Extreme Depression

This holy week has been pretty tragic for most of the people that I know. Last Maundy Thursday, a woman just from around the block where I live died. Based on what word of mouth around the block stated, she died because of the man that she loved.

At the age of 32, she became desperate to get married and live a happy life with the man that she loved. However, she felt betrayed. She found out that the man she loved for the past few years has been meeting other women behind her back. Since she caught her man, she got into deep depression. She locked herself in her room for days watching television and simply staring at their pictures. Often times, they could hear her scream every single time that she remembers the pain.

The problem is, she did not get over the problem. She allowed herself to suffer so much. She rarely ate and she totally forgot how to love herself. In a matter of days, her body weakened and she died in her sleep. I hope that her story serves as a lesson to all of us. She used to have a good life. Probably a close to perfect kind of life - a house, a great high-paying job, a family, lots of friends and more importantly, she had herself.

There are times that we cannot handle problems all by ourselves. In cases that we know that we need help, then we should find the people who can help. Therapists and psychologists will always be around to help and listen to our problems.
