[quote=GUESTCANDY,478159]I have to disagree with a lot of the comments made on this topic albeit you’re entitled to your opinion which is the premise of this forum but I would like to make a few remarks myself. Firstly I don’t think that CG (original thread poster) pities herself in fact depression is a mental illness and it is easy to say stop feeling sorry for yourself than going a lot deeper to the root of the problem, no one has the right to judge. Depression consumes the mind and soul research into it I have worked with patients and trust me it is like a slow poison which eats you up inside. Secondly I completely disagree when people make the statement ‘live today like it was your last’ who actually does that in the real world? No-one I believe as it is easier said than done and that is a fact. How many people do you actually know who live like it is their last day on this earth? There is a difference between living in the moment and that of your last day on earth. Bobert you have suggested a strong sense of here are a few quotes so get over it, your comments are hardly helpful they insinuate judgement such as read positive line and wake up, which is clearly not the answer. Thirdly by reading between the lines perhaps CG didn’t have a choice coming to China a prime example of this a young woman was forced into a marriage and when she refused she was brutally killed this is to demonstrate that I believe some people do not have a choice, all those babies or children drugged and abused where was the choice there and these are exaggerated examples to highlight my point. CG I hope you can find someone who can offer a helping hand and yes I agree with some comments that you need to make a step in going forward but do it in your own time. If someone reaches out don’t shun them away as they may be the light you are looking for at the end of the tunnel. Each individual is unique don’t be a sheep and follow the crowd whenever you feel ready to move then do so, I think you are courageous and coming onto this forum was a way of allowing to share your pain and accept some form of help. If you want to then take on the advice which suits you as everyone has an opinion some good some bad but you can choose which one you want your heart to listen to. Bless you CG [/quote]
