No One Can But YOU!

Despression is a horrible thing to go through and watching someone else go through. The words just aren't there to get them through, only they can learn to love themselves enough to get plunge forward with all of us waiting and praying for them when they return.

No One Can But YOU!
 
“I feel I have collapsed in on myself,” are the words you replied.
“What am I to draw from that?” When I heard them, my heart again cried.
I used every word I knew to try and pull you from this dark depression.
I gave more of myself than I had to give and learned a valuable lesson.
 
It’s not me you need, I can’t help you, and you made that abundantly clear.
By never taking one thing I said serious, you held tightly to your fear.
Don’t you see my friend, only you can pull yourself out of this despair?
Only you can decide if you want to find your happiness and begin to repair.
 
I will always be there along the way, but you are the one that must decide.
Whether living life is worth the trouble of or if you still want to hide.
I wish I could take all this pain from you but no one can but you.
So decide now my friend and I’ll be there when you break through.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

there is stark reality in this unfortunate dilemma, depression -- try as we might, support as we must, the individual in the final analysis will the ultimate decision make -- if too overcome it, shall be their will -- yea or nay -- such sadness in this write -- peace to you -- JMW

Depression is such a serious issue it that needs to be more reported and taken seriously.Also people who want to judge or criticize someone because of their depression are no better than anybody else.It is hard for someone that you love and care so much,sink down to lower levels and you can do everything in your power to help that person out,but it still won't work.I agree that at the end of the day,people should love themselves and get themselves out of a hole.Also they need love and support coming from family and friends as well that will get them to the next level of complete bliss and beyond.Take good care of yourself

Love and cuddles forever

Well done, I have seen depression and it is hard to watch someone you care about sink into that category.

True, its the self that has to make the decision...I made mine 15 odd years ago, and rather than suicide, I committed therapy and anti-depressants and am still on them, though sometimes I slip and forget them for a few days and boy do I get weird then...e

Great write, Bonnie; depression is nothing to meess with. I know. I suffer from it, but I try to rely on the Lord to get me through the darkest days. That's all I can do.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Happiness begins from within yourself. It's up to you to make yourself happy in order to receive happiness from others. That is how I see it. You are spot on!!!

Some people fell into despair like falling in a water well, ignoring that to get out they should grab the rope hoding the bucket down there.
