Thanks to reader Teresa who wrote the following question on my “Dear Guardian Angel One” post: I don’t wish to offend, when I say that Guardian Angel One sounds a bit controlling to me. I might add, it must be difficult being discussed in someone’s blog, for all to see and comment on. How does…

I’m not quite sure how to thank all my Beyond Blue readers for the loving and compassionate notes on the message board of my “Is It a Relapse?” post. I’m blown away by your support and kindness. I usually write my Beyond Blue posts a week in advance in case I have a bad day…

Last visit, Dr. Smith gave me strict orders to chill out more. So that’s what I’m doing today–trying to, at least. I will be back tomorrow!

I found this article, “Day of Rest, Posture of Rest” by Diane Bloomfield an interesting read. Excerpted from her book “Torah Yoga,” she believes that both Shabbat and yoga teach us the art of relaxing and restoring ourselves. To read the entire article click here.

Speaking of rest and relaxation, depressives need to watch very carefully for symptoms of anemia because it can seriously undermine your quality of life.
