Feeling SAD.

When does life ever go exactly as planned? Even being psychic, there’s always some things I don’t see coming, even though in hindsight I always think I should of been more prepared.

Anyway, despite my earlier personal break through in regards to addressing the cognitive side of treating depression, becoming mindful, recognizing and taming my ego, ect ect, I discovered that although I had made this progression, I was not prepared for how I would be affected by the onset of our cold Melbourne winter! The winter blues had been an issue for me in the past but I think because I was on top of the world I had become slightly complacent in regards to the ongoing management of my depression.

SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder, is a type of depression that occurs in winter. It is believed to be caused by being exposed to reduced levels of sunlight in the winter months. I have considered myself a sufferer of SAD for years, even when I was a child. Winter isn’t my season! Which is strange because I was born in winter.

I have spent many an hour in bed during July, but the worst is definitely over now. I have made a few changes and are pushing forward with my personal health, career and life goals.

We have entered Leo season! It is my birthday this week and I can feel a sense of personal power setting in. Your birthday is the most powerful day of the year, it is when your personal energy and power is the strongest. The stars that make up the constellation of your star sign are directly behind the sun and if you tune into this energy, powerful shit can happen!

I wanted to provide an update in regards to my winter blues because I want to honor the reality of my situation. There are so many people around the world who are affected, both directly and indirectly by mental illnesses. Some are ashamed or embarrassed about being depressed and I used to be one of those people which is why it took me years to acknowledge that I was suffering. Depression (and the rest – bipolar, anxiety etc) should not be swept under the carpet and those who are enduring these challenges are in need of the most care and compassion from the rest of the community.

I want to bring depression out of the shadows. I don’t have any issues talking about my personal story. I am not ashamed, I am human! Maybe one day somebody will read this and have the courage to acknowledge that they’re depressed and take action get  themselves feeling happy and fulfilled. I can only hope.

Spiritually I am being very careful with my energetic boundaries because when I am feeling like this, I am much more vulnerable to having energy drained from me by certain people and places. Before I conduct any readings I am conscious about raising my vibration – it’s very important to be connected to your heart and the feeling of love, especially when you are talking to angels 🙂
