Kenster is right, if you can't live for today then live for tomorrow. As time passes situations change in ways we cannot imagine. Opportunities and good people can enter our life unexpected. One thing is for sure: things never remain just the same.

So whatever distresses you keep riding the tiger, keep doing your best, never surrender. And one day, hopefully not too long, you will feel positive and uplifted. This is the way of all things.

In the meanwhile, whilst you await the sea change in your life, there is one worthwhile thing you can do. Too much anxiety (and depression about feeling anxiety) can leave us nervously depleted and exhausted. Our nervous system can take no more stress and becomes over-sensitised.

In this state every minor problem and ailment becomes exaggerated ten fold. We have acquired anxiety disorder and we begin to fight it and fear it. These responses are meant to be helpful but they are not. Fighting brings more stress and strain, the last thing over-sensitised nerves need. And adding second fear to first fear ensures the continuation of our affliction because anxiety feeds on fear. So what to do?

Once there was a woman who realised that we can recover our quiet mind and relieve our anxiety and depression by doing the very opposite to what we have been doing all these months and years. And she devised a method that would bring recovery to everybody no matter how deeply or how long they have suffered.

First she cured herself. Then she wrote a book called 'Self help for your nerves' sometimes also titled 'Hope and help for your nerves'. Her name was Claire Weekes and her first book is available new or pre-owned for a few pounds or dollars on Amazon and ebay.

Recently, somebody wrote her biography titled 'Claire Weekes - The woman who cracked the anxiety code'. The title says it all.

I commend this book to you. If you've already read it, read it again. And again if need be. I wish you God's speed in your recovery.

thank you so much Jeff, i will read it

Nothing to lose, everything to gain, Aphroditee. I well remember when I first read that book. I sat down. I opened the cover. My recovery had begun.

I experience depression, and lately I’ve been exhausted! I’ve been so exhausted there is a part of me that wants to just die. BUT there is something I know - recovery is possible and it is worth the effort!

Because I know this and have experienced it, I have hope, and because of that hope I’ll continue to strive to take care of myself and live. I’ll take my medication, talk with my therapist, control my blood sugar (I have diabetes), exercise, crochet, listen to music, get enough sleep, and get support from others who have experienced depression.
