not a joke, not funny
Depression is where we feel the saddest and loneliest where all hopes are gone. It is when we are on the verge of giving up. It is where most words of encouragement by other people will not matter because we know that they won't understand or even try to understand. We know that they don't care at all, that they just say these things out of pity or just felt obliged to say so.
There are different stories behind on people's depression. We have all been in different situations but similar paths and emotions. People might have targeted you in school, at home, on the playground or sometimes could even be at church. You become a target because people don't accept you for who you are: your ethnicity, social class, race, religion or by your looks. You become a target for being who you are and this is how you start hating yourself.
Or you just lost someone very close to you. You start questioning your existence and you mostly ask these questions:
Why me? What have I done to be treated like this? Does God hate me?
No. The problem is not you. The problem is with these people who keeps on belittling you, insulting you and beating you up! The problem is with the parents that raise these kids without proper discipline. The problem is with the community who tolerates these violent actions that then lead to drug addictions, much more committing crimes. These people might have had a bad childhood that made them the coward, irresponsible, immature and insensitive jerk or brat they are today.
Stay away from these people. Don't let them get to you! You are better than them and you are better than this. Our parents sacrificed everything for us to be alive and kicking today. Don't let one jerk mess the hell out of you.
Surround yourself with people that inspires you. Stay away from negativity and toxic people. Yes, it is easier said than done but always try and save yourself.
I have been in this situation and it is absolutely hard. But it made things easier when I started to accept that this is life and it is supposed to be tough. I stopped myself from having suicidal thoughts and I did these:
1. I started to understand that life is not meant to be easy.
2. I started to accept the problems thrown to me and use it as strengths.
3. I learned to be silly and told myself:
"Don't hurry, you will get there in your own time. Don't die in your own hands because it is not cute. Let us die fighting and enjoy this roller coaster ride!"
Also, if you are going through some struggles, stop saying "I'm fine".
If you want to talk, speak up first. Other people may also be distracted with the problems that they are currently facing, they might not have enough time to guess what your facial expression says.
IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE FINE.
Let us learn to talk and help each other out.
