James: The wheels have come off. ‘I’ am depressed. I need to keep my hands in my pockets and ride this out.
Hi @James,
Alternatively you can look for the trigger which caused you to be depressed. It may just be a habitual reaction which you could easily decline to obey any longer.
Additionally you can do whatever works for you to get back to feeling good and then look closer at the trigger so that it won’t entrap you again. You are your feelings, hence those feelings are not able to dictate how you experience this moment unless you allow it.
Also you can remember the 2 takeaways which got you back to feeling excellent a month ago –
James: Another thing I noticed during this experience was that I was the experience of what was happening. I didn’t stop to analyze what was happening.
I don’t think this experience is gone although I am talking about it in past tense. I was still the experience of what was happening on my drug store run and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I have two takeaways: 1) There is no inner world and outer world. There is only the actual world. 2) I am the experience of what is happening. (link)
