The 'feeling' is well known here <grin>. But i think others just

want to help... observed suffering is a call to action, wherever it

may be observed... "here" or "there" -- all the same "place."

Hi Tim:Thanks for your thoughts.I will allow them to roll around with

all the others until one daythey all drop away and are seen asthe

imaginary vehicles they are.As far as my body symptons are

concerned,I am lucky compared to some. There are manymany people who

suffer physically much more thanI and my little suffering allows me to

have compassionfor them. Instead of trying to fix them and lifeI can

now just live my part of it the best I can.Funny thing about sharing

your experiences on listslike these. Seems everyone but myself knows

the answerto all my lifes problems and from just a few emailsscattered

here and there. The mind likes to solve problems and will jump at

theopportunity to do so.Namaste,MichaelDear Michael,

 

With all due respect, Michael, you asked questions about anxiety and

depression and solicited advice from the list members.

Furthermore, the opinions you gave about depression were in general misinformed.

Most people actually did advise you to seek professional help for an

accurate diagnosis, rather than diagnosing you by email. When people

here go out of their way to share information from their own

experience, with the intent to be helpful, what more can anyone do

via email? It was very touching how many wanted to reach out to you.

 

If your symptoms are so manageable, why did you ask?

 

Love,

Gloria
