Some Doors Only Open From the Inside
From a whole mess to wholeness
Have you ever been adrift in a sea of sadness feeling so lost you didn’t think you’d ever find your way home?
That was me up until a few years ago.
I’d grappled with a shadowy sadness, a sort of low-level depression throughout my entire life. When I was a child, I didn’t know it wasn’t normal to experience anxiety every day. I just assumed everyone felt the same way I did.
Like many others, my internal struggles stemmed from early childhood issues and persisted throughout my 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and even into my fifth decade.
Over the years, I overcame these feelings temporarily by distracting myself with various activities and pursuits such as traveling for work, socializing, cocktailing, and cajoling myself into a false sense of “if I feel good now, everything’s okay, right?
Wrong.
