I met someone on the bus last night that I had not seen for a while but he always used to stop and have a chat with me whenever we met each other. When I asked him how his job was going it was such a shock when he told me he had had a nervous breakdown and could no longer work. He says he does not know what triggered it but he woke up and couldn't leave the house and was crying all the time. His dr sectioned him and he is now on medication. All I could do was hug him. He told me everything on the bus with the other passengers hearing what he was saying. It brought tears to my eyes. He says the medication was helping. When we got off the bus I stayed and listen to him talk and then hugged him. I don't usually hug people close to me much less strangers but I did I am glad I met him but could not help feeling sad that such a vibrant person could end up so depressed. I just listened and let him talk didnt let him know how awful I have been feeling lately.
