DQ says: You mentioned your depression and MLC. I hope you are taking steps for yourself to really pull out of that over time. I do know enough about depression to understand you, but I also have some degree of it myself and I have finally had to find out on my own that I can in fact employ many mental techniques to keep it under control. Then it doesn't spill outward from me and affect my friends and family. I hope you can find that same place. And I also find that when I employ the correct mental techniques consistently over time, it tends to battle my depression almost out of existence. If I stop with the mental techniques, it comes back very quickly. So I have basically learned to live with the mental techniques running through my mind constantly, understanding finally now that if I don't, depression will come back right away. But if I do, I can have not only a depression free life but also, I can have a great positive attitude which then helps me manifest positive things in my life.
Would you be open to sharing more about the mental techniques you use to battle depression? I'm sure that I'm not only speaking for myself, but I could use some more techniques!! : )
I've been looking at "The Work" lately (Byron Katie). That technique definitely helps, but I'd like to hear what works for you.
