Depression is a hole we fall in that requires the help of others to crawl back out
So sorry for your loss Slash...... may your friend find peace and for those left behind who search for answers I wish to share a piece if I may.
It does not provide the solutions we all seek but it may give some, a glimpse at understanding the pain of poor souls.
The Well
Please don’t tell me to “relax”.
Please don’t say it’s just the weather.
Please don’t ask if I’ve been dieting,
“Stop, and you’ll feel better”.
There is a hole that drags me down,
To a place where there’s no light.
It claws at me,I struggle free.
Sometimes I lose the fight.
I feel so tired, but cannot sleep.
I can barely face each day.
My stomach churns,my heart beats fast.
Why won’t this go away?
My nerves are raw, tears come easy,
I want to run and hide.
But what’s the point?There is no sense.
I can’t run from what’s inside.
I know it isn’t logical for me to feel like this.
I have a home, I have good friends,I’m grateful for them all.
But that only makes it harder to explain,
To understand why I fall.
If I fall too hard, if I fall too fast
I’ll drown in my self-doubt.
I have to stop, dig in my nails
And claw my way back out.
I know I need to take control,
Push back the heavy curtain
That blocks my light, and saps my will,
And makes me so uncertain.
For now I’ll wait and hope and pray,
Take a breath and count to ten.
And trust that I will have the strength
To find myself again.
