As someone with a long-drawn depression which got worsen by various drug (ab)use, all I can say this is spot on. Pretty much all of my life I've been running away from problems because I didn't know any other way. Instead I tried to solve the problems around me, especially when it came to helping people that I love, for instance trying to repair a dysfunctional family. I think a part of what took me so long to realize is that it felt too egocentric to go "you know what, I need to put ME ahead of all the others". I guess somewhere along the line I realized that the current Me wasn't good to anyone.. especially not myself.
Im watching here because I want to help my brother, How I can do to help him. Im praying he will help himself and agree to me that he needs to go to rehab. I am honestly broken hearted
