chasing stability

when i am always told that everybody wants stability

as if everybody is unstable

that is a lie to make the unstable feel a little bit better

i guess for the unintelligent, it is fine

i hate being a thinking man some times

👣

albeit, there is the certainty that there are many that are unstable

so please, give me an ear in this address

👣

these are the invaluable observations i have made about having depression and PTSD

they may different from you to me

we are all unique in our design

in body and in mind

so from one to another

here is the commonality that we can find

👣

it is not wise to minimal{ize} anybodies problem

to tell one about everybody else problems does one thing to a depressed person

it makes them more depressed – because what they are going through means nothing

therefore, a depressed person is then worth nothing

and guess where we are going

toward the darkness in terms of meeting the light

and not in the good way

👣

i figure if someone has a splinter in their hand, and is going all crazy

i won’t say calm the f)*&# down, i won’t approach the rage either

but just saying, i will try to understand

there may be much more behind the attack, the fit

and that is where the empathetic soul is needed

one who will hear – then the real problem will likely come out

or it can be lead out… and be treated, even if intermittently

until someone can help to dig deep into the soul and help the underlying problems to get resolved, or at least to work on minimizing the damage caused

👣

so this is just a first thought

a first observation of many

on how not to antagonize

how not to minimal[ize]

and how not to make light of ones difficulties

in the hopes of gaining stability

sometimes all we can do is

👣
