Numb to the feeling

When I first felt depression 
I thought I was just really sad
And I cried a lot
Because I was sad

When I noticed depression again 
I thought I was just really sad, again 
So I cried it off
Because I was sad

When I realized the depression didn’t leave 
I thought, I must be very sad then
So I cried every day and night 
Because I was sad

Then I knew depression would never leave 
I knew that i’m not just very sad
And I barely even cried anymore 
Because I got numb to the feeling 

I knew the depression is mine
My depression made me sad
But it also stopped me from crying 
Because I got numb to the feeling

When any heart contraction arises, we can look at it noticing that it is felt by mind-body, which no doubt we ensoul but which we are not. Witnessing thus in nonchalance, we cease feeding the vibration that appeared in our awareness. In time, all such negativity disappears. Having said that, it’s best to consult a doctor in case it relates to hormones ~ prolactin or some other. Meditation always helps.
