San Diego Journey Photography:Tell a friend! Click here to Share this site Nouwen reported that he "...no longer had any interest in other people's problems. I lost all appetite for food and could not appreciate the beauty of music, art, or even nature." His dark mood and inability to feel pleasure lasted for several months. Combined with a variety of other symptoms, these problems would likely justify a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (page 26)...."In a different place, Nouwen tells us one thing he did during his season of anguish. With deep appreciated, he speaks of an elderly friend, a priest, to whom he turned. During the most difficult period of my life when I experienced great anguish and despair, he was there. Many times, he pulled my head to his chest and prayed for me without words but with a Spirit-filled silence that dispelled my demons of despair and made me rise up from his embrace with new vitality." -page 27 Connecting, Larry Crabb
