What i have found after years of intense inner work is that the causes of these states go very deep, perhaps even being past life issues, if that's your belief.

It has taken years of meditation, yoga, fitness, proper diet etc. to get to the point where i know the episodes, though damaging and draining, are not the end of the world.

And i can even at times have the ability to get
'on top' of a current emotional or psychological experience, transform the energy and heal the condition with awareness.

As far as medication goes, by far the best for me is to fry some cannabis in butter till very dark and consume
it. yes, that's right. i eat some of the mary jane and find a relieving, helpful and healing state of being.

I remember looking across the water at Wasaga Beach, Ontario. It was deep winter and out in the bay it was just huge donuts of ice against the black water.
And also, when ice fishing I noticed small particles of ice joining each other and forming rings.

I think the circle is a most profound shape, and it is behind most if not all natural processes.

Humankind however, for the most part, thinks in a more linear crooked kind of way. And it's a reason for a lot of our problems.
