As a person who is a very empathetic person, it is difficult for me to reason with myself and other people because I feel like I do not understand or they do not understand the feelings I am going through or what they are going through. I do not like to be able to understand because I believe that I am not able to help that person.
When a person says that depression is a phase, I get upset. When a person says that a depressed person should stop being sad, I get upset. Any mental condition is difficult to comprehend and difficult to go through. Not everything is black and white and not everything has a one step solution. We cannot tell a person to stop because words are not actions. They will never be actions.
The reason why I decided to say this thought is because it has been running in my mind for a long time, and I never had the courage to say things. I am afraid to show emotions. I do not like to be vulnerable. I do not like to appear weak, but as humans, I say that we are a bit hard on ourselves because we want to look strong. We want to look strong so that the other person can lean on us. I am not always a wall.
I will never understand what it means to go through depression or any mental condition, but I will not say simple solutions that many ignorant people assume.
If life were really that easy, what happens to the adventure? What happens to growing?
With love,
Violet Sar Bleu
