Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
This should probably be a journal entry but I guess I'll write it here. I woke up this morning and as soon as consciousness hit me so did the worries and thoughts and the tensing body which is nothing new.
I started thinking about myself and the problems I'm having and for some reason my mind shifted from thinking of this list of problems to things that were missing in my life that were keeping me from feeling ok and at peace such as healthy relationships and good health, etc. Somehow this small shift in thinking (from problems to conquer to gaps to fill) kind of relaxed me and made me feel less critical of myself. When it happened it felt kind of profound at least for a few minutes. Now that I'm writing it seems kind of stupid. Anyway...

I think about small things I'm grateful for. A sunny day. the leaves have almost all come down so I can finish raking until next year., the few odd warmer days between cold ones. I hate the cold.
The process you've described is fantastic. Don't let the 'Depression' take away the awesomeness of what you have done... I often do that (easier said than done).
