Inside the mind of a mentally fragile person
Being down in the dumps is no easy. It can take over a person completely by distorting their thoughts, feelings, and overall well-being.
They always say, "I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything." "I don’t want to get out of bed." "I can’t motivate myself to go to work." "Nothing sounds appealing anymore. Not even my favorite things…" "Let me spare you the trouble, I’ll be out of your way soon."
"I ignore the phone, emails, and the door." "I don’t want to leave the house." "I feel fragile, weak, and tired." "My anxiety is through the roof." "My head hurts terribly."
"I find myself drowning in this darkness trampled by constant, troublesome thoughts. Feelings of loneliness and abandonment, I feel no one even cares."
When the depression hits, it is mean and nasty. It is crippling. During a major depressive episode, the world can literally seem like a dark place. The depressed person may believe loved ones are better off without them. Nothing seems comforting, pleasurable, or worth living for.
What was challenging feels overwhelming; what was sad feels unbearable; what felt joyful feels emotional agony.
If we’re being totally honest, the people who fight depression and its symptoms sounds like the opposite of weak. That kind of fight takes major strength.
