A Case of Depression|| Avicii, Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain's Death's Inspired
The people we rarely reach out to (and that we should) are those who push their loved ones away. Distancing themselves. If you ask why they'll tell you they just want to be left alone.
They postpone dates, cancel weddings and watch career opportunities pass by. We easily lose our patience with them. Their last seens are hidden, their 'blue ticks' grey; not because they're (whatever you guys call grey tickers) but because a bloodthirsty monster called depression keeps sapping air off their will to live life.
Their minds are filled with negative self talks hopelessness and despair, suicide entertaining itself leisurely in the background. When they look inside, they see nothing but scattered cans of emptiness. They're in pain and because that makes us uncomfortable (or we think they're being selfish), we stay away, helping them punish themselves even further.
To Kate Spade, Anthony Bourdain, Avicii and every undocumented, unreported person who has recently lost the battle to depression, may your souls find that rest in eternal bliss.
It is scary, so scary. To think that one can seemingly have everything and yet have nothing or no one for them to hold onto when it feels most difficult. How can one do what they love, be successful at it and still end up with the feeling of a never-ending emptiness? My prayer is that through it all, we remain sane. It is a crazy world, and balancing life is quite a task.
Throughout human history, our greatest leaders and thinkers have used the power of words to transform our emotions, to enlist us in their causes, and to shape the course of destiny.
If we understood the power of our thoughts, we would guard them more closely. If we understood the awesome power of our words, we would prefer silence to almost anything negative.
In our thoughts and words, we create our own weaknesses and our own strengths. Words not only create emotions, they also create actions. And from our actions streams the results of our lives.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can positively and greatly change our lives.
To anyone feeling like they have reached the edge of a cliff, I am only a text/ call away, I promise to be your support pillar should you need me to. Feel Free to reach out.

It’s such a horrible thing depression .... feeling helpless ..
It is. Thank you for stopping by
Yeah, depression kills. And it isolates. It's all the more dangerous because it's invisible. We don't understand this is a physical malady, so we blame the person who is depressed.
Look for the signs. Be alert to unusual behavior. Reach out.
Completely agree.
