Depression and Accepting or Resisting Futility

[sillypumpkins]

Okay, thanks for the advice. Keep in mind it's been a while since I wrote that, and nowadays I am in a significantly better headspace than I was at that time. But your empathy and care are appreciated.

Glad to hear you are doing better. I didn't realize this was a resurrected thread at first and was worried.

There is a Jewish psychologist who survived Auschwitz who created logotherapy. I am wanting to read hos books but haven't had the chance yet. However I was listening to a local radio show and they brought up his view of depression. Which he said is caused by not living in alignment with your true self. I am sure there is more to it than that. But that quote really struck me.

Be well brother, I know you will go far on this journey.

just bought his book "mans search for meaning"..... thank you dtris
