A person who is burning out is not, on the surface, a very sympathetic figure.
He or she may be cranky, critical, angry, rigid, resistant to suggestions,
and given to behavior patterns that turn people off.
Unless we're able to probe beneath the surface and see that the person is really suffering, our tendency will be to turn away.
No one likes to be faced with suffering,
people tend not to know how to act around it,
it reminds them of their own shortcomings
of the suffering they've caused themselves
and it's quickly referred to as weakness of the sufferer involved,
when you're hurting,
you must be weak,
I vomit at the mere thought of that,
people who actually suffer
who actually are in pain and still remain on their feet
they're not weak,
hug them,
and tell them you're proud of them,
proud that they're strong enough not to hurt others to get rid of their pain,
proud that they are suffering to keep the rest of the world from going down with them.
Because that's what people fail to see,
people in emotional distress
are people who care
they're the ones who'll help you when you're in your darkest hour
and they'll take your pain
and carry it for you.
