The Downward Spiral


I smile…I laugh…I feel good…
I’m with my friends...I’m at work...I’m at school…
I’m confident…I’m poised…I’m secure….

But then….
Some stupid rumor…
Torment…
Hurt…
Anguish…
Misery…
Agony…
Suffering…

All it takes is just one thing…
just one thing..and then I’m falling…

down….

The power of a word!! It must be so hard for you that people are talking behind your back or maybe even not. I'm so sorry for all the pain you are going through. I wish I could wave a magic wand and push it all away but alas there is no magic wand. Just my prayers that things start getting better and easier for you.

I know how awful it is to get stuck in a downward spiral, how you can fight with all your strength against the vortex sucking you down into its depths, but it saps you of your strength and will to fight it and pulls you under. And it doesn't even have to be anything huge or momentous that pulls you down, which sometimes makes you feel even worse, because you feel like you should at least be getting upset over something more "real". Oh dear...I really hope you can pull yourself up and out soon.

Please don't let these thoughtless,insensitive people control you. You are worth more than gossipers!

It takes so much effort to stay up and strong...yet so easy to fall...

I can totally relate to what you're saying. Everything can be going great, and then BOOM...one stupid comment and it's all over. The good times can be so tenuous...wishing you the strength to keep your chin up...and SMILE :-)
