Depression for me was realizing my whole life was about me

[Kenny-tlir]

Depression is the Ego refusing to die in the face of reality. Your self (conscious awareness) is fully aware of the fact that if the ego is out of way, it has unlimited power to change their situation, themselves and the environment. However depression is the Ego saying “you can’t, you have no power, you are weak”. It is struggling to come to terms with the challenge that reality poses, and is afraid of the opportunity to grow out of the defined Ego self by through overcoming these challenges. Depression is the Ego feeling threatened, because it is trying to protect itself from change.

Having had deep chronic depression and being unable to talk most people out of it, even though I know exactly how to get out . Is so painful. It is like most are just blind or don't want to see that it can get better

With this current job I start at 7 each morning, and arrive home around 6-10 pm, paid between 20 to 22 dollars an hours as a furniture removalist, and I'm only paid for the physical labour - atm working more around 11 days a week, and no extra pay on weekends or public holidays - I've quit multiple times but the boss urges that I return because I'm his most reliable worker for now, and I'd love to find new work, and have fear around this job, sometimes I feel immense frustration, but the boss says to not think too much, relax, but idk, if I end up with a bad back in later years I'll consider suicide instead of living life in pain and on medications, plus unsure if I'm wasting my life away or what, good God, and memories emerge and thoughts can be intrusive and always falling back on suicidal thoughts while doing best to remain positive with the mantra "everything is always working out for me" from Abraham Hicks,

Do You Practice Empathy Leo Wow As I actually suffer from mental health. I agree in part with some changing habits. Some of it makes me realise Your understanding of mental health is I would say purely academic. I have Emotionally Unstable personality disorder and complex PTSD. Is that laziness or egoic survival. Honestly. Wow I would say a level of ego and arrogance in over simplification. Depression and Suicide Bombers. Oh Well Not Happy. Patronising and Insulting

God is the Greatest, my soul get's strengthened by praising God's Greatness, there is no thing walking or flying more Greater than the Absolutely Greatest!

My Father! When You are away from me I feel sad, when You, the Most Glorious, come back, I become happy. I praise You daily, to my own good! I chant daily in Your name, to my own Good!

You show me Goodness and Love daily!! I cry because of You daily!!

Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!! Allahu Akbar!!

God is the Greatest!! God is the Greatest!! God is the Greatest!!

La illaha ilaallah! La illaha ilaallah!!

There is no god but God! There is no god but God!!
