I had to open your link and listen to @nathankaye song again and I am in the office!
Damn it DV! you got me being emotional here. I am still battling depression and for a better part of last year I had spent talking to my doctor and was one of the reasons why I joined Steemit was to get an avenue for healing.
Writing has always been a form of healing for me and I had three major depression episodes. Last year was the worst as I nearly ended it.
Steemit helped me a lot and in turn I even made a weekly curation of some depression posts that I saw. it was my way for them to know that they are not alone. That someone is listening and will be there when they need them.
That is awesome Mav. I am glad that you have found that Steemit can be a platform for healing for you. I have been overwhelmed with the community here and the support that they offer. Nathan's music is great also and has such an emotional connection when you listen to it.
Yeah the community here has been mostly positive except for a few twats who have superiority complex and dramas but I'm out on those kinds of people don't need it.
Yeah Nathan's music made me emotional again when I heard it.
I feel for what you are saying. Lately I have felt a depression starting to slip back into my life as I feel my grasp of things slip away. Writing my last post of Deep Thoughts help me open... my chest so to speak? to help me move on some. It felt good to get it out when I felt there was nowhere to spill it. And like you said, there is someone there to listen and pick you up. Thank you for sharing this. I understand you and I see you.
Thanks FS! It means the world to me that you responded like this. Sometimes we feel so alone and lost that we don't know how to get back.
Steemit has been a place of healing for me and I have found people who helped me get back.
We are always here FS.
They are true words, and honestly, if you are looking for understanding, I am around :).
I am in a family of 5 and feeling alone happens more often than not.
Isn't Steemit a great place? I am surprised at the amount of people that can show they care, people I don't even know. Gives a feeling of importance. A great team :D xx
@maverickinvictus and @foxyspirit, you both are awesome and just remember, we are all in this life together. We need to look after one another.
Indeed DV! We are all part of a bigger consciousness that is the whole of the human race.
Very true! <3
Thank you ^_^ looking after one another is the way to be. <3
Steemit is amazing and the fact that you can talk to someone and connect regardless of the distance, age or preference in life is just awesome.
I wouldn't have met a lot of great people if I just stayed in Facebook and in my tiny bubble.
Facebook is a huge pocket of negativity. I only saw to what point after I became a member on here. I think it also puts us in a bubble and be disconnected even though it says we are. It's not in the right way in my opinion.
I feel exactly the same about Facebook and YouTube. It encourages negative spirals. I needed to get away from the argument baiting that happens there and my friend introduced me to Steemit. FB makes no one feel good. Steemit is so much better.
I agree FS! it had placed us in a bubble that was full of negativity and Fake news and the sponsored ads sometimes drives me crazy!
I only log into facebook every few days to check on my business page. Other than that, I am sick of the political arguing and other crap on there.
It's the same for me. I have my baking business page there and a few friends that I talk to on there that are not on steemit. MMM... mostly 3, the rest... busy lives. The only good thing I have to say about fb other than I am able to have a business page on there is the part where I got to meet my step sisters (same dad). But it's rare still to talk to them.
It’s really important to remember that everything happens in waves and cycles. I was long as we understand the truth of this then we can take solace in the fact that low times don’t last.
Blessings to youThank you for opening up here @foxyspirit.
That is great advice right there. I know for myself it can be hard to get out of the feeling of being stuck when also living in the moment. Makes it seems like it drags on forever, but looking at it as a cycle it brings in light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, mate. Every time someone reads or hears about someone else’s experience of survival,when they’re in those low times it can help them out. I’m really honoured that my music has touched you in this deep way.
Blessings and good vibes to you!G’day @maverickinvictus!
