You Or Someone Else?
How is it with you guys? Is it worse for You to be in your hoplessness or watching someone else fighting their battle?
I would have to say watching someone else fighting their battle. That is because in a perfect world I just want everyone to be happy
Others. I'm ok left to my own devices.
I am never hopeless, I think that is one of the most important things we have to realize, is that there is always hope, it never goes away. I have my brother, but as I don't know how, what he has, idk what his mental illness is like, but i talk to him about various topics and we have a good conversation. I have another brother that has my illnesses, but he is toxic to me, and I have nothing else in common that i can talk to him about, he's done so much harm to others that i don't want to be around him.
I hope I am a good support person on here, I very much want to be, this is like family to me, a good family.
others. I have a certain amount of control over myself but not others.
Both can be very hard. However, when my depression is in its depths and I am at the bottom of the pit and truly feel there is no way out...that is harder for me. When it's someone else, at least I have perspective. When I lose perspective for myself..then I'm in real trouble.
Praise God that hasn't happened often.
@A MyDepressionTeam Member...Right now both you and your mother are suffering. Is one harder for you? Or are they both just really hard... 💜
