RE: Rambling thoughts about depression
Well, at some point I used to blame people mostly for been depressed. Mostly because I came from a background where you learned to swallow up any shitty experience and move on. Since I could do it, I expected others to do same.
But I learned early enough that we all have different emotional strength and I should expect everyone to be as strong as I am. It's important that we try to help others out of their own depressed state.
One advantage of offering a helping hand is that there's a certain joy one gets from helping others. You feel important and have some sense of purpose because you actually help someone recover. That can help your own depression.
Well, from my personal experience I can tell you that even if you
are used to swallow up the shit, there might be a time when the shit is too big even for you. It's true though that there are people who deal with problems that seem small to the most and that's why it's hard to understand their pain. But as I said in the article, too many small problems can be equal with a big one.
You're kind & smart for helping others.
Thank you for stopping by!
