Apparently its progressive to talk about mental illness and struggle.
Which means I was progressive from 8 years ago - haha.
Anyway: there was this poster on Pinterest which said 'Seeking for help when you have suicidal thoughts' is not a sign of needing-help, that its the greatest sign of strength to seek assistance though some part of you has completely broken down - despite which, one still has the courage to stand up and seek assistance.
I couldn't agree more.
Fighting post-partum depression, post-graduation depression and every kind there is, I now see why I feel a kinship with anyone who is grieving for a lost one or other major losses or failures in life...
Losing hope is akin to breathing but never feeling the air.
Losing perspective is like seeing without understanding.
The idea of seeing seeking assistance as a sign of survival is such an easy to show empathy - to ourselves, to begin with.
Almost every person I meet is essentially a result of their victory or failure to the demons that pervade through the silence, distance or family.
To the extent one wins, one stays alive.
