We all change the way we work, live and even what we believe.
In 2014 I began using TM (Transcendental Meditation) for depression. It alleviated things greatly.
I never would have attempted to leave a well-paying job to write full-time or move my family without the confidence I’ve gained in myself through my twice daily meditation.
I’ve written posts about TM, four of which were picked up and published by TM.org.
TM changed my life and if you have any questions about TM, please ask.
Here are the posts from TM.org

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your story of what brought you to TM really resonated with me, as I feel that I am in a similar depressed state as what you described. I am considering starting TM (I’ve gone to the intro meeting), but my biggest fear is that I’m putting too much hope in TM, that it won’t be as life altering for me as it sounds like it’s been for you, and that I will be disappointed, which will only make me feel more depressed. Do you have any insights/reassurances you can offer me?

My wife has been doing it for 4 years. It’s helped her a lot as well.
