Why can I not beat it on my own?
ANSWER:
A question I’d like to ask is, “Why do you think you HAVE to beat depression on your own?”
For some reason, we believe we need to be islands. We can survive without having
help from others. Sure, maybe it’s because we have been hurt by others so we tend to associate other people as pain. If so, we need to learn how to find people who help us and not hurt us.
We can also teach our loved ones how they should treat us through the depression. Not easy? No, it can be difficult but when it happens – WOA! Life is SO much better!
Depression often disconnects us from our friends and family. We tend to push them away. This only in turn continues a vicious cycle of depression and isolation.
