“I’m fighting for every breath here, doc. I can’t do anything I used to. I was a strong guy, a firefighter for goodness sake. Now I can barely carry my garden hose. I can’t sleep, I can’t concentrate, I don’t feel like doing anything anymore.” Jerry sat acros...
I agree with all of it, every word of it. I live it every day.
Dear Jas,
Thank you for your comment.
I'm glad it rings true. It's so important - even vital - to be validated in what we feel. Often challenges that begin with physical disorders and later relating to emotional issues are held inside because we think, "It must be JUST ME who feels this way." Talking with others and learning this is not the case is so comforting, even liberating..."It's NOT just me. This is normal. And I can go on!"
I wish you all the best, Jas, in your battle with depression. Feel free to reach out to others. They can relate.
My Best,
Jane.
