You definitely did not bring this upon yourself or your loved ones. This was not something you chose, nor is it something you could control.Dr. Jennifer Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363484676356078837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276681134378494358.post-16069743736361224062014-09-09T14:06:29.335-07:002014-09-09T14:06:29.335-07:00This was helpful, especially everything said here ...This was helpful, especially everything said here about depression and anxiety. Exactly where I am presently. Lots of "thinking" about sucicde, for example, as if I deserve to die for bringing all this on upon myself and my loved ones. The big fear then becomes, will I do It? So far, can't imagine doing so really. I like to believe a life is useful until the moment it ends. The bigger reality beyound my suffering is THAT I am suffering. And the BIG suffering is the challenge to my faith as I knew it. To my God as I understood him. To my life as once lived it. So much wasts, though, really. I mean, no matter what, it winds up being all about me. My only way out of the forced self focus and being absorbed by the predicament is to really look at, listent to and communicate with other people. Expeically people who have different issues to deal with. Constantly conferring with other environmentally challenged individuals has a way of setting everything in cement. No flow, flesibility or hope. And if someone does improve, envy sets in. And terrible resentment, if one is not on guard. Anyway, thanks for the info here. So important as a reminder that we have common reactions, normal reactoins, sane reactions that appear anything but to situations that are in fact anything but. Keep the faith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
