A group from my church are exploring mental health and supporting one another in those situations where life gets too much. Having resources and compassion can help a great deal. Across the blogosphere much is written about the subject and I will admit I don’t know it all but from my experience admitting you have a problem, getting help and even medication can help you through the tough times.
Personally I am dealing with depression so I am coping the best I can. There is way more to it I know but you know support and understanding is important. Bring those into the fold who suffer and make time to help and get help. This is the first I will post on this issue as I learn much more.
Sometimes you are happy
Sometimes you are just very sad
Sometimes you are secure
Sometimes you are scared to death
Sometimes you are rich
Sometimes you are wondering about bills
Sometimes you are the life of the party
Sometimes you are in the corner alone
Sometimes you are prosperous
Sometimes you are barely getting by
Sometimes you are fully present
Sometimes you are totally lost
Sometimes you are faithful
Sometimes you are agnostic
Sometimes you are attractive
Sometimes you are just not appealing
Sometimes you are good
Sometimes you are wicked
Sometimes you are where you should be
Sometimes you are dreaming about elsewhere
Sometimes you are the comedy
Sometimes you are the tragedy
Sometimes you are, well Sometimes
I don’t know how we keep up with our lives online because all the usernames and passwords to remember. Just think of all the apps on your phone and sites on your laptop/tablet that must have login information to provide. When you migrate to a new device you have to recall all that information to be able to use those services. Yes there are password managers and the like but you know those require usernames and passwords too. I am sure you have the same experiences too. Frustrating, oh yes.
A preacher, a musician, a poet, an actor, an athlete all have the power to command your attention and to influence you. You see them on a stage and you find yourself looking up to them. They have charisma and character that moves you. How you react to their message is totally up to you. Some you pay to see others you view for free. You give them your time and treasure to see what they will do. You follow them and wait to see what they do and say next.
They are in your hearts and on your minds all the time. They have your attention. Every move they make you will know it from your social feed. These people become part of you.
Personality is a powerful thing and you find yourself wanting to copy them. Being in their presence is a religious experience bordering on obsession. If they offer merch you wear it, own it and it becomes a uniform that you wear in solidarity with others who are doing the exact same thing.
How do you break free or why would you want to?
