Such sadness most of the time.

Why do we as sufferers of depression and anxiety feel so more intensely than ordinary people. My world feels like it is ending when Inam given bad news about close friends and or lose them. I just want to crawl into a ball and go away. The pain is so very real and it literally hurts my heart so very much. Then I start imagining that I have the illness as well. I am sick of being so very very broken.

Sandieandie, I know it can be very default dealing with anxiety coupled with a loss or bad news. I pray that God strengthen you and give you peace in this challenging moment. I want you to know that even though it overwhelming, but you will survive this too just you have been doing all these while keep faith and hope alive. This world is full of challenges, so we have to arm ourselves deal with the moment. Doing your deep breathing exercise can help calm you down sometimes. Try meditating or listening to inspirational messages. Focus on something different other than the problem at stake. I know its easier said than done but try to talk yourself out of what is making you anxious. Check this out and I think you might find it helpful bit.ly/3d0Rsn7.

I don't know that I feel more than anybody else. Or rather I think we can all experience woe in life and it can manifest in pain and sorrow as it sometimes does or sometimes we can be strong enough to shoulder it. Strong enough to carry on until I suppose it eats us or we let it go. That's the rub. How do we let go of that which sometimes defines us as people? I don't know. I take solace in knowing that I have the wherewithal to ask the question, which if answered may give me precisely the insight to help others in their darkest of times.
