Hugs friend! People would often say if a rich and successful person commits suicide due to depression that why they have everything that they need. They don't understand the problems of those under depression.
Remember how that ill informed tv personality said that depression is just made up. Remember how some people would just say just suck it up princess, remember how some people will just say then just choose to be happy instead.
We don't want to get depressed. Who would want to have that feeling of emptiness and dread every single day.
I have a confession to make I was supposed to have died this month. I was all set to it already but writing it out made more progress than all my shrink sessions and support groups. In a way when I retreated to writing and looked at the abysss of despair, I was able to confront my demons and in a bit had them retreat. I am still not fully ok. I still have thoughts from time to time and sometimes I still wallow in self pity and can't go out of the house and shut myself in the dark, crying. Yet I am still here today and I just take one day at a time.
Whenever you have those thoughts I am here to listen. If you need to get, cry your tears out.
You are not alone. So many of us had their demons win and eventually take their lives. Yet we can strive to get better one day at a time.
Glad to still have you in this battle, mate! Let's write our feelings away, okay? Still a tough month for me, and reading the Kpop star's suicide letter made it all worse, but kapit pa rin. Hugs hugs hugs! <3
