Hey Heathershenhouse
The words that make me want to cry.... "I suffer from..."
Sally was having a bad day and boldly proclaimed on Facebook that she was "suffering from depression." She went into all the reasons why her life was terrible, how she had no friends, and how broke she was financially.
Sally became super defensive whenever anyone tried to give her some advice, uplifting words, or encouragement. Sally wanted to suffer and nobody was going to deny her that.
I'm not saying depression isn't real. I am however saying that suffering is optional and that you should never utter the words, "I suffer from" again!
Don't take ownership of suffering. At the very least say "I am experiencing _______ right now."
I live by the phrase "this too shall pass" and even if it's something that absolutely will not pass, I "live" with it, not "suffer" from it.
You can live with far more than you can suffer from.
Your words have exceptional power over your feelings, don't "suffer" when you don't have to! Hardships, heartbreak, and sadness come with living, don't add suffering to life as well.
