    When you are at your lowest point, like, rock bottom, what helps you up? (besides medication!)

    dear Rivkah,
    I was recently made aware of your blog and I read it with admiration how you overcame your obstacles and how honest and in touch you are with all your emotions.
    What bothers me deeply is that I was in your school class and yet never knew - sat together in the same class but wasn't aware of your suffering.
    i am so sorry for your pain and wished I could have been there to help.
    with lots of guilt

      Hi there, I wish I knew who you were so we could be back in touch! I am glad that you found this and even more glad that you took the time to write to me.
      Please don't feel guilty, as I have said before in my blog, I had no idea what was going on inside me, so how could anyone else have known? Seriously, I think at that point I was in my own little world. I don't think anyone could have helped me in that head space. You should never feel guilty! Thankfully things are so much better now and I have had experiences that have really helped me understand life and people. Everything happens for a reason. Something I have to keep reminding myself over and over again! Would be great if you could email me and we can get back in touch! Xxx

On therapy and therapists Part I

It feels like an age since I last wrote on here though it has only been three days. I kind of miss not writing every day but I must admit I do not have the emotional capacity to do so! A lot of things have come up in the past few days, yet I have still felt this strange emptiness.  The feeling that I have opened myself up to the world and have nothing left to give.  It scares me.  However, given the amount of talking I managed to do in therapy today I see that me running dry of thoughts and words is a highly unlikely phenomena -  in the near future at least! Therapy.  I haven't really spoken much about therapy and the people who have helped me get to where I am. I don't think this is the appropriate place to write anything in specific detail, but I suppose a brief understanding of what has helped me in a therapist/client relationship may help others to see what could make therapy work for them. I think I should start off with a confession. ...

Another day, another post...

My pledge to put this on Facebook has been placed on hold for the moment.  For now I am just going to send it to at least one person every day.  Slowly but surely I will conquer the world! Seriously it is getting easier though.  I haven's lost anyone as of yet.  If anything it has drawn me closer to the people I know.  And for that I am thankful.  Not just for that, but for all I have gone through in my life. Nothing happens without reason.  I may not have seen that 2 years ago, or even 6 months ago, but with hindsight I can see and appreciate the path my life has taken.  I often wonder what my life would have been without depression.  Where would I be now?  Would I be married? Would I have children? Would I have my career as a top lawyer set out for me?  I used to compare myself to the world around me and see how far behind I was.  Everyone seemed to be moving on and I was stuck in a little hole.  The probl...

Love thy neighbour

So exhausted, but desperate to post. So much on my mind and need to spill some out on here. I take no responsibility for anything I say after 2230 generally as I turn into a pumpkin; but I'll make an exception tonight! Anyway, something I have been wondering about for a while now and would love to hear what you think!   My query is about a phrase in Vayikra (Leviticus 19:18) (also sung by the Yeshiva Boys Choir!). "והבתה לרעך כמוך" [Veohavta lerayacha kemocha] - "Love thy neighbour as thyself" The translation of this sentence is self explanatory. We must love our 'neighbour' (not to be taken literally of course; dependent on where you live or how much noise they make) as we love ourselves. The implication of this is that we love ourselves. For if we do not love ourselves, how can we do this for others. In effect, by filling ourselves with a sense of hatred, harming ourselves in some way or by not caring for ourselves, we are in turn en...
