Welcome to My Blog

Hello!

I am successfully being treated for major depressive disorder. Besides seeing my lovely psychologist regularly and my psychiatrist several times a year, I put a lot of effort into self-care.

I hope my journey and efforts encourage you.

If you are having an emergency, psychiatric or otherwise, go the emergency room or call 911 or your local paramedics. Call your doctor. Call the police. Call someone!!!!

You are worthy enough to be alive on this planet.

Creating Our Own Anxiety

Today's posting is right out of  Meditations for People Who Worry  (copyright 1996) by Anne Wilson Schaef.



Being Creators Not Victims

"The natural role of twentieth-century man is anxiety." - Norman Mailer

" If anxiety has truly become natural, maybe this should be a clue that it is time to do something differently as we approach the twenty-first century.. . . We have designed our lives and our societies in such a way to make our anxiety our reality.

What good news! If we are the one who have designed our lives and society - constructed the sets and created the drama - then we have the power to change them.

We are not just the victims of our situation. We are the creators of something new."

At this moment I can't think of a change I recently made in my life, but after I get off this computer, I'm going for a walk.
