At a metaphysical level, depression is understood to be the signal that a part of the ego has surrendered. As we lose a part of our ego, we lose part of our self-identity. In so doing, we frequently feel the loss of control in our lives, to a degree, as we struggle with our new perceptions of self-identity. It is not always easy, but it is only temporary. When we relax into getting to know ourselves again, we find the depression fading and a new Strength coming into focus. Always be kind and gentle with yourself, and with others, when you are moving through the cycles of depression. They are a natural part of Life.
