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.
When I'm down I like to read thigs that give me some hope. Thought I'd share a few of these with you, hope it helps someone's day.
"The Body is the temple of life.
Energy is the force of life.
Spirit is the governor of life.
If one of them goes off balance,
All three are damaged.
When the spirit takes command,
The body naturally follows it,
And this arrangement benefits all Three Treasures.
When the body leads the way,
the spirit goes along,
And this harms all Three Treasures."
fromm the Taoist scripture.Wen Tzu
"Seek not to understand that you may believe, but beleve that you may understand" St. Augustine
These two are from another book.
"Life is a struggle for joy all along the way. May I fight to win the battle on the very spot where I now am."
"When fear or angeer or any kind of suffering comes to me, I will view it as a spectator. I will seperate myself from my experiences. At all costs I will endeavor to retain my peace and happiness"
Paramahansa Yogananada "Metaphysical Meditations"
Hope this helps someone today! God Bless!
