DEPRESSION

Emily was feeling very sad after her husband left their marriage for another woman.

At work, Emily had difficulty focusing. She lost interest in the normal negotiations that often drove her day in business.

Emily was restless – and, for the first time in her life, questions hung over her as thick as pea soup.

Emily wondered, what was the use in trying?

All this money, but no husband or children. What good was it to have this career and make sacrifices?

Emily began to have feelings of profound guilt for not being good enough, and that nearby bridge was calling her to jump.

Emily has all the indicators of major depression.

Anger, sadness, difficulty focusing, not taking pleasure in work, restlessness, and thoughts of suicide.

This is a very serious matter and warrants attending therapy. Begin unraveling the web of events that led to this impasse.

Talking can help. Here’s How.

Talking about your thoughts will first help you not feel so lonely and isolated. Being listened to is where love begins.

First, you must listen to yourself so that love will grow within in time. I will help you learn how to listen to yourself. Together, we will discover there is lovely with the unlovely, there is strength with being fearful, and there is a truth to be found amidst the ashes.

Through this process, you will accept yourself with greater clarity, compassion, and care, which eventually can be shared with another.

Emotions matter, and you only have one life to live.

Why not use that anger to work for you?

The best revenge is a well-lived life.
