So know what you mean @Blackcloud, been there done that so many times.
You know what i found to be much more helpful than chasing those who do not help anything in the long run? This is to ALWAYS give love, compassion, forgiveness, kindness and care to myself hurting life down in my pit. The poor me, so lonely and cut off by a depressive mindset pounding, without succumbing to self pity only ever amplifying my pain, but holding onto the goodness of the love i know, no matter if i cannot feel this goodness at the time.
And so i resisted agreeing with the 'voices' of hopelessness, only ever fuelling more hopelessness, and despair, only ever creating more despair, and sadness only ever increasing the depth of my suffering, holding onto the voice of love and letting love, compassion, kindness and forgiveness for myself dominate my feelings instead.
Made a world of difference over time let me assure you.
i wrote a poem about this process
Feasting My Good Life.
Wicked lies captivated my truth
the truth of my heart and mind
and wound me around their untruth
knotting me out of my own reality
into the dungeons of torture below.
Unable to unravel their cob webs
wicked lies took control of my life
and brought much pain and misery
feasting on my God given good life
at the expense of my own welfare.
Yet when true love light lit up my night
i saw love rule from the clouds of heaven
Seeing wicked lies springing their traps
thinking i was as good as dead
trapped in their nasty web of lies.
Yet the truth of love came alive within,
killing those inner goats great and small,
setting me free from the lies controlling,
giving me back the ability to love true,
and feast good times growing a New Life.
