I’ve always been strong, serene and standing. Resisting storms and blows without seeking emotional asylum or the right to embrace, I resigned myself to silencing my sufferings and demands, considering that failure was already assured if I did not do things as I was established, I have always been strong, so I broke like never before, one day, without being able to control.
I refused to shed tears and accumulate emotions, they became what they call isolated symptoms of illness, although I kept thinking about the price to pay for an environment I asked for and demanded without receiving anything in return.
- I set no limits on the emotional support others demanded of me.
- My limits were broad and spacious for others.
- And yet my emotional space became arid territory and barbed wire pointing towards me.
My other people’s strengths, my patient ear, my eternal concessions have become my private emotional prisoners. Everyone had the key to enter my space, and for me it was increasingly necessary to go for a break. When I realized, it had been a long time ago that I crossed the line that demarcates the humanly bearable, I kept believing that it was about being strong, without being strong.
Throughout my life I have kept silent hypocrisies, silencing complaints and mutilating the need for affection, when I wanted to leave, all my forces were abroad, had been acquired by different and isolated owners who no longer took them as temporary help. but as a way to turn my energy into your cane.
When people are weak, they are broken by the misuse of their inner life. You break inside, vegetatively. There comes a day when you can’t get up because your muscles aren’t responding, a depression triggered by the stress accumulated there, a panic attack there.
One way or another, sometimes it seems that we disarm with any kind of force, and we feel completely powerless in the face of what can no longer be named or explained, our resistance always has a limit, a limit that we have never been able to. establish in relation to others. Sensitive but self-sufficient people need to know the signs of an impending emotional crisis before it can occur.
In a recent study, the journal Annals of Internal Medicine explained the different strategies for combating depression and once again highlighted the poor educational work of some countries. The lack of coordination that exists in the joint treatment of psychological disorders by psychiatrists, psychologists and other health professionals. Professional.
The uncoordination that exists in the joint treatment of psychological disorders by psychiatrists, psychologists and other health professionals, makes suicide one of the main causes of death in the population, in addition to depression being the first cause of occupational disability in the years to come.
This situation leads to a climate of knowledge, in which uns qualified professionals take advantage of this approach, an intrusion in which the population suffers, sickened by the publicity of all kinds of inventions that aim to cure or help our minds function better, when a problem occurs. Some kind of scientific support is missing.
You have the right to be and feel sad, not always to seem strong, you have the right to impose limits on those around you, whether your partner, mother or child, you have the right to know your nature and to know that the human being has a complex emotional treatment and that each of us has a unique way of perceiving reality and seeking one’s happiness.
You have the right to break up and get back together; it will always be better than picking up the pieces that others leave in their way. You have a right to know that taking care of yourself is not selfish.
Not being strong all the time and not having to voluntarily endure the constant aggression of the environment prevents us from settling into a permanent weakness. To know that you have the right not to always get the best figure out of something that has long exceeded the limits of your patience is to arm yourself with self-affirmation to protect your space. To know how to be weak in time is not to break inside again.
