When the shadows are closing in
And your spirit diminishing
Just remember You're not alone
And love will be there To guide you home ~ Mariah Carrey
Through this journey of life, I have discovered that the only thing worse than going through an adversity, is going through it ALONE..
Thankfully (or not) I have learned that there is someone who has experienced what you may be struggling with.I have discovered numerous support groups both online and offline and they consist of individuals who are going through it, have gone through it or have helped someone go through it.
Like I said, the mind is a really dark place,especially when you feel all alone..in a world where everyone else seems to have it together.
I know how it feels like to envy the dead; at least they dont have a lonesome world to deal with... Or so I thought.
It is by interacting with other people that I discovered that we all go through our fifteen minutes of turbulence. Even my role models have confessed to experiencing some really dark times I wondered how they made it through...
The best part about life is that there is always someone who is willing to offer a shoulder to lean on - I believe everyone has that fibre to help someone cope with something.
Problem is that some few individuals have learned to take advantage of our humanity. This has made many of us sceptical to every sorry case we encounter, but it doesnt mean that the fibre to help is not there.
Another thing, everyone hates ~ leeches even people who leech on others hate leeches!!
But I need help... Without looking like a leech...
You will get help.God opens doors. Most of these doors involve meeting someone who will help you at your point of need.
I have read of many people struggling with depression that is so crippling but they put on a mask; not even their closest friends know they are suffering... It is sad.
We are wired to need each other.When we help someone heal, we also heal.
Highways to healing...Are so many.
In my initial recluse phase, i was big on facebook...and I came across numerous groups that offer support both for medical and emotional health.
Through the facebook grapevine I found about lots of books and blogs that address these issues, both from personal and professional perspectives.
The main point of this article is...
*You are not alone.
*No matter what you are going through someone has been there and is VERY WILLING to hold your hand.
*It is VERY OK to grieve for some time.*No matter how bleak it looks there is always a dawn for every dark cold night. *Most importantly, God knows what you are going through. You only need to reach out.
*You don't need a perfect eloquent prayer...even tears alone suffice for a real prayer for help.
*No matter how you feel... Always tell God that you trust Him to take care of you...even if you have no clue of what to expect.
*ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE LITTLE ANSWERS AND HELP that God favours you with.
￠Never go through life's difficulties thinking you are alone.
￠Never go through life being against yourself.
￠Always thank God for what you have survived; as far as God is concerned, you are a WINNER in His book.
