You Get What You Ask For - So Seek What You Want

a reply to: Raggedyman

So you're going to spend your whole life seeking "Help" from others when they have their own problems? And believe me, no one is going to be there to hold your hand every minute of the day.

You don't think I understand depression and misery??
Read my last 20 threads. I barely even expressed how horrible everything went for me.
I spent years thinking about suicide everyday because I lost everything and saw no future or hope at all.

Depression is a choice, and I choose to conquer my Darkness and overcome.
I choose to WIN because I don't accept being a failure in this life.

You need to accept responsibility for your own life and DO SOMETHING about it.
If I can do it than anyone can. I never said it was easy, and I did say it's a battle everyday because it IS.

You HAVE TO WIN THIS WAR ON YOUR OWN!!!
It's Every Man for Himself!
If no one gives a # about you what do you do?
BE THE FIRST ONE!

There's a reason they call me


What's the Title of Your book?

For Real?????

You ought to change that title, here's a suggestion


Why?


Get UP you have a Life to Live!
Tomorrow is almost here.
Are you going to throw it away?

I sure as hell won't!
I got another fight to win.

If your mentality is you can do it, thats great

You dont represent everyone

I choose to help others if given the chance

"If no one gives a # about you what do you do? "
I choose to care for others

"So you're going to spend your whole life seeking "Help" "
Yes and offering others help, Yes I choose

"I choose to WIN because I don't accept being a failure in this life."
I choose to help others win and let them help me win

Years thinking of suicide, years, should have got help, it may have been less.

Anyway, it seems you got through it, it takes time as you well seem to know

So if I lock you in a prison with no contact with anyone, or let's say you got stuck on a deserted island -- who do you have then??

No one, except You.

Whatever "help" you're giving or receiving is good but it'll never be enough.

You can lead every person to the well but you can't make em drink. Each individual in the end has to decide on their own to help themselves.

What if your friends and family died or banished you over petty reasons one day and nobody wants to help you? What do you do?

I can't even count how many nights I walked down the dark alleys alone without a soul "there for me". Then I found Me. The Undefeatable Me.

I was always there for Me I was just too stubborn and pitiful to see it for a long time. I was so deep in denial and negativity and self-loathing and pity that I had 2 choices.

1) Curl up and die
2) Get up and fight

Hell, every single day I face that choice.
And I ain't down for the count. I refuse to just lay there and get stomped on.

If you can't help yourself than no one can help you and you can't actually help anyone. It's all a shallow hollow farce, a mere mirage.

You'll always be needy, clingy, and reliant on others if you truly believe that.

You gotta deal with you eventually. It's inevitable. You can't pretend you're a victim forever.

All these pills and doctors and running to others for help all the time - what a hollow life that is. Your credit will run bankrupt one day, I hope you'll be strong enough to weather that storm. Only you can survive yourself.

There's a time for everything.

There's nothing wrong with feeling helpless and hopeless, crying your Heart out, or needing to be Loved. Nothing wrong with it.

But you can't live there. That's where you die.

We need those painful moments so we can learn who we are and why we are here alive on Earth. So we can learn how to live a better life.

I know you're a survivor and a fighter - you're here alive today. That's all the evidence I need.

Even when you're at your darkest moment staring Death in the face you gotta remember this. You're gonna put up a hell of a fight. All you gotta do to win is smile.

Lets try and make this clear
Its not about me
There are others who need help
They should get help.
If a person is struggling, then see a doctor
You dont have to fight it on your own, people do care.

I dont disagree with SOME of your sentiment
But we live in a community for a reason

If the black dog is barking at you, get help

Seeing with the heart. These messages can open our eyes. Thank you for both threads. I believe all that mythology is just inner aspects of ourselves.

I never do with the elements, don't really understand them the same way. But maybe the elements are connected to the mythology aspects. But that should mean that they would need to balanced. Wisdom is air, but also flows like water and is love and feels compassion like fire and should be grounded in experience like earth?
