It sounds like you and I are in similar places. I wonder what would happen if just let myself go and sink into that downward spiral? I've thought (if I had time and money) of going on an extended retreat and just sit and let the mind do it's own thing, and maybe find my true self. I wonder if a crack-up is just hair-breath's away from a break-through. Then I worry too about going completely insane.
warm regards, Jake
If only this were easy. The person typing these sensible ideas has yet to incorporate this wisdom into her own life, which is kind of at the bottom of a long downward spiral right now... And here's my own comparative thinking trap: If I were a good Buddhist, and a rational being, I would not be conflicted about my own abilities, and my own past. (In short, I would not fall prey to the cognitive illusions and biases of depression).I think it's time for my medicine. I'm cracking up.
