We understand only too well how difficult depression can be. For me I must anchor myself outside the deep abyss. Old Man Depression plays awful tricks on our psyches so my thought is we should play some clever tricks right back. No one should be a trapped prisoner within oneself. We all can make a metaphorical prison break and start anew. I keep telling myself: Despair not/REPAIR a lot. Oscar

You're welcome. I would just say to pay attention to your "sinking" metaphor. You could be telling yourself to metaphorically let go of excess emotional baggage. This is an example of being clever with metaphors. My motto: Despair not/REPAIR a lot.

Welcome new friend to our forum family. Our goal is to not leave anyone behind in their deep, dark, dangerous depression cave. Don't worry about making sense. We are all dealing with varying degrees of depression. My approach is to invoke clever and powerful metaphors or as I like to call them: MEDaphors. Anyway welcome again and keep posting your concerns. We will do our best to help you. Oscar

The happiness dividend is available to all of us if we can unlock it with clever and powerful metaphorical keys.

Absolutely!

It doesn't sound dumb. You have self doubt. We all do more or less. Just being yourself is an accomplishment. Don't listen to the lies Old Man Depression is constantly telling you. My motto: Despair not, REPAIR a lot. Oscar

Welcome new friend to our forum family. Glad you chose us. We all have unique perspectives on depression. My experience reveals the metaphorical nature of depression. I invoke a cave metaphor which has helped me find the way out of the deep, dark dangerous abyss. I experience depression as a natural formation/RESOURCE. Metaphors can be ever so clever and powerful to counteract the debilitating effects of depression. Please make yourself at home here and check out some other posts. We all try to help each other as best we can. Oscar
