5 stages of grief are [can be] functional and adaptive https://t.co/8h76wNF0xZ
no one ever told me the 5 stages of grief are straightforwardly functional denial: yeah, sometimes "problems" are kinda fake and will go away anger: sometimes raising the energy to fight back solves it bargaining: sometimes you CAN make sacrifices, change things, and it's all good depression: feeling your feelings lets them process and pass on, very important acceptance: sometimes, you can't do anything but accept the situation - but honestly it's good to check the other options first
i'd say *depression is more about withdrawing and conserving energy from hopeless situations, and letting your inner voice speak to just how important this thing was, and let you know how important it is we don't move on without hearing out the soul https://t.co/Phbszk7nuY
@s0ulDirect0r sadness is so many things sadness tells me what's important it lets me know something im witnessing is wrong. when i see an animal in grief, and i can't help it, i feel sad-- my sadness tell me how important that is to me in the world
