Life is killing people
Life is great, right? There are so many things to do and see, and there's love and hope, and happiness and... I can go on and on...but you get the point. But in the middle of all the good stuff we find a much darker side of life. A place where more and more people end up in depression and fight against thoughts that are hard to grasp and deal with...thoughts that make us look death in the eye. Cause if we can't live, and we don't want to die...where do we end up?
I had a dark period last fall, and didn't know how to get out of it. I'm usually a happy a cheerful person, but started to keep things to myself, said no to parties, and struggled with lonliness... It took months and many diffucult nights with tears and hurtful thoughts before I got out of the dark cloud... I can still visit this place at times, but at least I'm out of the depression, and back into life. This summer, one of my friends mother killed herself. Depression. Left 2 kids & 2 grandkids behind, but didn't think life was worth living. And now, a person close to me is struggeling with anxiety and can't sleep at night... For months he has been very low...and I don't even know how to help him. Of course I've tried...but I feel inadequate.
It scares me what is happening in the world. Life is killing people. All the pressure, stress and stuff we have to deal with today...it's too much! People try to stand strong but after a while they fall down and can't get up... Please give people strength to live. We need it!

Hmmmm tough one, let's start by simply naming that even if you might feel inadequate that you definitely are not... There is one big thing you can do: Reach out, be there, share your own happiness...
Lyrics that came up in my head:
Take a little time out of your busy day
To give encouragement
To someone who's lost the way
(Just try)
Or would I be talking to a stone
If I asked you
To share a problem that's not your own
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
(Just try)
If you see an old friend on the street
And he's down
Remember his shoes could fit your feet
(Just try)
Try a little kindness you'll see
It's something that comes very naturally
We can change things if we start giving
Why don't you
Reach out and touch
Why don't you (Why don't you)
Reach out and touch somebody's hand
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Reach out and touch
Somebody's hand
Make this world a better place
If you can
Nice lyrics...thanks for sharing!
