~ The Story of a Pothole ~
This is a meaningful story shared by my psychiatrist. It serves as a reminder whenever I fall into the depressive POTHOLE again. Once upon a time, a lady, always fell into the same pothole in a familiar stretch of road while walking along it. She sought help on how to avoid falling into the pothole again. She practiced all the methods diligently and never gave up. It took her a very long time but she finally conquered the pothole and ‘RECOVERED.’ This is her eight-stage journey of recovery: 1.
Walked on a road... fell into a pothole...totally unexpected...pitch dark and scary...didn't know what to do?!?!
2.
Walked again on the same road and fell into the pothole...surprised that she fell again...but at least now she realized the reasons that made her fall again into the pothole...
