Sometimes you find yourself in an impossible situation. Well, it seems that way. Those moments in our lives can lead to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.

In school, I learned that depression is anger turned inward. Maybe there are external circumstances that have you pissed, but you feel there’s nothing you can do about them. This feeling, and ruminating on the situation, often leads to that anger turning inward.

This was me… has been me for the last few…. ummm…. pick an increment, any increment. It just keep getting worse, until yesterday, I hit my brink and unloaded all of what was upsetting me on a family member and they met me with love…. and oddly… solutions.

I never really share how I’m feeling for real because I don’t want to make people feel bad. But yesterday it all just came out and it actually turned out that the thing that was really hard for me, was simple to someone else, so they effortlessly took it off my plate!

I didn’t even see that as a possible solution. And if I hadn’t just said f*ck it and said all that was on my mind, I’d still be spiraling deeper into depression.

Sometimes solutions are around us and it takes us releasing control to access them. I’m not encouraging you to lose control and go off on people, but maybe there’s room for a little more honesty. Facts, not accusations. How you’re impacted, not what you believe are others intentions.

Sometimes our loved ones can’t support us because they don’t really know that we’re struggling.

Sometimes being the strong one comes back to bite us. We wonder why no one offers to help, but whenever anyone asks us how we’re doing, we say we’re “fine,” “winning,” “blessed and highly favored.” It’s not that we can’t affirm those things, but how will someone know to offer us help if we always seem to be handling it?

Granted our vulnerability is not for everybody. But it should be at least somebody in our crew that we can tell….

Anywho… check out today’s podcast. I share my recent experience and how things turned around so quickly because I was vulnerable enough to say I was struggling.
