Can I tell you something? I'm angry. I don't know why and I don't know what brought it up. I think it is because I told someone. I told them I had depression and they said "It will be okay." I told someone I tried to hurt myself and they said "Why? Other people have it worse than you!" I don't care if someone has it worse than me. These are my problems and my emotions. No one can or should try to tell me how to feel and act. It you don't like what I say or do, then tell me that. If you feel uncomfortable around me, then tell me that. If you don't know what to say, then tell me that. Don't say or do something stupid. I'm not stupid. I may do stupid things sometimes. But I'm not a bad person.That is why I am mad!

You have every right to your emotions, and I'm happy to see that you're owning them. A wise man once told me, "No matter how bad life seems for you, there is always someone else who is worse off." It's easy to feel sorry for oneself. We all do it. Misery loves company, because we want to feel like we're part of a group and not the only one who is suffering.

I am also reminded of an old quote, "This too shall pass."

No matter what we might be going through, it will inevitably change for us; either for the better or for worse, but it will change. Change is inevitable.

There are a lot of people who don't know what to say to someone who is going through something painful, because they, themselves, may feel like they've had it worse. I can tell you that there are horrors in my past that make a great many people's problems seem minute to me, but that doesn't give me the right to make someone else feel that their problems are any less painful than the ones I've been through in my lifetime.

One of the ways I've learned to feel better about something painful happening around me or to me, is to help someone else who is going through something also. It builds strength to get me through it. Perhaps it might also help you.

Much love ... and hang in there!

It is not what I would call a story; more like a monologue. It has power, but little supportive texture. If it is not a story, but a rant . . . No comment.
