What if I told you there were
Multiple sides to these stories
I’m about to tell you?
Just listen:
You see a messy bun or ponytail every day from the girl sitting in front of you.
She probably just wants it out of her face.
You see her with her arms crossed all the time.
She’s probably cold and doesn’t want to talk to anyone.
You see her holding her head and rubbing her neck in class.
She’s not the only one, we’re learning hard material.
You see her resting her eyes in the student center every day during her break.
She’s got a challenging major, you don’t blame her.
You catch a glimpse in her room and see an unmade bed and stuff everywhere.
She’s probably just a messy person but that’s fine
Let’s hear it from the other side:
She wears her hair up every day because she doesn’t want you to see just how bad it is.
She doesn’t want you to see how greasy her hair is because she hasn’t had the energy to shower
She crosses her arms because it’s the only way to hide her shaking from you.
She doesn’t want you to see how uncontrollable it can be.
She’s holding her head because she can’t get rid of her throbbing headache.
She’s rubbing her neck because the pain won’t go away.
She’s really trying to catch up on lost sleep in the student center every chance she gets.
Her new medication doesn’t help her any.
She hates how her room looks, she’s disgusted by how she’s living.
She wants to change but she doesn’t have the energy or the willpower.
I know this girl because that girl is me.
That girl wants to change but feels stuck and powerless.
That girl tries to get help but nothing seems to work.
She’s starting to give up hope.
And she needs someone or something to show her where to start.

Feeling Done.
I've been cutting again after three months "clean." I know it's morally wrong and physically destructive, but I'm at my wit's end. Over the past 6 y...
You said you’re starting to give up hope, which means that you still have some hope in you. Try to connect with those things that make you feel hopeful. It must be really hard to feel that way and it might feel like you’ll be stuck feeling that way forever, but it will pass. I promise. It sounds like you’ve reached out for help already which is a huge step. Don’t be afraid to ask your therapist or doctor to change what they’re doing to support you better. That’s what they’re there for. And if you don’t have a therapist yet, most universities have a free counseling clinic. You don’t have to go through it alone.
ReplyYou have said it Wonderfully! :) Once a teacher asked his student to go and bring a glass from the cupboard. The student went on. He had this problem with his eyes that he used to see two images of a single thing. When he opened the cupboard, he saw two glasses. He went back to the teacher asked for which one to bring. The teacher said; Have you gone mad? There is only one glass in that cupboard! The student was not ready to agree and he said he saw two. Then the teacher ordered him to go back and break one of them. He went on again. When he broke one, the other disappeared. He then realized what he saw as Two was only One.
" Our senses can't fully grasp the Reality " and yet how confidently we all trust on our own senses just like the student.
It is true that one can't grasp the full reality but it is also true that one should not trust on his own senses! It is the work of a Truth seeker!
You are that Truth-seeker, so let's not worry. People have their own way of going, let them Go...
With Love!
Replyif this was real . . .
she should sleep at night as early as she can (stop thinking just close your eyes)
in the morning, she should rink some water then have a coffee (eat your breakfast with freedom to control your own time)
after you eat, open your closet and pick somthing comfy to wear (she should, take a shower, you control the temp. of the water)
go out with a face you want yourself to see (new day, enjoy it without minding other people's thoughts, non of your business, you got a life to go on..that is your own business)
your breathing, you see nature, you hear them... (see? life is hope.. its everywhere...)
:) goodnight
