Thank you for listening! Let me know what you think.
As the title of today's show suggests, I am focusing this episode on how depression is experienced from the point of view of those who share their life with the chronically, long-termed depressed partner, parent, child or family member and come under fire from the missiles of silence, rejection, disinterest, passive/aggressiveness, self-absorption and more that the depressive volleys at the ones who are doing everything in their power to help and uplift the depressive. Your story and struggle are always swept under the rug and often overlooked as to how this experience is wearing you down on all levels. You want nothing more than to help your loved one overcome their depression because you deeply love them and want them to be happy. But there is also a futility, sadness, frustration and constant discouragement that leads to any number of physical ailments. You may even worry you are becoming depressed. But are you truly depressed? Or are you carrying depression for someone else through the entanglement with that person? Does distance from the depressive suddenly create a healthy shift in your energy field that is palpable and that reminds you of the life that you are not living because you are chained to the depressive’s prison cell? I’ll cover each of these questions and more in today’s episode.
