    Hello Anita and Kumar,

    Thank you for your replies.

    I get depressed about my obsessive thoughts, my longing for a relationship, my lack of career growth, what others think of me, my weight, my inability to fully be an adult without bouts of much needed emotional support from my parents, difficulties making decisions and the fear of where my future is going.

    I haven’t felt this bad in a long, long time. I went to a Buddhist Temple today for a teaching… They talked about the importance of having no attachment to anything and finding inner peace, but this sounds scary and nearly impossible. Those feelings end up making me feel even lower because I begin to feel guilty about the possibility that I might not be able to change my life.

    I feel stuck and scared. I want to strengthen my ability to observe my thoughts instead of reacting to them. My patience is wearing thin, though. I’m worried about going back to work and functioning. I have so much worry eating me up, that I’m unsure what I can do.

    I have moments where I feel great and normal, but then it seems like they slip away and the bad feelings creep back.

    Victoria
