Sometimes I find, as ironic as it sounds, the anxiety over having anxiety can often times be worse than the initial anxiety....wow that sounds strange and I am the one who wrote it, I can only imagine how crazy it must sound to anyone who reads it! ha! Anyhow, I have found some relief, or am on a path leading to more relief, via spirituality. i do not mean that I am a person who preaches the Bible to everyone I meet or am out warning people of the second coming etc.. (no disrespect to those who do this)...I have somewhat of a blending of general spirituality and religious spirituality. I really have found some peace and comfort from knowing "this is not it." As you stated, I do not enjoy my life much either. I think I am wasting much of my life being depressed and trying to avoid anxiety. I have done, and am still doing, the therapy route however I do not find much help. I've done my bout with drugs (percocet/oxycontin) to try to find happiness....I am over 7 years clean from that stunt which really did a number on me...but in the end found no relief there either. Reading and learning about spirituality, the "other side," Jesus, ghosts, near death experiences, etc. has given me the most relief thus far and I hope it continues to do so in greater ways. I agree, as you stated, we are all different, and maybe this sort of thing will not help you as it helps me but then again maybe it will. If not I hope you do find something that will give you some form of peace. I know first hand how horrible anxiety and depression are. If you ever want to chat respond here and I will give you my email address. Maybe we can be a source of peace to each other in some strange way :) Then again you may never come back to this website and wont even see this. Whatever you choose, whatever happens, I wish you the best and hope you can find some way to bring happiness and peace to your life.

It was a positive message and I do admire your passion for the world's transformation. I especially was moved by your last line:"It really is a wonderful time to be alive, isn't it!" That really spoke to me.Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756067140902017313.post-11675114858192014532012-04-18T12:49:01.071-07:002012-04-18T12:49:01.071-07:00Interesting article Roy.

I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for literally my entire life (it's basically a genetic condition) and I was personally hoping for the world to end in 2012...haha. But yeah, I don't think there is anything wrong with not being spiritual or having gratitude. Everyone is different, just because you are spiritual and grateful doesn't mean much - especially if you don't really enjoy your life. But I digress, interesting new age thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-756067140902017313.post-91590881585512769072012-04-02T09:07:29.133-07:002012-04-02T09:07:29.133-07:00Well Said Roy.
