Celebrate Come On: We Are Still Here!

 

During the pandemic, we have experienced many divine moments.  We responded to our neighbors through delivered meals, cards, emails, calls, texts, visits, prayers, hugs, tears, and laughter.  We survived race riots, insurrection, a challenging election cycle, social distancing, masking, and isolation. We felt emotions of joy, anger, sadness, gladness, regret, guilt, frustration, envy, and delight.  As we reflect on the joyful and less than joyful historic moments, I just want you to remember the alms received by your family. For our diligence we receive love, comfort, covering and favor.

Watch Out for Depression

                                              Introjective depression occurs when a person feels that they have failed to meet their own standards or the standards of important others and that therefore they are failures.  Introjective depression arises from a harsh, unrelenting, highly critical superego that creates feelings of worthlessness, guilt and a sense of having failure.  A person with this depression experiences intense fears of losing approval, recognition and love from a desired object.  Source: National Institute of Health; Huffington Post
