Story Just a story i wanted to share

[DepressedAngel]

I just wanted to share a heartwarming experience that I had in case it helps make anyone else's day (or night) a bit brighter.


When I was in the mental hospital I met a trans boy who was severely depressed and had severe PTSD. Our rooms were next to each other, and we quickly became friends. One day I made him laugh very hard over something I said or did. That night I heard him singing softly in the shower. The next day he came to me and told me he hadn't sung in the shower for three months, because there was no point to life anymore. He said I was the reason he was singing- I made him happy. From that night until he left we sang duets in the showers at a mental hospital, and I made him smile.


Maybe that was a pointless story to share, but I just wanted someone else besides me to know that. And I thought it was very sweet that he finally saw a reason to live and maybe I had something to do with that

If we can't save ourselves it's alteast worth a try to save someone else.

That's not pointless at all. You eased someone's mental suffering. Maybe this will turn out to be a turning point for this person. Heck, you may hypothetically have saved this person's life. That's the very opposite of pointless.

Thank you, @Sensei. I hope I helped him, but I'm honestly not sure.

One way or another, you helped him. You can be sure about that.

Thank you for that :)

That's wonderful, I think you shared a part of yourself that was genuine, and you did something good in the world even if it might've seemed insignificant at the time.

In addition to that, a few years ago I learned about how singing can help the nervous system relax, music itself and especially dancing can do wonders neurologically and in my humble opinion, even spiritually...

if you connect with someone genuinely, and it's authentic on both sides, it's beautiful. Moments like that are actually timeless.

No matter what you do, or s/he does, you created a moment of beauty, in the most unlikely place.

I agree that music can help you spiritually, or touches you spiritually somehow. And yes, I love that even though we were both in a dark place, we managed to create beauty. I remember also singing with other friends in the hospital because everyone missed having music, and how surprised everyone was that we could be singing when we were there for such dark reasons.

That warms my heart, and makes me smile. You touched and impacted someone's life in such a way and I think that is beautiful as well as amazing. Even in our darkest moments, we can still provide love and warmth to others. And until the very end I want to provide people with warmth and love as well.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
