We Quit Cigarettes

Get well, then go to school. :hugs

But first force yourself to go for a walk. Look, I know what this is like. I struggled with depression most of my life and still have to fight it off once in a while. For me it is an addiction. For some it can be the result of hormonal imbalances or even organic brain malfunction, but for all of us it is a thing that can be fought and can only be fought by the very person under its attack. Others can come alongside and offer support but the only person who can slay your personal dragon is you. It is in the act of slaying that dragon that you heal yourself. Being the dragonslayer--becoming the dragonslayer--this becoming IS the act that slays the dragon.

It is incredibly difficult I know, yet you are the man (the only man) who can do this thing. The brain becomes addicted to that dark forest the dragon has cast you into, but the forest of hateful, dead trees, is entirely subject to you. You can change it to a healthy, beautiful, light-filled elven glade full of friends and feasting. It is after all, made up of your very changeable neuronal patterns. Every thought that blows through that forest alters it in some way. Make those ways good. Choose. Choose the good even though everything in you both hates and longs for the pain. You can do this. I did it and you can and must do it too, for your life.

You see, people who think they long for death, they're really longing for an escape from the death they're living in. You can beat this, but to do that you must fight it. There is no way around it--you have to battle your way through, and sooner or later you will. Do it sooner. Choose life--real life, not some morose, mere existence. It is in your hands to do this.

Love this! So beautiful and well said. :love

True, there’s nothing wrong with being interested, I find all this stuff interesting too, but I think the problem comes from trying to diagnose yourself from these tests and/or Google and worry yourself half to death over the results. ❤

BTW I use Ecosia, because I like the idea that they plant trees If I search for information.
