A silent feeling

juanlopezme — 2023-09-10 02:07:16 UTC

My experience began in 2008, when my maternal grandfather passed away. He had been suffering for some years until his illnesses took him away, but this is only the beginning of everything because from there come all the problems of this experience. Since his departure I began to experience some cases of depression and anxiety due to loneliness, since he was a very important person for me. As the years went by I realized what he meant to me and the way in which I was assimilating him. It was a very hard blow for me, and after I started to experience depression, health problems came because I started to lose weight, I started to feel sicker and sicker, but I didn't feel that I was sick. My mother was always very attentive to me and was a great support in that sad process. Whenever I went to see my grandfather I was not aware that he would not be around forever but I still ignored that and did not realize the things that were happening or would happen.
As the days went by, my fears and sadness began to take hold of me. My fear of losing another person was always present, I could go whole days without sleeping with a blank mind and the memory of my grandfather which I did not let go and I kept clinging to him. Those were years in which I always felt like I had nothing to look forward to, no matter how much I was able to sleep that day, no matter how much other people saw me smiling or happy, I was so destroyed and shattered inside because of my grandfather's death. Anything happened and the only thing I did was to cry in the name of his memory and in the name of the good times and I still did not understand how it was possible that all that affected me so much if they were only beautiful years, but I do not know why his departure was something that would mark me for life and would make everything so critical. It has been several years since his departure and today I still have him present in everything I do and after everything I have lived through, I asked him to help me get out of all the bad things that were happening at that time and so it was. Finally I managed to improve my mood and my emotional health changed to the point of knowing how to control those states of anxiety and loneliness that often invaded and even today invade my mind or my heart. I still remember a lot about my grandfather and I hope that from wherever he is. I am happy for all that I am thanks to him.

A different ending

After coming out of the great crisis of depression I was in, I was able to find friends and people who helped me to find a solution to one of my problems. It was not easy to discuss my problems with my friends but in the end they helped me to get out of it, my parents found out many more things and instead of judging me they helped me and now everything is better and much happier. My friends since all this also became more concerned about that part of mental health and now they also learned that it is okay to ask for help and let them help them when they have that kind of problems.
