Re: Getting started but feel worse

Thanks, ONE Deeper Peace.
It does sound beautiful and simple, but I feel like my mind is still holding on so much...

Re: Meditating my way out of depression - part 2

Hi Niccy, I can totally relate to your posts as I am also dealing with an episode of depression right now.

Getting started but feel worse

Hi everybody, new to this site, and also new to mindfulness. I have struggled with depression since I am 26 (33 now) ever since I had a major life event going on. I felt like I never recovered properly, but was doing ok for years. Then it all caught up with me in 2011 and I finally went to a psychia...
