How many times do you hear people say to you:-
"Everything will be alright"?
"Things are going to be fine"?
"It will all work out for the best"?
I don't know why or what makes the people that say these things feel the need to say these things. At all. Can they see into the future? No. What are they basing it all on?
I appreciate the fact that I have a bed (although I very rarely sleep). I have clothing, I have food. I do have the feeling which I can't shake off is that one day I may be homeless. If/when it happens then I guess I will face that when the time actually comes. But right now I am not. So that is a good thing. Although I am feeling incredibly down. So what do I do? What do people do?
It's difficult. Depression, Sadness, Worrying. There is ALWAYS something to worry about. So I am not here to tell anyone that things are going to be OK. I will never do that, because I don't know if they will be. What I am going to say is that it is OK to feel sad. And if it is all the time, then it is possible that you may have a mental illness so please try and see someone.
Too many people think they need to go out with a smile on their faces and make out like everything is OK. It is not always the case. Maybe certain jobs or things that you have to do require a small part of you to not be so sad and you have to have some sort of get up and go. I am not saying that doom and gloom is the way to go, but you don't have to feel that you have to be fake. If you are feeling down-talk to someone about it and do not worry about people judging you. There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with feeling sad. It is an emotion.
It is almost exhausting. Keeping everything in. Pretending.
It's not worth it and there is no reason to feel ashamed if you are feeling down.
