You’ve got to be kidding! Depression, chronic anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, OCD and PTSD are just a few. Day after day, we suffer their symptoms and consequences. How many of your friends could you do it?
“By accepting the challenge of suffering bravely, the meaning of life is retained literally until the very last moment.”
We lose “life” when we are constantly in emotional distress. We blame ourselves and punish ourselves.
It’s almost like an AI emotional companion who tells us every hour how much of a loser and self-harming techniques we should use.
The scars are too many to count and difficult to accept.
How long have you been without a word or encouragement? That’s exactly what I thought.
What do you know? We all deserve a badge.
The scars from distress
Since 50 years, I have been fighting with mental and emotional distress. Not that you would want to see, but I could show you my scars and tell you where I got them.
What about you? Do you know them well? Consider these if you’re unable to identify any.
