Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

My family thinks I’m depressed but I don’t feel depressed or suicidal or self-destructive. What could that be, energetically speaking?

—Not Depressed (United States)

DEAR N.D.:

If you don’t feel depressed, perhaps you are going through a cycle of energetically withdrawing from the world. Cycles like these are important from time to time to allow us to withdraw from structures and roles we’ve been engrained in, giving us the chance to detach from them and emerge with a clearer idea of who we truly are and what is most important to us.

If you start to feel depressed, do go see your doctor just in case something is going on.

If you are going through a withdrawal cycle, enjoy it and mine all the pieces of you that are buried. Enjoy the process of discovery!
