They say a human being can survive anything as long they see the end in sight of an accomplishment.
But depression is that monster that takes away your ability to even see. It ends up making you blind, losing hopes.
A year back I used to think that depression is a very big word and people just use it whenever they are sad.
And it didn’t really make sense to me,
but when I sailed through that boat, I somehow realised how being sad builds up to feeling depressed.
How being sad and irritated ruins your hope for a new day and a new start, how you don’t feel like waking up from your bed all day long because you feel there is no purpose.
I believe the major reason for a human being to live is purpose. And if there’s no purpose there’s no hope to live.
When you find purpose, you find happiness, and if there’s no purpose, then no amount of money, fame or limelight can give you that happiness.
I say this because I have had days when I had no purpose to wake up, to do things or go out.
All I ended up doing was to be sad and irritated and not talk to anyone all day.
But then it went on for so long that I had to help myself somehow and the only way
You can help yourself in such situations is by reaching out to your loved one’s and talking to them.
Every individual needs five VALUE that is :
V – Validation
A- Acceptance
L- Love
U – Understanding
E- Encouragement
These are the basic values that any person suffering from depression requires and you can be that person to help them out.
All they want is someone to say ” I’m listening, I understand and I’m here for you”.
And honestly I’m glad I had my hero who gave me these values on my worst days.
Does this make you realise how important your mental health can be?
Depression can be as painful as physical pain and one out of five people commit suicide because of this unbearable pain.
Just as you go to a doctor for any physical pain. why can’t you visit a therapist for your mental illness?
Isn’t it equally normal?
I believe people who proudly own their medication and mental illness in front of the world are real hero’s because it takes a lot for an individual to show his pain because no one wants to feel vulnerable here.
To help you guys out I have found some helpline numbers.
if you are going through any of this even a slightest inconvenience that makes you feel you have no purpose, talk to your close ones or therapist, when you talk you realise how important you are and you were born with a purpose.
I even found out a site that helps you through. it is called Blurt.https://www.blurtitout.org/2020/04/15/project-quaranzine/ . This site sends you all sort of motivation and positive quotes to remind you that you are important.
I even found a site link where you can use this link to reach out to therapists at anytime.https://www.justanswer.com/sip/mental-health?r=impact%7C411371%7CMedical%20%28Mental%20Health%29&clickid=SwDzK7W-cxyOR710O7XQxx3QUki3%3AB0cxTJc2k0&irgwc=1
Lastly, I would say you’re important, you are loved, someone is praying for you.
Everyone has bad days but you’ll get through it because it’s not the end, if it’s not good.
You are strong and brave enough to fight this.
Help yourself and your loved ones through this because every life matters.
Spill the tea!
