Those who lie , may only be lying about their emotions , or anything of that sort . They may lie to keep those around them to keep them safe , to make them happy of sorts. Although the person may not be happy themselves but those around them are and that is good enough.
No, it is not good enough.
The person should be happy also.
The person is valuable.
The person deserves to be happy.
The person is loved, though they may no know it.
The person is not alone in feeling the way they do.
The person has strength and courage.
The person has depth and knowledge.
The person may dwell in darkness, but it was not always this way, and it will not always be this way.
The person may be afraid to be happy, to risk the status quo.
But the person is in charge of their destiny, and they can decide when to step back into the light.
When the person wants help to get up and leave the darkness, the person only has to ask, and help will be given.
Sometimes it's harder then you think
Hard it may be, but not impossible.
And it does not have to be done alone.
With a little help, anything can be overcome.
A start, is to look at the world in all its beauty and wonder, the variety of splendor is awe inspiring.
Then know that the person is part of that beauty, the beauty exists because they exist.
The beauty is the person, and the person is the beauty.
If the person ever doubts their importance and value, their worthiness, just ask someone who has no agenda. They will tell you your true value.
If the person offers friendship to a dog, the dog with return the offer without restraint.
Dogs have no agenda - they know the truth of a person.
If a person wants to find a path to the light, all they need to do is cuddle a puppy and the light will be revealed.
Yes, sometimes it is. I know it all to well. Often times we put ourselves in roles where we think our sacrifice is worth hurting ourselves. That change will happen automagically. This is the lie we tell ourselves. Only to hurt us even more. Surely there is something that can bring a smile or joy to you in desperate times. YOU HAVE TO FIND IT. When we lie thinking we are protecting others, its only at the cost of oneself. If the truth hurts others it is better to say it and let them heal, forgiveness will come. If not at least the guilt will not drag you down.
Sorry I don't know the details, but I think this is good solid advice. I have depression that was inherited natural brain chemical imbalance. I learned to live with it through very trying times, including the very present situation. The thoughts one can experience during these times are very troubling. FIND AN OUTLET!!!
I've tried , it's not easy living in the situation I do
Well not to compare apples to oranges here. But I have lost everything I have owned due to circumstances in my life 4 times. I am almost to my 5th and this || close to being homeless. It's not that I am not able to take care of myself but I have been blacklisted from getting any sort of regular job due to my felony charge on my record. I work for someone who said they would help me but now have me working just for a roof over my head (living in his house) and some food in my belly. It really is like slavery... I haven't any money in my pocket for months now. Really.....
Yet I am still here, yes my mind has me looking for the easy way out (death). However I have come to realize that it is a very selfish act to do. Especially when I watched someone I loved with all my heart fight for 2 years just to stay alive a little bit longer when she was battling cancer. No ones life is easy. We have been given what we got to make us stronger, better people but only if we get ourselves to see it that way.....
I suppose
