Most people want to believe that their anxiety or depression is being caused by other people or by events – but these are not the major causes of most current anxiety and depression. Certainly, we all experience anxiety or depression regarding painful and challenging life events, but this is different than ongoing anxiety or depression.
Other than anxiety and depression that is physically caused due to a toxic gut which causes toxicity in the brain, or unhealed childhood trauma, or very painful life events, most current, ongoing feelings of anxiety and depression are caused by some form of self-abandonment. Your anxiety or depression may be the way your inner guidance is letting you know that you are abandoning yourself.
