Wow time flies when you’re having “fun” – There is snow on
the ground (not sure for how much longer, yay Chinooks), the air is crisp…ish,
and everywhere you go some marketer is ramming the “holidays” down your throat.
What you have there is the “unhealthy” person’s perceptions
of themselves and the festivities. “Healthy” person singing along to Christmas
Music, while decorating the tree; “Unhealthy” person hiding in a darkened room,
tears rolling down their cheek; “Healthy” person enjoying the hustle and bustle
of Christmas Dinner, with friends and family; “Unhealthy” person taking moments
to escape the festivities to cry. If you could read their mind you would be
crushed by the self loathing, the pain and the pure sorrow. So awful that,
perhaps only in that moment, they want to die - I know this as I have been
there.
Anyway, back to the holidays: if you know someone suffering
from mental illness, check up on them – see how they are doing, and ask if they
need any help. They will be going through their own personal hell; some due to the
lack of money, some the lack of people in their lives, some just need the ear
of a friend to help ease the pain, some will be lost (let’s keep that number
down). Obviously some will be resistant to accept the help, but maybe your act
of kindness will be enough to give them a little hope.
Happy Pre Pre Pre Holidays
Until next time Blogonians [blawg-awn-ee-uh n]s...
