+1. And don't ever be shy to seek help if you think you might need it. |

I've had depression all of my life, and while I've never been suicidal or one to self harm, the point at which I would have been closest to that was when I had no friends to speak of because I had become so withdrawn - rarely leaving my room or interacting with anyone. Well I've been far deeper than you and let me tell you, it ain't worth it. **** everyone and **** everything.
It's not a contest, because those that have been the deepest don't ever come back. I've been through very severe depression myself and I know that social contact with supportive people is perhaps the most helpful thing there is for it. When you're searching for a reason to live, there is no better place to find it than in another human being. |

Yesterday I was arrested and held in police custody, they asked me to speak to a drugs and alcohol advisor. I agreed. We talked and I told him it was a waste of time. He asked me why I thought that and I said, because of thisddd
Do you remember the last person you gave advice to? Do you remember the person before that? Or the person before that or the person before that? He told me he couldn't.
So I said Exactly! It's a waste of time because no one gives a ****. You don't give a ****, you can't even remember the people you're supposed to give meaningful support to. That's why it's a waste of time.
That's depressing.
You're right, that is depressing. But to me, that just illustrates the point that it is important to get help from a professional, and someone you feel you can build trust with. When you go to see someone who has been training for years in treating what ails you, and you know they will remember you week after week, it makes all the difference in the world. |
