective.... I can certainly relate to that discomfort one feels when faced with the "sheer vastness of existence." In my experience w/ depression, it often feels like I am being pointed toward that vastness..... it just hurts to look at it sometimes...

@ada:

Thank you for sharing your experience and that Jungian phrase.... I had never heard it before. It reminds me of the Buddhist concept of the Arising and Passing Away...

Great little poem as well.... thanks for that too :-)
