Since I have no talent in that area maybe I should have a blog. You do it so well.

Came across your blog through a link and another link.<br /><br />Struck by your openness and depth of the post.<br /><br />I wish you all the best in the period to come. And fear: it's just that - I have a severe case of vertigo so I know a little bit about it (was even a bit feared by talking about tops and slopes - no, kidding now).<br /><br />Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-8632756964208736012011-11-17T07:09:49.085-06:002011-11-17T07:09:49.085-06:00I truly, truly thank you for the therapy session I...I truly, truly thank you for the therapy session I have been needing for awhile now. I am going to try to learn from it and stop being paralyzed from doing so many things I want to do. I truly, truly am blessed to have you in my life. Love you!

I guess it's time that I quit blaming my down mood on the problems in the world and start thinking about how to get my arse in gear and get things done.

I can relate to much of what you've said and I found it very moving to read it. The fears that I have seem trivial to other people, but I can get myself in quite a state over them. I draw strength from appreciating that many many many of need to manage our own 'dragons' and downhill slopes.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />MeganMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143400920174171516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-27343792017967840032011-11-16T22:12:34.489-06:002011-11-16T22:12:34.489-06:00You are such a brave and wise man, Lane.

I've mentioned it before, but I admire your introspection - you are so deep and unafraid to really look at yourself with a critical eye. I'm sorry to hear you've been heading downhill, but I'm glad to hear that you'll be going to chat with the boss. Take care, you!Vesuviusmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447649002367621196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-31615752531704571582011-11-16T21:51:25.435-06:002011-11-16T21:51:25.435-06:00When I have times like this, I force my way back o...When I have times like this, I force my way back onto the path up the same way you're doing it-- with logic, and deliberation. It's a good idea to talk to your boss, my guess is that he/she sees you as being resourceful and flexible. One thing I do that works (over time, it takes a few weeks) is to make myself write down five things I'm grateful for each day. Pretty soon, it turns you around to looking at things with a better attitude, even if all you've got is, "I'm still breathing" and "No one is shooting at me."lwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-31098805016604949572011-11-16T21:38:27.921-06:002011-11-16T21:38:27.921-06:00I am right there with you on that slope.

Too bad life does not come with a manual to refer too when it gets tough....or at least challenging. Keeping you in my thoughts always! You are not alone!Coloradoladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312809532968928183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-53612914179020219422011-11-16T16:05:57.265-06:002011-11-16T16:05:57.265-06:00I know how hard it is to go and work on a project ...I know how hard it is to go and work on a project and then try and fit back in - what if there is no job left there. What if I don't want it. <br />Its one of the big problems with projects, you get a chance to stretch yourself more and learn new skills but you usually get a lot more pressure, crappy hours and the uncertainty of what happens when its over. <br />Talk it out with your boss - it the best option. Good luck.Shevvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597474715523695213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-38886598675395522922011-11-16T16:03:50.501-06:002011-11-16T16:03:50.501-06:00You have expressed a lot of what I have felt this ...You have expressed a lot of what I have felt this fall. Our root issues aren't the same, but wow, you phrased the same feelings and process of getting there better than I have. I think it will help me explain how I have felt to my husband better. <br /><br />Thank you for writing it out. I know writing is cathartic in it's own right, but know that it will also help others to read it.Seraphinalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706215125457113080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259952795997957550.post-22646490991583291682011-11-16T15:35:23.053-06:002011-11-16T15:35:23.053-06:00Depression is a tough road.
