Message: <blockquote data-quote="JayJaySattva" data-source="post: 28704" data-attributes="member: 147">What happens with depression is that I lose the capacity to feel, and for me, feeling is very important since by feeling meditation it is how I can fight pain, fear, shame, sadness, but when I'm depressed I can't feel anything, so there's nothing to fight. It seems depression is fought not directly, but indirectly: Loving kindness meditation. I started remembering and meditating on giving love to those things and people which I hold dear, and the depression started dissapearing slowly.I meditated too on self-love and self-compassion.</blockquote>
