From my point of view no human being is safe from entering the Dark Forest, the important thing here is to draw strength and the desire to leave this Forest, recover and continue with our lives as before. Sometimes we think it is the end and it really is not, we must think about the damage and the anguish that we cause our loved ones, focus on accepting the help and support that they give us. Go out and participate in the social activities of your community even if they do not interest you too much. But you have to establish contact with other people. You can look for a hobby that keeps your mind occupied and away from negative thoughts and it is time to establish small daily goals that you will achieve little by little. It takes time and a lot of effort to recover the desire to keep going but it is not impossible, if you can go out Of the Dark Forest.
@ Abigail-dantes I wish you had an excellent weekend. Greetings
I think so too @piky. I believe no one in this life can avoid the Dark Forest. The good news is that we have the means to exit, no matter how deep we find ourselves in it! Precisely like you observed, we have external means e.g hobbies, community work etc.. and our own resilience to push us forward. But, the road to recovery only presents itself for us when we decided to get going :)
Thank you for your wonderful reflections here!
I agree, if we ourselves do not do our part and decide to save ourselves unfortunately no one can do it for us, however much they want to help, it will be in vain. The decision is ours.
