There are times in life when we think that things will not happen to us, or that suddenly we have words for all times, I don't know if it has happened to you, but it has to me. Before, everyone always looked for me to give them advice or some words of encouragement, it was so much so that I even thought of the idea of studying psychology 😅... But I always stay there; in ideas...
Being honest, I was hesitating a lot to make this post, and well, although almost 10 years have passed since my father's departure, you can't imagine how difficult it is for me even to remember it, and I dared because curiously several have happened events of people on the platform and my friends, some due to the loss of their father or some illness...
I'll tell you that (this is the worst part because it's not something I want a medal for, because I never painted myself in that situation, well, who did?) I had depression for 4 years due to the loss of my father, because he died in my arms in a hospital bed and at that moment even for a long time it was as if I had died too, I was with psychologists and even psychiatrists for several attempts to make that feeling come true, I had panic attacks in the street and I couldn't go out alone, and for fear of becoming dependent on antidepressants I didn't take them properly and well I think it was the best I could do...
Until now it has been and I think it will continue to be the worst thing that has happened to me in my life, but I have tried to live with it, you know, I improved my depressive behavior because my partner, who at that time we were just friends, helped me a lot in That situation, I took the impulse to stop attending consultations and study on my own what emotional intelligence was, the difference between feelings and emotions, about anxiety, controlling panic attacks and all that kind of issues that not only caught my attention but that I suffered from...
But, I don't have so many words anymore, and even sometimes I don't know what to say and I prefer not to say anything and offer hugs, it's something I realized I wanted them to do with me at that moment, but time doesn't turn back, it doesn't stop , he continues without ceasing and without mercy, the only ones who stop us are us thinking that for that reason everything else has to stop too, but no, everyone continues their lives, doing what they do, everyone continues breathing and walking and those who hold on, we are the ones who do not have enough emotional intelligence to dare to keep walking...
I still have some lapses, the truth, but I developed a certain hardness in other things, but in others it is very difficult for me to control my emotions and it is a struggle. He always told me that when we learn to know ourselves we will know how to defend ourselves before everything and everyone else, and not precisely with the opposite, that as long as we are unbalanced we will be a magnet for certain unfavorable situations, but it already depends on one how to be , swim to the most favorable direction...
I have few photos of him, and they are all from when he was a girl and it is one of the things that makes me sad, he always thought that the photos are not important that it was better to enjoy that moment that is unique, but since It was I see that thinking as something wrong to a certain extent, I would have liked very much to have more memories captured with him...
But sometimes we can't change anything in a situation that doesn't depend only on you and actually that's fine, we just have to learn not to just cling to the negative side, because nothing is totally negative and nothing totally positive...
I learned to breathe, walk and run little by little... Although physical activities are also quite helpful by the way and I say this from experience, I got into all kinds of sports activities that occurred to me, and as one person told me Once the doctor who attended the time my dad died and it was something so hard that I never forget and her words were "wake up because this is your life, your dad was the one who died not you, he is already dead and you can not do any". Very strong words but they helped me get out of the paralysis and the shock I had at that moment and it was totally true, they were the words that hurt me the most in my whole life but they were true and now I thank that doctor who said it, because my mother stayed and if I weren't with her I don't know who would take better care of her, I still don't have children and she is my first priority in everything.
