I was watching a movie.. It’s based on mental health and overcoming depression.. A specific scene caught my attention which I could just relate so much.. It was the scene where the therapist was saying that for feeling safe, you have to let go of all the fears... Fear of losing, being alone, fear of what will happen, how everything will turn out, what will I do... Well, I am talking about all the fears I have been living with.. They are haunting me like forever.. And, then he goes, you are living with this and they are affecting you in the worst possible way.. And, in order to escape, you tend to say goodbye to things before they can say goodbye to you.. More likely, you are scared to go through the same pains.. Believe me, these last two lines were just so relatable for me... That's what I have been doing.. My therapist had also pointed out this.. You have escape tendency.. Yeah, I do.. The most terrible part is the fear of facing the same pain... I have that.. That's how I grew the fear that it’s repeating... It’s just I don’t wanna feel that again.. It still haunts me... At the end he says, you should just let go.. Just say hi to your life and live it.. And,I could feel it.. It was a great movie... Planning to watch it again.. Never knew that a movie could help me find my depression patterns.. But, it did.. I feel pretty good and hopeful.. Life is indeed beautiful and definitely worthy of living.. My uncle had once told me, you know what life is like that... But, you can't just miss the chance of living this beautiful life... And, he was right... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #hopeful
