..What do YOU say..when someone askes you this question??....
Seriously...if you are having a bad day..and someone says to you.."hi there..how are you today?"
do you say..through gritted teeth..
"yeah..i'm great thanx..couldnt be better!"...
..or do you tell the truth..
..and say..
"Well..actually..i feel pretty crap today..i hate the weather..my kids are playing up...i feel like a failure...i don't feel appreciated...i just want to sit and cry my eyes out...!!"...
well....the answer usually from most people..is
"hi..yeah..i'm great thanx..everythings good...."
and WHY??
BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE SAY "HI THERE..HOW ARE YOU TODAY??"
they dont ACTUALLY want to know..or to listen..its just polite to ask..and they are used to doing so...
all they want to know is that u are ok coz then their life is easier and they dont have to deal with you
SO....
you smile sweetly...and say your ok..and hold it all in....!!!
DEPRESSION IS A VERY LONELY , MISUNDERSTOOD AND IGNORED ILLNESS...
HOW MANY SUFFER IN SILENCE??
WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TODAY.."HOW ARE YOU TODAY"
ASK AS IF YOU MEAN IT AND ARE PREPARED TO LISTEN TO THE ANSWER, AND AT LEAST TRY AND SYMPATHISE..
NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE DO!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADD A LITTLE SUNSHINE..MAKE SOMEONES DAY..JUST ONE PERSON MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
HOW ARE YOU TODAY??
