It reminds me of the saying that you can be more lonely being with some people than without....
Glad you're back, Miss.

Walking with your dog certainly to me isnt being alone...animals are wonderful company...selfless, unconditional love......
I am not sure what Helen really meant, but given her circumstances I have a fair idea.
For me this was a reminder of how I cut off all of my friends when my depression was deepest and was literally walking alone in the dark when I neednt have.
I have so many different voices chattering away in my head that I am never truly alone..if that makes sense?
This quote also reminded me of part of the song ...You'll never walk alone...which if I remember correctly was about having religious faith...
I'm glad to be back ..........X

It is a relief to be back from depression isn't it? IAnd that is putting it extremely mildly isn't it? 'm glad it is becoming less for you. Do you have more people around you now? Understanding friends? I know I retreat too when I feel that way.It's very hard not to.
I am so glad that my darker days are becoming less and less but it takes work. Yes I agree:
Sometimes I wake up deflated from a rotten night's sleep and I force myself to take Fergs for a walk (after my morning cuppa and Orble session). The mixture of watching his happiness and adventurous nature at being in a place where he can explore is contagious. It is a rare day that taking him for a walk is a chore that only puts a mild smile on my face and I'm really only doing it for him-whereas the walks are usually for us both and causes great joy.
This statement made much sense:
At times I feel the same, the voices are unrelentingly telling me 'my faults'. Words that have hurt in the past fly through my head too often. That's another reason I walk whenever possible. It puts me in touch with the world and I can usually see some encouraging beauty. It's kind of like a jump-start to the soul.
Thank-you for your words, best wishes to you, Miss. You are a wise soul.

For me...it has just taken me a long time to accept that depression is part of me..and embrace it for what it is, just another part of the journey..not the destination..
Everything in my life was just so...bland..isnt the right word but will give you the idea..Its almost as though I needed to experience the black hole in order to be able to appreciate and be grateful for what I actually already had. I have the same friends...its just how I look at them and accept them for who they are as well.
Thank you so much for sharing with me...
