That darned depression
Is it me, or is there a greater awareness around the issue of depression. As it becomes mainstreamed in the media, I get the sense that the world is listening, and it is high time we addressed all of the skeletons that lurk in our ensuite walk-in closets.
This is where the trouble is. I am not sure if there enough mental health professionals to take all of this on. I have had some wonderful opportunities to meet with some very insightful people, but there still seems to be a sort of disconnect. The relationship between mental health professionals and patients seem to be laden with protocol and I certainly get that. Given the sensitivity of our matters, the rules must be clear.
Notwithstanding global pandemics, I wonder why it is that the more I surround myself close and loved ones, the more lonely I become. Its like everyone that matters to me has just vanished. This is at the canter of all my issues. No matter where I am or who I’m with, I stand alone. Everyone else is nearby whispering something.
While the pros are helpful, it is CONNECTIONS that are missing. I tried to think of any one thing that has more value than the ties we invest our trust and loyalty to. In the end, the one who has the most connections win.
I wonder if it might be best to take a break from professionals, and try to locate a few kindred spirits who are taking the same journey??
I am so grateful for my dog. Maybe that is a subject for later…..
