Learning from Depression

We can be neither evasive of the mystery nor invasive of the pain if we want to get through depression.

When we go through depression we must sit in its misery even when we long to run from its darkness.

The Greeks saw depression as a visitor who brought us a gift if we’re willing to entertain that visitor and not reject him or her.
Rejecting that visitor only makes him or her stay longer.
