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.

How to Get Unstuck
Brain hiccups. We all get a case of them now and then. For some they are fleeting and all a person has to do is to take a deep breath, visualize their departure, and poof! They’re gone. Not so easy for the rest of us. If I counted up the moments I spent trying to escape the broken record of my tho

Therapy Notes: Give Amy a Bottle
From my therapy notebook: I now know who to blame for my feelings of panic and anxiety … Amy. It’s all her fault. That’s what I call my amygdala, the delinquent cluster of neurons in the limbic system considered by most neurobiologists as the fear center of the human body, like the �

8 Ways to Overcome Envy
I know that the fastest way to despair is by comparing one's insides with another's outsides, and that Max Ehrmann, the author of the classic poem "Desiderata," was absolutely correct when he said that if you compare yourself with others you become either vain or bitter, or, as Helen Keller put it:
