I Battle Depression

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Well I think you will find a lot of people lie about how they are feeling because people do not want to hear anything else but " I am fine thanks and you" Yes some people really do want to know but the vast majority just want to hear the standard phase,

Good to talk about what you feel atleast. This is a good site for that.

I think that’s very common. We hope saying it will make it so, or we’d just rather not risk the questions that might follow if we don’t say we’re “fine”. 😒
