I needed this talk. Flawed and fabulous was all I needed to hear. Thank you 🙏

It’s 4:20 am and my mind wasn’t letting go of suffering . So I grabbed insite timer on my phone. I searched ‘dysthymia’ and depression came up . I’ve studied the four Nobel truths and a Dharma teacher Phillip Moffit from Spirit Rock changed my life enough to keep going. So I chose your talk. I know your words are true. All the other teachers on Insite timer are true too but they all sound the same. I get it now. I’m going to close by saying you’ve helped me tonight. And I’ll keep climbing the next ridge and the next ridge. Tonight was just another episode of dysthymia . F You dysthymia. Love is the answer. Love Life. Goodnight and Thankyou.

Very soothing, authentic perspectives, thank you for sharing these with us!
