No one here is qualified to tell you if you are depressed or not... only your doctor can make that determination

Do not allow the dark to win. The place of healing starts with learning how to be kind to yourself. But you have to start. And you have to learn. Its not just given to you. So many people don't understand that happiness is not a human birthright. Happiness requires work and a level of emotional inte...

You ever get the vague feeling, man, there has GOT to be more...? The feeling that there IS more... And that by NOT moving on the "more," you deny yourself... ...something. But, what of all the karma... the causation... of your life? Family, friends, loved ones, responsibilities? Decisions...

There's this dude I look up to who said once, "You,yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

Airstream, I wish I could give you something to really hang on to.

When I've examined that same space in me (where you are)... well, I get where you are, for one. But, looking at the depth and breadth of who we are...? Dude, there are universes there. And they are totally worth exploring.

You, sir, have my respects having gone though all that you have!

Well spoken, sbw. Good inspirational words.

jj I hear where you are. The echo sounds very familiar to me. I wish I had magical words that sweep all your bad feelings away. Despair, I think, is the hardest. It seems like it will never end. I am sorry. At least know this... I am sitting in my back garden at 7:45 in the evening (it was only mayb...

Power. Power in those words, jj. Find it in yourself, somewhere, jj, to believe in yourself. I DO believe in you. I know many others do, too. I know you don't think of us as a pack of liars, so.. if we can and do believe in you, don't you think you should, too? I mean, if you're looking for a majori...
