I Battle Depression and Anxiety

Sometimes I think there is a point in which you pass where there is no coming back. People never really seem to understand this about people who suffer from depression or anxiety, but sometimes a soul has felt more than enough pain, felt more than enough loneliness or enough hopelessness that it can't be healed from it's brokenness.A huge part of this sickness is the breaking of your will. Pessimistic thinking becomes insurmountable and you can't allow yourself to believe there is something worth living for or even that there is anything good in this life. In turn, the negative thinking becomes an addiction. You actually start thinking you want to be destroyed. You want nothing good for yourself, and you do this out of spite or anger. It's an endless cycle that leads to more pain and the worst part about it is, things shouldn't be this way. Things were never meant to be this way.

Indeed, it is something easily dismissed by a lot of people. To feel like you are decaying in your own body or feeling unhinged is the worst! All I can say is, what worked for me, is talking it out to certain people who were like a source of light. People who realized that I would need to unload frequently. It is an everyday fight. One step at a time. And don't be ashamed to talk about it if you have people you can trust.

Exactly, on the outside it's so easy to put a face on for everyone one to see when deep down you're hurting inside. You're mind wanders off in this hole that's constantly neverending. That's the saddest part that I've noticed with myself is that not many people understand unless one has experienced it. We should look after one another and always check up on a friend how they are doing...

@kaisamar Definitely. Sorry you struggle with the same thing. Like you said it's important to keep in touch with eachother, could save someone's life without even realizing it.

What surprises me is that you are able to see outside of your negative thoughts. A lot of people aren't able to do that. I think as long as you hold on to your sanity, so to speak, you will always be able to come back.
