It hits everyone!

If suicidal tendency, depression and anxiety all had a simple explanation than they’d be easy to resolve! The truth is that they hit people of all income classes, life stages, races, religions and sexual orientations. They are indiscriminate seemingly. Seemingly . . .

I think the main reason they hit every aspect of society is because they stem from the same internal struggles, one of which is dealing with loss. And it doesn’t matter what that loss is necessary it’s more about how you perceive it. And it doesn’t matter where you started off and where you ended up! The wealthiest among us, the most famous among us still commit suicide and suffer from depression and anxiety.

Loss doesn’t simply refer to a physical or tangible loss either. It could be the loss of an identity or the realization that things aren’t as you thought. Sometimes that loss is associated with the feeling that you are “too far” along that path to change directions or stop or abandon it to pursue another one. You stop looking at things in a day by day type of way and looking forward to things in the future. Instead, everything piles up on you in the moment, in every moment! All the things you did in the past that you perceive as a waste, all the things you will need to do in the future to get on the same level in another area.

It all becomes overwhelming! Maybe you realize you’ve been living a lie but to live the truth would be too much to handle but so is continuing to live the lie.

There’s ways to figure these things out though. It may take time, it probably will. Just hang in there! You’ll figure it out eventually!
