Thank you for your healthfull work. I was about 8 month without any meds (bipolar I disorder) and although without Lithium. Now Valproat is a bridge but in a few month it will not be nearly necessary. Be kind of you because you look a little bit signed! 🙏🧘🏼♂️🐇☘️🌤️
Depression and grief are definitely not the same thing,I'd say that depression in many ways is stifled grief.Yes,I think grief is something we avoid alot in "the west",we have very few rituals for it where others in the community would help those who had lost a loved one or certain ceremonies were done such as wailers or wakes like they had in Ireland.People were employed to help others cry and get the emotions out.In many countries,especially non western I think they have a lot less problems with strong emotions generally.We just don't seem to have the rituals and way of holding it that maybe we once had when we lived in more connected communities.I think "holding it together"has been pried alot in western culture but I don't think thats strength,I think it just cuts us off alot from life force.I lived in other countries where life generally felt more alive and vital and I am sure one of those factors is the fact people do not hold in their emotions so much and restrict themselves.I agree grieving circles would be good and ceremonies. Everything seems ultra intense right now especially this year coming out of covid because I am feeling which way will we go now ? are we gonna take the steps now to change our ways and our economy and start doing everything possible to build an economy and society that is is step with the environment or are we going to continue business as normal ? I think this particular time is a real tipping point..which way do we go now ? what are the choices we are going to make ? I don't think this is down anymore for each of us as individuals to make this or that choice as far as what we buy and so on,I think it is going to take large scale collective action such as the like of Extinction Rebellion.We also need an activism which includes that emotional support and opportunities for grieving and release.So many past activist groups did not have much emotional intelligence and I still worry that maybe we are not too good at this kind of genuine inquiry and reflection with others,So many of us have retreated to our aloneness because I think we feel unseen or unheld in many groups.I think we have alot of work to do to create strong enough circles and communities that can withstand all of this..there are alot of casualties I think and will be many many more.
Yes, I agree fully with you. Times are INTENSE and we need to honor our emotions through this to avoid burnout and not get stuck in just reactive states. And yes, I agree depression can be stifled grief. 💯✨
