Eagle Born to Fly: Finding Life Beyond
Depression by Sharon C. Matthies
Price $15.00 >> 
Part 4 - Relapse and Rebound
Blankets
This "blanket dream" happened during one particularly
rough stretch of days a few weeks after I left my job. The adrenaline
had run out, the numbness of losing Mom had worn off, the downward
spiral into another debilitating depression was well underway and
the agony of absence was scraping its jagged edges across my heart.
Dr. Qadeer and I had already begun the precarious trek through my
inner wreckage, but I was struggling during the in-between times
to keep my overwhelming neediness confined to that one-hour-a-week
session.
It’s difficult to budget one’s anguish and brokenness
when grief, exhaustion and depression drain you of every morsel
of energy, and threaten to swallow you deep into the dark chaos
with every weary breath.
One dreary afternoon, while trying to stop crying long enough to
take a much-needed nap, I was desperately searching my heart and
soul to find some way, some magic mantra or word of wisdom to help
stem the waves of miserable sadness that had been relentlessly washing
over me.
