Have you ever seen someone around you who needed to be talked to but could not say it. Someone who just got silent but ready to scream from inside.

Did you ever feel – talk to me!

Did you hear the silence which said – talk to her /him!

Did you ever talk to someone till the point they broke down – broke down to pick themselves up.

Depression is an emotion which takes you in a dark illogical  kingdom with no specific reason. Sadness is not depression and is a transient feeling where you feel better when you are able to cope out of the difficult and adverse or painful situation or circumstances, depression can pop up from anywhere even if you are on the top of the world. You are at loss to understand the reasons. Everyone around you seem happy and successful, only you are the exception .

Depression is an expression which hides the real you and brings all “D’s” in your life. Disenchanted, disheartened, disappointed, dissatisfied, distressed, disturbed, disabled, disillusioned and above all disempowered. 

Have you felt this way anytime in the past or present? If yes, then fight it. Fight it with just one person at your side. You cannot do it alone but have faith in your loved ones and have just one confidante who is near you, if not near you , then has time to talk over the phone or skype. Talking takes off the burden sometimes. It is just a passing moment if you open up and we think it is there to stick forever – do not prolong the clinical depression. Talk to your friend / family member. Don’t suffer alone, don’t magnify a trivial situation and make it the biggest heartbreak for yourself. We just don’t see reality when we are in pensive mood.

 Have you observed, we see blurred when our  eyes are welled up with tears. Nothing stays forever, not even the worst of times. If ever you are going through such rough patch, pick up the phone talk to someone. And for friends who think they are friends of their friends, then talk to your friends when you have not heard from them for long, they may need you but they were too depressed to pick up the phone and talk. We have lost many such lives due to depression where the depressed feels like victim due to something going wrong in their lives. But this can be cured if we get to talk to each other more often and explain. Everyone has problems big or small. We need to fight such situations.

We human beings cannot live in isolation and are alive due to relativism. Every person on this planet needs someone or the other for spending his life on this earth. That is why God created Adam and Eve. He didn’t just create one, he created two.

Depression takes us to the land of negativity which is purely based on our imagination which is reckless and thoughtless. It can be overcome only by patient listening by someone and realisation by the depressed that reality is not what they are thinking, it is just figment of their negative thoughts. Life is beautiful and we cannot downgrade it, fight such emotion with someone by your side.

 Read, listen and watch something positive. And if you are too depressed, go out and help bring smile on to someone’s face who is as depressed as you and it will change your life.

 When you have pockets full of sunshine, darkness cannot scare you. Have that sunshine in your life – It’s free and for forever!!!

Cheers
