Disappointment and depression are two heavy burdens that often weigh on the soul, threatening to overshadow our sense of worth and purpose. In the midst of these dark clouds, it can feel impossible to see the light and to believe that we are deserving of happiness and fulfillment. But even in our darkest moments, it’s essential to remember that our worth remains unshakable, untarnished by the storms raging within us.
Depression has a way of magnifying our disappointments, amplifying every setback and failure until they seem insurmountable. It wraps its tendrils around our minds, whispering cruel lies about our value and worth and convincing us that we are undeserving of love, success, and happiness. But it’s important to recognize these thoughts for what they are: distortions of reality, not reflections of truth.
In the throes of depression, it can be incredibly challenging to believe that we are worthy of anything good. The weight of disappointment feels suffocating, dragging us further into the abyss of despair. But even in our darkest moments, there is hope. There is light waiting to pierce through the darkness, illuminating the path to healing and redemption.
Rising above disappointment and depression is not easy. It requires courage, resilience, and unwavering self-love. It means acknowledging our pain and our struggles without allowing them to define us. It means reaching out for help when we need it most, leaning on loved ones and professionals who can offer support and guidance. And it means challenging the negative thoughts and beliefs that threaten to consume us, replacing them with compassion, understanding, and self-acceptance.
Reclaiming our sense of worth in the face of disappointment and depression is a journey, not a destination. It’s a journey of self-discovery, of learning to embrace our imperfections and celebrate our strengths. It’s a journey of healing, of recognizing that our worth is not contingent upon our achievements or our ability to avoid disappointment but on our inherent value as human beings.
So if you find yourself grappling with disappointment and depression, know that you are not alone. Know that your worth is infinite, unshakeable, and unwavering, regardless of the storms raging within you. And know that even in your darkest moments, there is hope. There is light waiting to guide you out of the darkness, towards a future filled with love, joy, and fulfillment.

"Their entire team is FABULOUS. They have always treated me with dignity and respect. I have watched them with other clients as well and I see their genuine compassion for everyone that walks thru the door. I initially went to them because I moved to CO in late 2017 and they were the first place that had an opening. I needed a psychiatrist to keep me on my Rx. I was surprised when Dr Park spent more than 15 mins going over my past Rx history with me, as has been my experience for many years. Not only did we discuss Rx, he then spent another 45 mins talking to me as a counselor. I had never had a psychiatrist/counselor combo before and was amazed at how effective it is when your Dr hears more about what's going in your life than just the effects of your current Rx. This treatment model is not practiced by someone that doesn't care about his patients. He could offer the basics that most psychiatrists offer and still bill insurance the same amount but he wants his patients to succeed and is invested in their progress. He also doesn't believe in keeping someone in therapy forever. Even if it means less income for him, when you stabilize to the point that you have better things to do than spend 30 mins with him, it's a sign that you may be ready to engage in therapy less often and he will tell you that. Dr Park has been a life and marriage saver for me and he is amazingly efficient. He gets done in 1-2 sessions what would take 6 months for another counselor because he doesn't dance around the issues. To do this, he may be more blunt with you than you might have experienced before and that may be off putting to some. If you are ready to do the hard work to make your life enjoyable again, Dr Park is your man! He also got me hooked up with TMS. If you are someone that has struggled with depression for a long time and taken Rx that hasn't been effective, talk to someone about TMS. It's a game changer. It may sound like hokey fake science. It's not. It works and works fast. THANK YOU!"
