I hope things change soon.  

Know the feeling well. Hope that turns around for you soon 🌻 

Thanks Windy and Morticia 

@windy. It’s catch 22. All the things I known I should do to snap out of it- exercise , meditation- i don’t feel like doing. 

Definitely can relate to that feeling. Losing interest in entirely everything hits different. Hope you can find some strength in you and things start getting better for you. 

I get it, me too.  

TJ, I get like that. I went thru a lot of deep depression when I was younger. Took a lot to climb out of that hole. Hoping you find your way out soon. I feel for ya, it's hard. Hang in there friend 💙 

@windy- I know what I was going through was not clinical depression. Sounds like your was. Debilitating- i've seen it close up. I used my mindful meditation techniques to get through it.I remember this quote- "There are no good things or bad things, only thinking makes it so". You know who said that? No google! 

TJ, glad to hear you're feeling better. I had all the markers but never sought a formal diagnosis. Went thru some pretty severe marital issues so it's not like it was without reason. Now lemme think 🤔.... I know the quote..... Could it be...... Our friend Bill??? 😁 

W-same core issue. Did you ever take medication? And I am actually surprised you got that. I'm into mindfulness and that sounds like something one of the gurus would have said! He was ahead of his time. lol. You ever read 'Power of Now"?  

I'm sorry. :( No, I never did. Try to stay as natural as I can so avoid medications of all kinds as much as possible unless absolutely necessary. And believe it or not I actually thought the same thing at first (and I have read that quote before), but without google only took a guess it was Bill from last quotation challenge, haha. For sure it fits right in with current guru mantras! I havent read that book. Stay in the moment, let the past go and tomorrow take care of itself? It has taken me a long time to let go of yesterday, but it is very freeing indeed. 

Hugs 🤗 

Not as bad as yours apparently was. ( situation) sounds pretty bad. I haven’t read power of now - just some podcasts. I was hoping you would be my canary in the coal mine.

It was what it was and I was young. Aha! Nope, never been down that rabbit hole lol. -“Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.” A very good reason to make now as best we possibly can, bc it is all we have. Thank you for sharing that. 

Well i gave it a try- downloaded his audiobook. Couldn’t get into it. A - he’s a boring talker. B- the subject matter is too deep. So there’s my review
