Today's motivational quote is
images-6.jpg
This quote is essentially a metaphor for depression comparing depression to a battle where you either win or die. Why did I choose this quote for today? It's because I am going through this battle right now myself. I can't say whether I am on the losing or winning end, but what I can say is that it fucking hurts. I wish I could end it already but I can't. And that's what depression is really all about tearing a person up from the inside and breaking them down till they have lost the will to continue fighting. I have lost my best and only friend Dragon my dog, I have a hard time talking and interacting with people, not just girls too, and I haven't done anything meaningful or have anything really meaningful in my life. I have a bad relationship with my family and I have no friends now... the enjoy thing I really enjoy in my life now are just video games, watching videos and movies, and just finding ways to express myself such as using steemit.I have lost a lot of confidence, motivation, respect, and self-esteem in myself throughout the last few years of my life, but I am still alive and that means I haven't given up this war there is just something keeping me alive and I don't know whether that is a blessing or a curse, but.. the only way I will find out is if I live too. So, share your thoughts or experiences in the comments below. I would like to know what you people are also going through right now.
Anyways, have a good day and thanks for reading my post.
Love, Lil Willy

I don’t agree with that quote. Depression is not war and can’t be ended by fighting. What you resist persists. What might help is to stop judging yourself in such a a way that keeps you depressed and start questioning the standards against which you jude. You know from within that you are worthy beyond measure. Let go of the identification with the not very good in your life and identify yourself with the goodness in it.

Thanks for replying to my post I see where you're coming from, but stopping to judge oneself is part of the war.

Actually it is not. Stopping with the sense of surrender. Stepping back from fighting what is.

I think depression can kill in the sense that it eats u up till u not strong enough to continue fighting it .. @alignment I agree with you too but what about those who cant accept and learn to stop judging themselves??? Those are the very people who end up deing from depression..not just physical death but mental and emotional deaths can be a form too.
