Saw this on a friend's Facebook page the other day and knew I had to post it here. The words in this photo will no doubt ring true for anyone out there who is dealing with or has dealt with depression or knows a friend or a work colleague who has done so or for people coping with a serious illness or disease like cancer, diabetes or heart issues.
People will always find different ways to cope with a bad situation, be it health or otherwise related and 'masking' their true feelings is one way many do this. Sitting back and judging those who do so is not our right or job, recognizing what is going on and trying to help should be our duty.
In July 2007 I had a heart attack with cardiac arrest that required 29 cardioversions/resuscitations and resulted in three stents for a 100% blocked right coronary artery and a triple bypass for blockages on the left side. I HAD NO PAIN OR CLASSIC SYMPTOMS and later found out that this is not uncommon for diabetics. It is this message that I want to promote in this blog plus my recovery process including lifestyle changes and my dealing with denial, depression, anxiety and ongoing health issues.
