A Depressive With a Megaphone

About 6 weeks ago I started a City & Guilds teaching course. After 6 weeks I quit due to excessive bureaucracy. Here is the email I sent to my tutor, City and Guilds and the education minister in the UK. It is totally authentic and probably very rude and out of order. However this is TOTALLY how I feel so I feel I have a right to express my truth. Notice I say MY truth. Other people might disagree and that is OK. This is just MY take on MY current reality: Hi [NOTE: I have forwarded this to my tutor, City and Guilds feedback email, and the education minister]. I was recently doing a City and Guilds course entitled PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Sector). I decided to quit today however because I discovered that the course was mainly (probably 95%) about legislation (e.g. health and safety, equality, assessment), and only about 5% of the course was about learning to actually teach. Not EVERYONE wants to go and teach for a college or schoo...

Emotions and feeling are messages from our true self. If we stand on broken glass, we get a message of pain. This message means, please inspect and clean the wound, and be more careful where you're going! Emotions are no different to this sort of message. If you are unhappy then this is a message to make a change. If you are happy, this is your true nature telling you that you are right on track. Every time we suppress an emotion, we are ignoring our true self or true nature. Learning to listen to ourselves is key to recovery. All these messages we receive are useful, ESPECIALLY the unpleasant messages! Our true nature knows what we really need. Depression comes from when we constantly override these messages. You see our true self will shout louder and louder until it's heard. Depression is the loudest shout in existence! This whole process of total authenticity requires a lot of self-compassion. I hope my message to you might alleviate some suffering. Please message me ...
