Does anyone else here feel that after coming out of a depression, they need to start from scratch, spiritually and in other ways? Throughout my recent depression I prayed everyday and read the Bible a bit when I could focus on it, but now that the depression broke, I feel like I lost some of the work I had been doing spritually. For example, previous to the depression, I had been working specifically on meditating on arrogance -- trying to see it in others and myself and clear myself of it. I was also working hard to see Jesus in every person, and it was definatley becoming part of my consciousness. Now I feel like I have lost any work I had done in those area and need to start from scratch.
I don't feel further away from God, luckily, and I think that praying everyday helped me keep that closeness. But the more intellectual disciplines feel lost.
