I went out for a while and took my sis to get a Jamba Juice, my sis is developmentally disabled. I usually take her out once a week or every other week. Anyway.. on the way home depression just hit me hard. Having bad thoughts.. wish I had a good therapist to talk to :(

KC,

Have you tried mindfulness yet?

It really helps when depression hits out the blue like that!

www.mindful.org

It does not take much practice and is easy to put into your daily life.

Do hope you are feeling better today. Self-compassion when those bad thoughts come. I sure know what those are like. I have the scars to prove it. Not worth the time or money it takes to get over the action.

One of my favorite says is "Why continue to punish the punished" You deserve so much more.

Peace and comfort
Trina

I had a great therapist once.. unfortunately, she's in Ohio and i'm in California.. I think she's retired now. She helped me so much.. I was doing really good at one point. It just didn't stay with me :(

I think I need a coach for the mindfulness. I'm just not patient enough. I've tried it a little in the past but I'm not sure I really ever got the hang of it.

KC, do not sabotage yourself before you even start.

Check out the website. There is a spot for beginning mindfulness.

Breathe slowly through this, give yourself a chance!. What would you tell a friend if they were in the trouble? Do you deserve the same chance and support?

Peace
Trina
