I was also moved by Group Beyond Blue member Safehaven’s response to Mali66′s journal entry. Safehaven writes: 

Dear One, 

Trying to “take in” the whole picture can be very frightening.

 I know from experience. 

You feel as though the weight of the world is upon you, and you can barely breathe, let along function. 

I have learned to take one day at a time. 

Live that day as fully as I can and thank my Abba God for the joys, and ask His forgiveness for the mis-steps.
You may not feel His presence all the time, or hear His still, small voice, but, trust that He is with you always, and is eagerly waiting for you to call to Him. His hands are always outstretched and His arms are always there for you to lean upon. 

He loves you dearly. 

Take His hand, lean on His arm. 

Accept His wonderful love pouring out toward you this very moment. 

You will make your Abba so very happy.

 And you will feel happy, too. 

He knows what is best for you. He desires only the best for His children.
Rest in His arms and in His love, my sister.
He is our Safehaven. 

My love to you and my prayers.

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

The Treasures of Darkness
We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C
