... Breaking out the dark fog of depression and building back my self esteem is priority right now.
Dear Pari,
i hope, you are feeling better right now, and if not, it's ok too. what matters is to stay alive at all costs. the thing that helps me most at the times I contemplate junping off the balcony, is my curiosity. I want to know what would happend after that!!! i mean, not with my body, that I can predict rather in detail, but what would happen to people, my son, my mom ten years after that, etc. I become so curious to know, I step back into living.
I have also found from my experience with therapy, and antidepressants, that the process of recovery is amazingly fast. It took me 26 long years to fully lose self-esteem and build up a mighty depression, but only a few tiny months to regain it all back + gain some, a HEFTY SOME more above the initial 'amount' of it.
Whatever you choose to do, keep pushing, even if you go the wrong way, you will eventually emerge on the right side of it. It's like a globetrotting:) sometimes you get into trouble and become 'stuck', but at other time help along the way, or newly developed abilities speed you up.
i am curious to know more about you, now and in a future,
please, stay
mila
