Getting Out of Depression
A forgotten sequence of events
There is a period of a few months that is pretty much lost to me. I was just out of touch and not able to function. Eventually I reached a point where I was able to think about looking for ways out. I tuned to the internet and eventually to my old standby of books, in search of solutions.
At the time, it seemed that one thing led to another and to another and things that were helpful to me just turned up. In a bookshop, I would have an impulse to go to a section that I would normally not bother with and come away with something really useful.
A new plan
I had originally thought of writing about my experiences in a sort of timeline and describe how I came across things. But, for one thing, I can’t remember that sort of detail and for another, it wouldn’t be useful to anybody else. My path to where I am now was quite erratic and best avoided. There are quicker ways to get here.
I think it would be easier and more beneficial to just write individual blog posts about things that I found useful, or not. I will also write about what I am still doing to maintain my happy and balanced state.
Onward and upward
I said earlier that given the chance, I wouldn’t change anything that has happened. That is because I have dabbled with self improvement concepts before, found some useful and some not, but always settled back into a life of dull mediocrity. What happened to me has changed that.
I now feel that I am on a continuous and permanent path of self development and that whatever the future throws at me, I will be more than capable of dealing with it. For the first time, I really know what I want. I believe that we can create a happy and fulfilling life despite MS.
