We all have something going on in our lives that may bring us stress, sadness
and anything else that’s not positive for ourselves. It’s part of our lives that we want everything to be right, and we all try to make the best of what we have; of course, life isn’t perfect, and that’s OK! Our mistakes help us to become stronger and better; we do learn from our errors. I know I can get out of whatever situation through the higher power and people that I know who are in my corner, my closest friends. When I was going through my depressive episodes, I tried to believe that I would get out of those times.
For those who can relate, sometimes I keep things bottled up inside until it takes over me, and I would feel terrible; it can all happen so fast regarding my reaction to a situation, then I would have a negative feeling. So, to know I can talk deeply to one of my friends to vent or seek advice is always nice, and I want others to have the same. But, unfortunately, I hear many people with mental health or just anyone going through something that doesn’t have anyone to talk to about their problems. I’ve had moments in life when I didn’t feel like I had anyone I could trust, and I do remember that feeling.
There are groups on social media for anyone going through mental health, along with someone they can talk to. I’ve looked at how people in those groups support each other, and the atmosphere doesn’t make anyone feel bad. I’m glad that people have access to groups like that because many individuals don’t want to keep their problems in their heads where it can eat them up.
I try to remember to think about what others may be going through because I never want what I may behave going on to affect an individual who may have been going through hell on that particular day when they come across me. A person may need a laugh, vent, or talk about anything to keep their mind, not tear them apart when they’re in your space.
What I’ve learned is for those who think that no one may understand your problems in your group of friends, one of them may, and you’ll be surprised. But, unfortunately, there are support groups and sites dedicated to helping those who don’t have anyone to talk to about their struggles.
