2 Resources to Help Me Through Depression

A few days ago, I found the most valuable treasure to help me through the dark days.

And yesterday I found a book by Philip Martin called The Zen Path through Depression which tells me that it's ok to have depression.  It's an answer to my silent prayer.

I already feel presence and stillness.

Back in the Hole of Depression

I realise that I have slipped back into depression.  Each time I get into depression, I look for books to read.  This time, I got a book by Philip Martin, The Zen Path through Depression.  Philip writes the book with his own experience in depression.

I then read my diary about the time I attended a silent retreat at Maranatha House, Janda Baik, called Healing the Past.  I recall Father Philip telling us to forgive and forget, to go into ourselves and to make ourselves whole again.
