Spark of joy

I've finally started taking small steps toward recovery, and I actually had a spark of joy a couple days ago. I was listening to a song I particularly like, don't even remember what song now, but that's a feeling I am working to experience more often, as we all are. It was a moment that was as close to carefree bliss as I'm capable of at this point in time. I had another fleeting good moment today while using my new Day Light light therapy lamp. I'm looking forward to correcting my late phase sleep schedule by using the therapy lamp first thing each morning, and hopefully more good feelings from it.

Now I'll pose the question to all of you - Have you had a "spark" recently? What were you doing?

I am happy you are finding your 'spark'. I have been doing fairly well for awhile, and these moments are so appreciated. To be happy... It isn't always that way, but it comes more frequently as you improve with your depression. At first, I couldn't handle a good feeling because I was so use to feeling badly. But you become more comfortable with it as time goes by. Keep up the fantastic work. I hope that you keep improving.

Hugs, Karen

Thanks Jamie,

Hi All

Haven't been on in a long time, working on closing on a mortgage-aaaggghhh.

I am treatment resistant and have finally started my own program of spiritual readings, meditation and music. I come on this am and see this thread-awesome.

Sparks-

My daughter and I giggling so hard we almost wet our pants

My sister telling me I am a warrior in my battle against drugs and depression

Lots of music classical to country-I get up and dance and that always feels joyful.

Learning to let the past go-a major milestone this forgiveness thing is

anyway, great subject!! And I hope everyone has a super sparkly day_LOL
