I let mine out through songs. I thought i was past that stage and although insecurity is not avoided, the rate at which I hold onto it is really alarming. I would give anything to reach out to kids who may be going through "broken homes". Mine started from my father and it's painful because he was supposed to protect not destroy. I have a fear of commitment because of this and also the unnatural ability to run away from any form of conflict be it good or bad.
Some people don't even know that they are depressed. And when they do they believe no one cares. It's sad.
Thank you so much for the response. I fully understand what you mean about the protect, not do other things. It took a very long time for me to even trust another being. You can probably walk into a crowded room and over half will have some sort of anxiety or depression hidden under the surface. I like that you turn to music to help pull through some of it. I find relaxing music, but sometimes I will play something with loudness to it in an attempt to make the thoughts go away. It is sad that teens and adults alike think they are alone, so they hold it all in. I lost a teen niece a few years ago due to suicide. It broke everyone's heart because not one person knew what was wrong, or not that spoke up about knowing. May God help those who struggle with depression and show them they are not alone. I am grateful to have come across you and your post/comment and will follow.
I'm sorry for your loss. I have come close to doing same as well but was stopped when My cousin walked in on me. That's when my family knew the extent of my depression. I may not be totally free but I do know that i do want to help others out there who thing they are alone. Through music or anything else. I appreciate the follow and have followed back. I also appreciate that you took the time to reply. I'm grateful.
