I'd like to start looking into naturopathic/yoga/artistic solutions to extreme depression.
The most I've felt empowered is reading Krishnamurti: that your anxiety shows everyone's anxiety.
The whole "journey" archetype: going through struggles in order to become stronger. The hardest thing in my life is the panic and immobility I get from sadness, loneliness, and anxiousness. The feeling that I want to die, that I hate myself, that there's so many bigger, better things I could be doing, that I don't appreciate my life, that nobody loves me, that I'm a burden on everybody.
I used to have an eating disorder, and now I have this. I believe that I can change, and that I'm learning to use tools in order to change.
I've been thinking about this for my thesis project, about creating spaces for students (artistic or otherwise) where we use tools in order to heal these people and make them powerful members of the world. I can't travel, I can't make art, I can't make a family, I can't make friends, until I step through this hoop, too.
