Depression Quiz - Doing and Being

by Lisa
(Charleston)

I hear "just let it be" and "be a human being, not a human doing" and "let go and let god". Then I hear, "make it happen" and I can't remember them all, the "motivation" things.

I get so confused and sick of it. Sometimes I just want to give up, just plod thru life, doing the job, cleaning the house, fixing the car, on and on and on. who CARES. then someone gets cancer and they suffer so much, and everything they own gets wiped out. Everything just gets wiped out anyway. Dreams. right. who cares.

The truth that everything eventually ends is what gives joy and meaning and appreciation to what ever it is we DO have or experience now. Otherwise, we'd just take it for granted, and even get bored with it.

As far as dreams go...if you are following your dream because you love it, for no "reason" other than you enjoy it, then no moment is wasted. And those kinds of dreams ARE about Being. Being in a state of love, of over flow. Of gladness to be alive. When you are "doing or being" what you love just because you love it, then you HAVE let go and let god.

with love

 Depression Quiz: to Lisa from Charleston
by: 3boysmom

You took the words out of my mouth. I have thought the exact same things, IE what's really the point; which is it: go and do or reflect and BE, and where's the line?
It's funny because some people almost boast that they are/were "workaholics"---but then they just shift the busyness to another arena ...but anyway, I've just never been able to get out of my own way, seemingly ending up in areas that have been toxic. (root:fear of abandonment. So many counselors, so many attempts at being at peace about what IS. Now my health is severely compromised and I've stuck out a marriage for over 25 yrs to someone that I barely can stand. I have no family around here, no support...but then that's what abandonment tells me.

I am convinced more than ever that it is CONNECTION to others and in service to others that we get free. Yet where/how to start....I have created an environment where I am depended upon by 4 people and feel trapped....enough now, I guess.
