Trying


It's hard to fix something if I don't know what is wrong.

Treating a broken bone with a band aid or a skinned knee with cod liver oil is about as pointless as pretending depression comes from outside of us.

The right medicine isn't always something you can smear on, or swallow down. In fact, swallowing feelings can be one of the things that causes problems.

Finding out what is wrong would seem to be the only answer. And yet . . .

Sometimes it is necessary to approach a problem from the opposite side.

If I can't tell what is making me sad, maybe I should try to find out what would make me happier.
