In this world, so often we meet people who choose to be right, instead to be compassionate. I do not judge them, because, at times, I myself might have wanted to offer my advice so much that forgot to connect on a deeper level, and forgot just to be there for the one who needs it.
I just rolled out from my latest depression episode, and once again I feel that I have enough strength to keep going. I do not have close friends or a caring family. So, yeah, it is just me alone facing my life struggles. The times those struggles grow overwhelming, it is important to know whom to ask for support. If you try to connect with the wrong group of people, they may drag you deeper, they may drown you actually, they may victim blame you or ridicule you.... the ironic detail here is that such effect may result from very regular responses from people who do not mean any harm. They just do not get it.
It is strange how we know it all when in fact, we know nothing. And we can understand only when we have faced it before. And we never know it all, because if it seems similar, it may not feel the same.
(just wrote down my thoughts after realizing what caused my depression episode this time, turning to people who understood me and receiving so needed emotional help support, and clarification. Whilst, received an email from a religious group that could make me a non-believer if I did not know better myself)
