Welcome...interesting your post says "finding my way out of the abyss" if you read my introduce myself post...I also talk about the dealing with the abyss...namaste!
One of my favourite quotes on the abyss, that I discovered on my epic journey was true...don't resist the abyss...hope that gives you courage.
“Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”
