Before You Do Yourself Damage…. READ THIS

Guaranteed you’ll want to share it.

There’s a popular status thingee currently going around that that begins with “It’s important to remember that not everyone is surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and sometimes are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness…..”

And it’s hugely important and something worth focusing on.

Having recently emerged from rather nonoptimal thoughts myself, I wanted to share a personal perspective.

1.) Your life has far more importance than to solely you.

Chances are, you have a whole heap ‘o folk (friends, family, etc.) who would be there for you if ONLY you reached out and let them know, Hey! The coffeecup of life, she be empty!

And if you don’t, if you’re truly solely alone…. there are places your extraordinary self truly would make a difference. A nursing home, a hospital, an animal shelter…. you’ll find that giving the smallest bit of comfort rebounds and flares to life the teeniest of good feelings within your own soul and spirit. Your empty coffeecup…. starts to gather drops of hope.

2.) Depression is a temporary state.

Now, true, that temporary state might be a day/week/month/year/etc. BUT! The thing to realize – doing damage to yourself is kinda sorta a permanent fix to a temporary problem. And I’m not going to jolly you out of depression in this post – some types of depression benefit from medications, others from exercise, others from talking stuff out with people who care.

Here are some resources:

3.) Family is NOT solely determined by blood.

Well, technically, I suppose it is. But during this thing called life…. you meet up with folks who touch your heart and walk with you, side by side, thru the good times and bad. If you’re feeling utterly despondent, reach out to these peeps as well.

4.) Holidays approaching?

Cope with this!
Not everyone views the holidays as a joyful celebrations – lots of times, families will be toxic with one another, memories of loved ones will attack and the like.

Here are some holiday copings:

And finally….

Always but always internalize the following.

You are NOT a self-supporting organism like, say, a coffee cup that can be replaced by zillions of others fresh off the assembly line!

Your presence in this universe touches ‘way more people than you could ever realize. Friends, family, loved one, colleagues, stray mooses, rescue TwitterBudgies and the like.

And if you ever give into the desire to do permanent damage to yourself, you’re NOT you’re not making everyone’s else life easier. Instead, you’ll be hurting the ones who love you the most.

Life sucks sometimes. It really does. But there is always that light at the end of the tunnel, and only YOU determine if it’s a train coming at you. I choose to believe that every miserable feeling thrown at us by the Universe is our guardian angel’s way of saying, “Yo! There’s a lesson here for you to learn and internalize because it’s going to phoenix you to the person you’re meant to become. But because you’re so gosh-darned stubborn, I’m going to make you really WORK to learn it!”

Give yourself the gift of believing in yourself, folks. When the times get massively ickified…. it’s okay to take time to rebound. It’s okay to stumble and fall. AND… it’s okay to ask for help and give yourself permission to pull yourself out of it.

Because the world would be a far dimmer place without you.

Never forget that.

And that’s a promise you can take to the coffeeshop for a virtual extra double latte. ‘Kay?
