To anyone going through depression right now, I just want to start this writeup by saying you are not alone. I know what it feels like to be depressed or isolating it can feel truly understand you. If you're surrounded by people that have never experienced depression and you don't know who to turn to, well this is for you and I want you to overcome those internal obstacle cause that's what depression is all about.

Depression is a void, it is a lack and there something within you that is missing and maybe you're trying to fill that void with superficial or surface level things, a lot of people think that money or success can cure depression, a lot of people think that relationship can cure it.. Your ability to cure your depression is not contingent on anything outside of you, it is solely on you to make that decision for yourself.

First off, embrace where you are right now and understand that it will get better, you will go in deep and the most darkest place you become so scared of making it alive. But it's a little less scary when you have some type of guidance.

You have to be aware that there's a void that needs to be filled up, give up on any baggage that wouldn't allow you grow because when you stagnate that could even lead to depression in itself. When you know you are much capable than where you are right now, it seems to you that you are a big failure,m and you really don't navigate properly. But hold on! What if you are the thing that's missing, and there are a lot of yourself you still need to introduce yourself to..

Embrace yourself, it's fine to say to yourself that you feel depressed coz that's when you know you are and it's time to find acceptance. Then you can start moving to a different direction, the most beneficial direction is to immediately seek help it assistance to break the little feelings left in you.. The best way to solve these problem is to put the problem in a better hand that could solve it and your daily lives can change... You can build love and happiness again, anything you say to people about the reasons for being the way you are remains with that person so please don't be shy or constraint to do that..

Invest in yourself in 2022, because if you don't it's going to be same... happiness is missing, joy is missing from the picture. I had a friend who was at the brink of ending his life at 18, he felt like death was better than life and quite funny though he doesn't know what is after death.. You and I can help in our speech, in our advice and our approach towards these people.

Love yourself, turning your feelings to meaning... You must make room for one to exists, its more like when you worship the human brain experiment conducted proper that worrying cannot dwell when the mind is focused on worship.. This happens when you feel that void with love and you'll be good. It dosent happen overnight, it may take days or weeks to fully get back to the usual coz you love yourself. Once you find yourself, try not to go back. If you can get off this, you can lead some people out too.. The more you do that the better you become as well.

This is ‘love series’ second edition and a matter of peace within. Let it be the real you that we see and not someone who is lost in space.. The community cares for you and the world still cares, maybe just few people regardless you'll be fine.

Thank you for staying with me till the end, I believe this has been able to make you smile just a bit and even as you make up your mind to fight through this will be your season to be completely free. Anybody can be faced with this, and even leads to much more dangerous act…. Before you get soaked in, make an impact “do not allow your situation to define you but be your own high definition..”

We always have to look for ways to fight depression, at home we try not to be depressed by events, we are not allowed to get depressed. There will always be a way out.

I do pretend just to be fine with anything, but I feel so bad inside and broken.. the main question is do people around care about you and I so much to make it better, or probably make it really bad.. I can relate with a person who is depressed and decides to keep that alone..

I agree with you that there’s a way out and it’s time be free…

I can tell you that I count mainly on the family, if we notice someone depressed, we look for a way to get them out of depression, we encourage them, that's why I say that we are not allowed to get depressed.

So Sorry for misunderstanding your initial write up… family is a strong bond and we can help each other become better.. there are times that even family members would know nothing about the situation… I pray God helps anyone going through this

Sometimes I feel depressed and that's because a comparison thought pops to my mind,,, but I've learnt how to kill it. Whenever depression comes knocking, I usually look at myself and I usually give it to myself with "I'm better than some people" Be joyful always!

People say money can't buy happiness well, but money sure is a catalyst to happiness. Lack of money also causes depression.

I love the point you raised about investment.

It's never a good idea to become depressed. It's a significant mental disorder that can make a person's life difficult. It can lead to emotions of misery, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that linger for a long time. It can also cause physical symptoms like as pain, a change in appetite, and sleep issues

Chai, this topic ehn. Is a grat one that news serious addressing. Many people go through a lot daily which might lead to depression. The cure I see is that we wave off everything that might lead to it, stay around people that matters and would stand by you through thick and thin. Love yourself and know that the problem you face is just for NOW, there's a better tomorrow for you. And you can't afford to lose that tomorrow to depression.

Depression is really a terrible thing. Especially when everyone sees you on the outside as strong or happy. You wouldn't have anyone to lean on.

That’s true, irrespective of how we feel if we don’t want to be free we can never be.. it’s time to be at peace with ourselves instead of dwelling on the past. Most of these things are due to one thing or several things from the past. It’s even more alarming now

The worst thing about depression is that most people don't even know that's what they are suffering from. It shares similar traits to sadness, boredom and loneliness but the difference is that it is hard to come out from and ironically, all those feelings I mention can sometimes lead to depression

"First off, embrace where you are right now and understand that it will get better"

What people don't know is that they think their problems cannot come to and end and so, they conclude to be depressed and stay on one spot whereas, they need to understand that problems are temporary and things would be better.

We need to love ourselves too.

Fighting against all odd situations and then smiling is a real tough thing. But we do. We smile so that people think we are all ok. Depression departs slowly and we live with people while working for them. This is true sacrifice.
