Mental Depression To Suicide| Part 9: Adopting and Adapting To Others Mental Trauma|

Some individuals cope with mental trauma by numbing themselves with substances, mistakenly believing intoxication offers a cure. Ultimately, suicide often appears as the ultimate escape from depression, a perspective many tragically share.

Have you ever felt an inexplicable draw to the problems of others? It's not envy, but a compulsion to share their burdens, perhaps seeking solace or strength through their pain. This pattern often involves befriending those struggling with depression, hoping their suffering might somehow alleviate your own. It's akin to fighting fire with fire, a misguided attempt at self-preservation.

By absorbing the pain of others, you may feel a temporary sense of purpose, believing your own struggles are less severe. Yet, this borrowed burden soon becomes overwhelming, revealing a deeper-rooted issue.

You might question why you, a person in pain yourself, would gravitate towards the suffering of others. Is it a desperate attempt to dilute your own depression, or a perverse desire for connection through shared despair? The answer is complex and often elusive.

The individuals you emulate often find temporary relief through substance abuse, a form of slow-motion suicide. This cycle of self-destruction, though different from your own, reveals a shared desperation.

Ultimately, the allure of suicide as a final escape from both your own and others' pain is undeniable. It promises an end to the overwhelming weight of suffering. However, the question remains: Is this truly the answer, or is there a path to healing and recovery that lies beyond the darkness?
