But, actually, I don't mind. Feeling sad is better than feeling nothing at all, which is what it is like to be depressed--numb to all emotions.
So, today I am thankful to be able to feel sad.
I know--that sounds weird. But it is true. It doesn't mean I want to keep feeling sad. It just means I am for now a little sad.
"Feeling sad is better than feeling nothing at all, which is what it is like to be depressed--numb to all emotions." I can so identify! Went through a long period of depression at one point--now I'm happy to be sad sometimes. Actually, I'm rarely sad now that I'm a mother. My negative emotion of choice is now irritation and grumbling :) Oh, how we need Jesus at every stage of life and in every emotional state! God bless.
