Depression
"This is what I am. I have periods of enormous self-destructive depression, where I go completely off my trolley and lose all sight of reality and reason."
~Siobhan Fahey
Now, before I continue with this blog, I would like to address that I am not a doctor or studying to be in psychology or psychiatry. This blog is based off of personal experiences, and I will continue on.
Like everyone else in the world, I suffer from depression. It can hit you at any time of day without you realizing, like a tornado going through a small town. You can go from being happy and carefree to emotionally drained and withdrawn. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the world today that suffer from depression, and have no clue about it. Some people blame it on "kids being kids" or just having and over all bad day, but they have no clue that ignoring this disease will only make it worse. I know for myself, that I ignored it because I thought the same thing my parents did, I was just a teenager entering puberty. That emotions are going to be everywhere because it was that "time of the month" for me. But I noticed and so did my parents that I was more depressed and withdrawn, that I didn't want to be around anyone and just wanted to keep to myself. I felt that I was slowly sinking in quicksand, that no matter how much I struggle and fight, I was steady sinking faster and deeper into the abyss. I felt worthless and it was to the point where I almost lost all will to live. But my parents got me help and through talking and other activities I felt better. But I still suffer from depression, and when it gets almost to that point I will talk to friends, family and even my pastor. Knowing that there are people out there that truly cares for me, allows me to open up to them about what bothers me. So if you believe or know that you suffer from depression, please talk to someone..anyone you trust. No one deserves to suffer in silence.
I hope that this blog helps all of you out. Please leave me a comment below and remember, it is better to be hated for what you are then to be loved for something you are not.
