Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have been quite depressed for about a month now. September is a month of anniversaries of some horribly painful events in my past, and each year depression seems to take hold in this month. ACT has helped me to accept this since I, apparently, can't change it. And move on with my hands and feet. I've also been sitting on my hands quite a bit. I have noticed some snarkiness and nit-pickyness in some of my recent posts here. That's how I seem to get some relief from my depression. That is not in service of others or myself in any way. I now realize I need to take a step back from the list for awhile. I'm sorry if some of my remarks have hurt anyone. I'll keep reading, of course!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Good luck with your tough month. There are some times of year that call memories to mind for me, too. Or sometimes even very simple things that you wouldn't think would have any effect will call up the memory of a loss. That's being verbal for you! I would like to add that although my experience too has been that posting can often be difficult (hard to know what to say; sometimes we say what we later realize was not helpful), some of your recent posts have really moved me with their wisdom & kindness. E.g. your posts about relationships with therapists - very thoughtful. - R. > > > > I have been quite depressed for about a month now. September is a month of anniversaries of some horribly painful events in my past, and each year depression seems to take hold in this month. ACT has helped me to accept this since I, apparently, can't change it. And move on with my hands and feet. I've also been sitting on my hands quite a bit. > >  > > I have noticed some snarkiness and nit-pickyness in some of my recent posts here. That's how I seem to get some relief from my depression. That is not in service of others or myself in any way. I now realize I need to take a step back from the list for awhile. I'm sorry if some of my remarks have hurt anyone. > >  > > I'll keep reading, of course! > >  > > All the best, > > Helena > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Just to let you know, I enjoy your posts and haven't noticed a problem with them. But at the same time I understand if you want to take a break from posting, just know you are admired and cared for by those in this group!!!! > > > > I have been quite depressed for about a month now. September is a month of anniversaries of some horribly painful events in my past, and each year depression seems to take hold in this month. ACT has helped me to accept this since I, apparently, can't change it. And move on with my hands and feet. I've also been sitting on my hands quite a bit. > >  > > I have noticed some snarkiness and nit-pickyness in some of my recent posts here. That's how I seem to get some relief from my depression. That is not in service of others or myself in any way. I now realize I need to take a step back from the list for awhile. I'm sorry if some of my remarks have hurt anyone. > >  > > I'll keep reading, of course! > >  > > All the best, > > Helena > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
