Getting Started
Two words, two simple words uttered millions of times in a life time, that could mean ‘making a move’, ‘taking action’, ‘starting off’ - whatever, but for me this Blog and those two words have been the biggest challenge I have faced in a very long time. Leaving my salaried job, selling my house, packing up and moving, on my own, all of this was easier than getting started on this Blog – my very first. So what is so hard about writing something, anything? I could make it light, clever, even funny.
I believe that the challenge is all about self-exposure, because this Blog is about depression, about living well with depression, and about launching the Facebook book page Living Well with Depression. For a long time I have wanted to work with people for whom depression is an experience they live with every day, and an experience I lived with daily for 10 years. The driving force to finally get words on a page is the passion I feel to assist those who want support in their daily lives to see that there are others to share the journey with. Depression is lonely and isolating.
The Facebook page, there is an open page, and a Closed Group page for ongoing group support, is there for you, to make contact, to find inspiration, learn about Workshops I am running , and in time, to build an online community of small groups of member to meet online for regular ongoing support.
So finally – I have started. Phew!
