[QUOTE="BlackSilver, post: 2572647, member: 22250"] My condolences about the passing of your brother, the passing of a loved one is never an easy thing to deal with. Life is about birth, living to your utmost, passing on your life’s energy to others, and then leaving this existence to the next plane. We will all follow that course. Your brother’s departure (not his passing) from the family was his choice. The ill feelings he might have left behind in your Dad should be a lesson to us all about the need to repair relationships to never leave things unsaid. Again, I am sorry for the passing of your brother. About your obvious signs of depression, that is its own battle, so many people are affected by it, so know that you are not alone. Unfortunately fighting depression is solo fight, most people that fight it can’t ask for help because they think that they are alone. You are not alone. Your true friends will seek you out with the passing of your brother and help you through this time, use this time to reaffirm and strengthen your relationship with them. Talk to them, tell them of your depression, and seek physical contact (a hug, hand shake, pat on the shoulder, etc.) from them and your family. This kind of contact will help your fight. Something else that helps with depression- open blinds and shades- you need more light, go to the park and watch kids laugh and play, make a schedule and stick to it, and last thing- if you can afford it try to get a massage, the movement of stalled energy will help you to feel better. Giving blood, volunteering at a shelter, or at a hospital can help you fight depression as well. I know it seems hard to think about things like this, but there is a part of you that wants out from under the weight of that depression (otherwise you would not have called out), use that part of yourself to do something positive.
