LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 60 (April 12, 2007) Psychiatrist Harold Koenig, in his book, New Light on Depression, wrote: “Love – unconditional love – is the ultimate long-term antidote for depression, for at its core love is connected with faith and hope.” I’ve liked that statement ever since I first read it. I have found out […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 59 (April 9, 2007) Going through the endless ups and downs I’ve been experiencing lately I have come to, once more, realize what a powerful effect our moods have on our lives. I’ve only had several black days but many rather down days. My current life is painting quite a clear picture […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 58 (April 4, 2007) It seems as if every experience with episodes is unique. I don’t think I’ve ever had the kinds of ups and downs I have had recently. I go from a normal state one day to being stuck in a dark pit the next. Don’t know what to make […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 57 (April 1, 2007) I’ve been feeling very subdued – spiritual – looking for something good, something creative to bring forth from the unbalanced times I’m going through. I want to learn from what I’m experiencing, something of value that I can share with others. This is all I feel up to […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 56 (March 28, 2007) Although the last couple of days were a struggle, today began well and continues to go well. I had my company and we had a good time talking about our lives. She did her cross-stitching while I knitted a dishcloth. There is something very natural and comfortable about […]

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 54 (March 24, 2007) Living Room was wonderful yesterday – fifteen in attendance, including Vicki Rogers, Educational Director for the Mood Disorders Association of BC. She told us about MDA’s interesting history – an inspiring story. I told my story about how lighting my metaphorical candle is helping me cope with my […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 53 (March 21, 2007) Monday was a dark day, mostly spent in bed. But yesterday morning, though it started out dark, I was able to ignite a spark in that darkness. This small spark led to a good day. I needed to go to Costco to buy some things and thought of […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 52 (March 11, 2007) Thank God, I did pull out of that two-week down time! I was so worried it was the beginning of something big, but it was just another little blip. At times like this, I wonder though: how much of my surfacing back to the stable old me was […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 51 (March 6, 2007) First of all, I want to tell you I’m not doing badly. Not good, but not badly either. In my last post I raised the topic of waiting – waiting for depression to lift. Although I love the Bible and try to live by it, it does in […]
