I am trying to apply what my Dr. talked to me about in the office this past Friday. He
also mentioned using coping mechanisms to not just manage feeling but also to apply to the narrative of my life. Very helpful idea.
I am super depressed right now. Feeling hyper focused and not so able to look
beyond it. I feel fear about the future. But maybe I should look at the business of life
to keep me moving forward and engaged in my day.
In that I shouldn't feel isolated, in that I should feel in the company of man who are also
taking care of their life and business.
I was at my Father's today and he brought the conversation around to me moving on to other work. We talked about it - in my psyche I have sensed this is probably a direction I should go in. I may feel fear - but I need to deal with that fear - and not let it impede me from moving forward. Even if I feel different than others. In some ways, I am not so different. I may lose my bearings and have blind spots but I should find my footing again
Sorry you are depressed. I pray you will feel better soon. I think your idea of fear is a good one, but easier said than done sometimes. A preacher lady I listen to sometimes says "do it afraid" when you feel fear. I try to remember that. It is fearful thinking about change. I, for one, hate change. I'm sure that no matter what, you will be able to move forward when you are ready to. You are a strong person.
The absence of fear is foolishness. There are very real dangers in the world that SHOULD be scary to somebody with full awareness. Fear exists to warn us of those dangers.

Courage is action in the face of those dangers.
Stay brave, Mark.
thanks Arfie!
