Coming back to life

pedrobrito2004 (67) in music • 5 years ago

These days I have been quite "offline" for various health reasons, although I have to admit that the biggest reason was a relapse in a depressive state that I have been trying to run away from for some time now.

Being depressed, in any degree whatsoever, does not help when you get sick, because the immune system seems to be depressed at the same time as emotions and everything that could have been a simple health discomfort becomes a problem that you Leave in bed for several days.

Now that I am improving and I have to return to activities, because I have left too many things pending, I suddenly remembered a melody that I had not heard for a long time, so I looked for it and it was very easy to find.

Pink Floyd - Coming Back to Life

In part because I also have to bury the past and come back to life, I don't want to give up and I have to get fierce from anywhere to get back on my feet. I will not say that my case of depression is strong, in fact I consider it very mild and that makes me quite happy, because if I were strong and fell into a bed, it could happen that I would enter a vicious circle of discomfort and greater depression when seeing the bad state that I am in, that could be fatal.

I now have so much thoughtful work, I have lost several businesses and I have failed several people ... I regret all that, but I cannot take the time back and fix that from the beginning, I can only try to solve from here and continue ahead. as they say an old saying of my land "it is useless to cry over spilled milk"

I want to thank the people who worried about my lack of activity and the colleagues who visited me at a time when I would not have considered myself a pleasant company, they are things that I really have to appreciate.

Dear @pedrobrito2004

I must admit, that lately I've been checking your account every day to see if you're still around and active. There were moments when I was worried, because of your lack of usual activity.

the biggest reason was a relapse in a depressive state that I have been trying to run away from for some time now

Sometimes the best way to deal with those things is to make yourself busy. And focus on things that will slowly start working well for you. On little smiles here and there.

I'm very sorry to hear that you're going through such a hard time buddy.

I have lost several businesses
What do you mean?

Yours, Piotr

Staying busy is a good trick, it's what I used to do, but when it comes to exhaustion and I try to continue ... well, that doesn't help and it adds to the fatigue.

As for business, what happens is that from time to time I do small jobs to supplement income, but in a decayed state I was not in a position to take charge and I had to apologize to the friends who used to pass me these small jobs.

Depression is a very common problem. I also have experienced it before.

It’s estimated that 15% of the adult population will experience depression at some point in their lifetime. Source

One of every 6-7, then. I think the worst period is the "middle age", approximately 45-55 years. But the source above also wrote, "Depression is very treatable." If not the doctors, maybe family or friends can help.

Thanks for the tip, at least knowing that it can be something common makes me know that I am not so bad :)

Dejar @pedrobrito2004

Like you, I have suffered from depression for many years; I am currently fighting with her and I can tell you that it is very important to keep busy to burn those bad feelings directly in the sun as the brilliant Pink Floyd song that you have referred to says.

The important thing is that you came back and that now you can move on, and here you have a colleague who will always be willing to give you his helping hand to listen to you. Cheer up brother! ☮️

Thanks for the comment, in these cases it is good to know that you are not alone or that one is not so rare, after all I am not one of those who want to suffer alone and without moral support from anyone :)

Hello dear teacher @pedrobrito2004.

I am very happy that you are back, it is really very difficult to act in those conditions that you describe, but it is necessary to get up and continue to fight in this world.

The situation in our country does not collaborate but we must continue moving forward.

I read somewhere that "staying alive is an act of resistance against adversity"

Also, I heard a piece of advice given to a fighter once when his opponent had humiliated him and threw himself against the floor: "Smile. The strongest 'Character' in this world is that of the idiot who smiles and continues fighting without giving up. "

So I try to take those ideas and get over things, after all, I am not a believer that if I fall I must stay on the floor. I can be a little pessimistic and somewhat related to the Cynical philosophical current, but beyond that, I am one of those who want to forward.

I do not know if it is a kind of joke of "black humor" of the universe, but I am trying to regain my mood and today my dog dies ... I was simply discouraged, then took a nap and when I go to check was dead , as if he had had a heart attack or something ... we are not in good health either, but we were not so bad either!
