I discovered an amazing thing today. A good lesson to learn.
I've been feeling a lot of sadness lately because of some things I'm dealing with. Some of this sadness brings with it anxiety and fear. Fortunately I was able to get into an anxiety therapy group.
This morning I was waiting for the group to begin, talking to a lady sitting next to me. The things we were discussing made her cry (I didn't hurt her, honest). I myself had been feeling like crying all morning too. I stroked her back in an effort to comfort her. And you know, as I comforted her, I felt myself being comforted at the same time.
Truly amazing to think that we can help ourselves in this way.
I've so often "preached" how you can help your depression by thinking of others. And here, this proved it.
