Good evening My Friends
It's been a long time since I have written anything here and it is not that I haven't had quite a bit on my mind but some things you just try to handle and deal with on your own. Of course, you all know that in the past week and even this year we have heard a lot of stories of deaths due to suicide. Quite a few of them have been celebrities. With the latest being a young 40-year-old man who appeared to happy with his life, family and career. We ask ourselves, why would he do something like that to his family and his children?
Well, for someone that works in the healthcare industry and at times I have talked to people who say they are depressed which now I can see why this is a big thing. In the past when we used to say to our family or friends " I am depressed today, it was because we were having a bad day at work, family or simply anything that may not have gone right that day" Well I am here to tell you I am one of those people who wonders why people are so easily claiming this title of depression. I don't believe that you have to take a pill for everything because to me sometimes that makes things worse. If you have someone to talk to that is wonderful but so many of us do not have that support system of people who will listen without judgement or make comments on your situation. It is also really hard to talk to someone who hasn't gone through your particular situation.
I would like to think that in my lifetime I was able to help someone by sharing my life experiences and some of the things that I went through and sometimes still feel like I'm going through. When you get to a point where you feel like why me? why do I feel like I have to keep starting over? why do you continue to try and do the right thing and you still feel as if you are always struggling to achieve your dreams?
I am no different from any of you out there who have spent time in your car crying and then get out and move on with your day, I have been in the bathroom in tears because things are not the way I would like them to be, this time of the year is hard for a lot of people. You try not to fall into a funk but sometimes that is exactly what you do. You have to make yourself get out of bed and do one thing that you enjoy. I for one thank God for face time and video chatting. Yesterday was a bad day I was in tears almost the entire day because of the things going wrong right now. It is true when it rains it pours, you know it is bad when you feel like your life is a Tyler Perry movie, but in his movies, there is a happy ending.
This time of the year I would like my life to become a lifetime Christmas miracle. Please check on your friends and don't disregard someone else's problems because your life is okay, I always tell my co-workers every day, you never know what someone is going through in their life, we all look good on the outside but inside we may be going through somethings. Just try to be a nonjudgmental shoulder that the person who may be thinking of doing something to themselves can lean on.
Peace and love to you all this has been a relief for me as well, I hope this helps someone. I will return to blogging when there is something on my mind to share.
love you all
Miss V
