I was talkin to a friend today , and by friend I mean a good friend , the type of friend who would be there no matter what , the type of person who would leave food at your door when you come back from a spell in hospital ...... and that person at the moment is having a hard time so I spoke to said person at length about my own battles with depression and panic attacks and how I have learned a step at a time through talking and being honest to find a way to cope with and live through the bad times and to joyously celebrate the good !! As is often the case , its very hard to describe how you feel when you have these episodes , and very often later in the day I will think of a weird idiom to describe it .... (Is idiom the right word ?? , its very fancy so Ill keep it in) Its like .... Dropping a beer bottle on the ground and continuously cutting yourself trying to put it back together , when a stranger will say .... Why are you hurting yourself putting a beer bottle back together ??? To which you will reply Because its my favorite beer To which they will retort But the beer is spilled on the ground To which you will reply But I still need the bottle , why dont you understand that!!?? None of this will make Sense to most people ..... And perfect sense to others , Im not even sure if it makes sense to me , except that when you are in that state its almost impossible to explain to others why you are feeling the way you do ..... But we must try .... One sentence at a time ....
