Well, I have to admit I thought a lot before starting this thread. To me it is not a real thread, these are just my thoughts... I have been going through some rough times, and I think I can say I was almost depressed; since I don't know what it is like to be depressed, I assumed some people feel worse than I do, but I can honestly say I was not far from reaching the bottom (and I know I'm not 100% good yet, but...) Now, this made me think a lot of all those who come to aeclectic. I've read many times people here talking about depression, suicide in the family, financial difficulties, social problems (because we read cards and think differently from others) and other topics of the kind. I have to say that I praise all of you out there who have passed through all those difficult situations, who were able to stood up, who faced their fear and moved along, who fighted for what they believe and especially for those who are still struggling with the bad things life "offers" us. All my blessing, my prayers and my heart are with you, my dear friends... may love, light and peace be with you Anjo

What a lovely post. And may the same blessings you have invoked for others be yours, as well.

{{{{((((anjocoxo))))}}}} nothing has helped me heal better than getting in touch with my spirituality. when i find myself struggling with depression, i try to remind myself that i haven't always felt this way, and i won't always feel this way. feeling down is also a part of 'becoming human'. it certainly teaches compassion! :) love, light and peace to you as well anjocoxo!

Blessings, Anjo :) You're such a sweet person, I'm so glad you're here with all of us.

Yes Anjo, it's good to have you here as well and thank you for telling us how you've been. I have been aware of you through the Personality/Soul and Year card threads but also through some of your other posts. It would be great to hear more from you ........and many blessings...

Hi Angocoxo, I hope things keep getting better for you; it been nice to meet you. I think you've said things here that will strike a cord with a lot of people. A.

My grandmother said to me once when I was going through a horrific period in my life, that "God never gives you more then you can handle". I'm not a christian, but it gave me faith in myself to overcome obstacles. Having gone through a depression years ago, and successfully treated, whenever things get really tough, I remember those words. Christian believer or not, I think it reminds us of our ability as humans to continue to grow and learn from life.

It strange...but I wasn't one for "chatting" (so to speak) on the net before I was lucky enough to find this place, and I know that I can share my most darkest times in here with you all and receive wonderful support, love and advice. I always feel 100% better after letting it all out in here..:) My thoughts are with you Anjo, and remember you are not alone, we are ALWAYS here..:) Cheers Kazz :TQC

It's sometimes a heavy ol' coat this human material we have to work with ... sometimes I feel mine is made of chainmail, LOL... and then sometimes it is made of feathers, and it just tickles me pink. But just think, the further down it weighs you, the more of a challenge it is to get back up again. When you get there you can say, YESSSSS. I survived that challenge, bring them all on :O) I hope you feel better soon Anjo *hands anjo a feather* Love allibee

Anjo... being able to see the good in others and to be thankful for them when feeling down demonstrates your strength in character... And yes, I'm w/zorya and Kazz: knowing that this too shall pass is very important, even if it doesn't feel that way! Stay strong...

{{{{{Anjo}}}}} what a beautiful sentiment!! may your blessings return to you tenfold!! (or even twenty, no thirtyfold!! :D) hope things improve for you soon... personally, my motto has always been "whatever does not kill me makes me stronger"...story of my life in fact... much love and many blessings, ~azure

anjocoxo	29 May 2003
Thank you all for your kind answers... I believe that the worse part as already passed by, and I'm starting to return to the things that make me happy: my love for life, my love for people and my love for cards... No matter how down you feel, there are always things that makes us feel better. You are really my friends and, more than ever, I'm very proud of being hear and feel truly blessed for knowing you Once again, all my love and friendship for you Anjo

Oh Anjo, it sounds like you're the one that needs some healing light, reverence, and peace inside your soul right now. It's so sweet to hear you wishing others well, when really it's you that needs to hear these words. Love, light, and peace within your soul be with you hon through these hard times that you are facing. If you feel like posting more about what it is that is troubling you, I'm sure you'll find many willing to listen, support, and offer up their best words of advice to you. I can respect your will to be silent at the moment too. Either way, I'm sending light to you. peace.
