Yesterday, when I saw a place I used to love to go to, and it was now unavailable, I burst into tears. I didn't expect to - but I knew that I was depressed, and feeling grief. Then this morning I read that collectively we have made a huge shift in the last week, becoming more depressed as the gung-ho determination was giving way to more sober long-term realities.
When a friend said she was depressed, and I needed to hear it, share it - and found myself sobbing with her - I realized how much I needed that. Maybe you do, too. It felt good to cry with her, to share my grief and pain and loss.
She said, "I just can't be positive right now," and I knew what she meant. One of my gurus - Kim Vincent - had just shared owning our feelings, and listening to them.
There's a time to be positive, and feel rationally that things will be better and hold onto the faith. But there's also the moment to acknowledge the pain, to not push it away, to say: "It hurts right now."
Because it hurts RIGHT NOW.
I'm with you.
