Life bites sometimes! I am the mother of a teenage son that has bouts with anxiety and depression. Yikes!! How do I help him? How is he doing today? So many unknowns. Worries about things I can’t control. Some days, it hangs over both of us like a black cloud.
So this is my, and our journey in, through and over the daily events, joys, struggles, wins and losses, in taking the masks off, facing the realities and finding answers about how life works in the process.
What can you expect here? Affirmations to help you know that you aren’t alone, sharing every piece of information that I have found useful to either my son, myself, or others with anxiety and depression issues. Not everyone with anxiety and depression has the exact same issue going on. Different brain wiring! To read more about this, check out the books and YouTube videos by Doctor Daniel Amen. Narrowing down what is happening in your unique situation is important. Real life experiences, of making it through a day, of looking toward the future from my point of view and from my son’s. A chance to share.
As I talk about my circumstances, and read and learn about the issues we face, I find that we are one family among many. You that are also facing similar circumstances have your experiences to share. All the victories, all the helpful remedies, every piece of helpful advice, we want to hear it all from you and share it! Every person that is helped to live with a little more joy adds to the ripple in the pond. We are casting a stone. Sending waves of knowledge, shared experience and victories. We are all a part of the whole, lifting each other up! We are on a journey, an upward spiral! Moving from wherever we are today toward, peace, joyfulness and a unique expression of our best selves! Celebrating life, inviting in more JOY! Living fully, becoming more whole!
