I know, due the the nature of our affliction, there is more than a bit of negativity on this site. It is the hope of understanding, not relief that brings us here
The idea that the organ that is most essentially us is working against us, and thousands of years of regarding mental illness as weakness is hard to get past That said, I wish my depressed mind did not use stomach pains as its go to for reminding me I am surrounded and harried by my black dogs I read the snap plan and I tried that once. I walked away from a promising job, my friends and left a lot behind. It took me two years to recover. Part of me right now wishes I had never had success for a few years. Success gave me hope and, as has been said, a man without hope is a man without fear. I was depressed but never that worried because I had no fear. Like Plato's cave dweller, I knew life only through the shadows cast on the walls I could see from my chained position. A slack in the chains resulted in me seeing the world outside and I began to think that I might like some of that world If you dwell in absolute darkness you have no idea of what is there and do not fear it. When you light the first candle, you become aware of how much is actually around you and that only makes you wonder of the prospect of what may lie beyond your wavering candle's light |
