Depression can be dangerous, and you have experienced first-hand what it can do in its most lethal untreated form. I appreciate your knowledge and concern, and I take it very seriously. Thank you, my friend!<br /><br />As far as guidance goes, I'll be signing up for a couple of retreats at a center up near The Mountain that specializes in shamanistic and nature-based spirituality. Really looking forward to it!Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-57418933247379168662012-05-11T08:34:44.212-07:002012-05-11T08:34:44.212-07:00No, that's not what I meant at all.

If accepting a "diagnosis"...Sorry, Robin. If accepting a "diagnosis" of depression means jumping on the anti-depressant bandwagon, I'm SO not interested. I can find my own way out of my own pit. I have done and will do again. Now <i>there's</i> a Plan...Lisa :-]https://www.blogger.com/profile/02237889098638895390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-38065233241976052012012-05-11T05:19:06.990-07:002012-05-11T05:19:06.990-07:00Ladies: I know from whence I speak.

Saying "I refuse to accept a diagnosis of depression" is like saying "I refuse to accept a diagnosis of cancer."<br /><br />You are gifted women with the possibility of many wonderfully creative years ahead.

So much of what your write runs completely...Lisa -<br /><br />So much of what your write runs completely parallel to what I am experiencing. Circumstances are completely different but the feelings of emptiness (depression), "poor" use of time, lack of motivation, inability to allow for hope and dreams...WOW, do I resonate with you.<br /><br />Is it the product of being this age? Don't you end up wondering about those who say "your 50's are the prime of your life"? How did this happen and how do we MOVE ON?!?<br /><br />Just wanted you to know that I hear you....from the bottom of my heart and the depth of my spirit.sunflowerkat https://www.blogger.com/profile/11643564072168293568noreply@blogger.com
