Mental health is such a topic these dsys; and rightly so.... Depression can come at you from many directions. I find the battle for my mind is one that always rages. So far the one thing I've found that helps me more than anything else is seeking out objective truth. I need to step away from personal feelings and find the truth that is outside of me, that doesn't change and that I can trust. This truth begins to stabilize my brain, my thoughtlife.  Then I can begin to find joy and peace from that stability that comes from outside of myself.
