Fear of life

can cripple us

Just a feeling of being unable to cope

Not able to do anything

The period in our lives when everything is beyond us

Feeling paralyzed

No we do not escape such times

All of us find ourselves lost and down at some time or other

It's the nature of life to put us through tough times

No matter who you are you will go there one way or another

Life is designed in such a way that we all have to face ourselves

The dark night of the soul some call it

No matter the name the feeling is one of absolute depression

Did you come out or are you still there?

Some come out after a while and others stay, their lives ruined

Nothing can help those who do not ask for help

One of the great lessons of life is to understand this

If someone does not ask for help then there is nothing much to be done

Sure you might stop them doing something too extreme

You might commit them

You might keep them doped up

You might nurse and talk to them

Devote your lives to them

You might for a while stop them doing injury to themselves

For those facing friends, partners or relatives with situations like this

Accept that everyone has the right to make their choices

Insane as this might seem it is their right to refuse help

Their right to deny their problems

Society may have rules to deal with the most severe outcome

However these are only temporary actions

At the end the person refusing help will go

And this is a life wasted

Maybe maybe not perhaps at the end they see their mistake

It is their choice

Difficult for those who love or try to look after them

It is as it is

If we did our best then that is all

Fear of life is difficult to experience and maybe even more difficult to observe in others
