I suffer from depression. Yep, sure do. My sister tells me she just handles the sad times and just deals with them. I then feel worse, must be weak, I say to myself. Maybe I just don't try hard enough. And on and on it goes. I find myself apologizing when it is brought up.
Funny, I did not have to excuse myself when I had cancer. But dealing with the total lack of hormones and the havoc it wrecks on my emotions? Yep, feeling the guilt.
I was one of those people you wrote about. I am so sorry. I learned more and then I learned what it is like to be on the other side.
I learned and now, I try to not judge how anyone else is dealing with things in their life. I have not walked a mile in their shoes.
Hats off to you for having the courage to put this out there. It helped me. Thank you my friend, I have missed yout!
No need to be sorry. It's our culture, not us. Still not our fault and we all need to be gentle. I was one of the people I wrote about.
I'm glad this helps. I'm really really glad. Thank you so much for being willing to comment. It really is amazing to know that people are actually reading this and that it resonates.
So thank you so much. And remember to be gentle with yourself.
