After the veil of depression has parted

Posted by TamaraJ on March 10, 2005, at 15:09:06

Ok, after 5 failed AD trials and pursuing natural remedies including supplements and accupuncture and hypnosis, I think the veil of depression may actually be lifting. I don't want to jinx myself, but I am starting to feel a bit more like my enthusiastic, optimistic self. Anyway, what I am struggling with now is a sense of loss or remorse. I am not grieving the loss of the depression (LOL), but rather what I lost during the depression (maybe this doesn't make sense). Anyway, I suppose I may just be wrestling with self-forgiveness. How does one refocus their binoculars so to speak and forgive themself for months of living inside a self-protective cacoon? How does one look and move beyond the guilt and shame (because that is what I feel towards myself)? How does one forgive themself for shutting down and shutting out? Maybe it is just me. If anyone else has had to deal with these types of feelings, can you explain to me how were able to refocus your binoculars.

Thanks

Tamara
