depression

It is not just a matter of feeling sad; discover an honest view of the mental, emotional and physical toll of clinical depression.

To lose innocence is to lose the weapon against reality
Early in the morning, her old aunt carried her armchair out onto the balcony toward the sugar cane Field, as she did every time she woke up with the idea of making dolls. She used to swim in the river when she was young. One day, she was in the water when the river swelled with heavy rain and threw up a dragon-tail of water. She suddenly felt the fluffy snow in her marrow. Her head was buried in the dark echo of the stones, and she thought that over the sound of the water she heard the sound of the rolling waves hitting the saltpeter on the sand, and for a moment she thought that her hair had finally reached the sea. It was also at that moment that she felt something terrible bite her calf. People shouted and pulled her to shore, where she writhed in pain on a stretcher and was carried home.

Risk of depression!
There are many types of depression, such as major depressive disorder, the most common and severe, and dysthymia, which is weaker but lasts longer, We often hear of postpartum depression, common in Northern Europe such as seasonal affective disorder, and many other types. Since major depressive disorder is the most common, what we call "depression" in everyday life mostly refers to major depressive disorder.

drifting away
He had planned this day, this time and this location carefully. It wasn't a spur of the moment thing, most importantly nobody else was directly involved. He didn't want to leave anyone with the trauma or the guilt. This was all down to him and nobody else.

Don't expect will not be disappointed
I admire those people who can endure, hide their pain so deeply, and only share happiness with others. In fact, the sadness in the heart has already been flooded, but it seems that nothing has happened, the years are good, and everyone can laugh. Sometimes I don't know whether to "expect" or not. I want to say everything, but I still can't say anything.

The "Good Kid"
(Written in October 2019) Ever since the age of eight, she's always been “the good kid.” The kid who focused on her schoolwork instead of on fashion, boys, and parties. The kid who cared more for her little sibling than her sex life. The kid who is more likely to be seen with hot chocolate than with alcohol. She’s always been the kid that secretaries say “hello” to in the hallways, the kid to greet her teachers from past years a little too enthusiastically. The girl with the straight As, number two in her class, teacher’s pet, brown-noser, leads in the drama, National Merit Semifinalist, that kid. The one you probably detest.

On depression: no one thinks I'm sick, they just think I think too much
01 If you're depressed, it's useless to think about it Have you ever told someone to "lighten up"? Does it seem to us that if we look at things in a lighter light, life will be better?

Understanding Perceptions
Do you know that there is so much wisdom and knowledge in the world today that if we applied it in our daily life, we could solve all our problems in no time? But this knowledge is scattered and not integrated. You have to search for truth to find your way around.

"why is you depressed when you is a child"
This is my first story so bear with me.... I relate to this picture so much and i will tell you why. When i was in 5th grade i was feeling sad and disconnect in the world at that time i didn't know what it was called but, when i grow up more i was still feeling this way and i still don't know why because, in everyone eyes i had everything and it looked like i was happy, But i wasn't at all i was just hiding it so well from the world until my 8/9th grade year. During, Covid-19 when i was virtual going to 10th. That's when everything was falling apart my mental health was messed up and i couldn't take it anymore So, i told my mother which was a great and bad idea at the same time because, she was there for me more and she went told have of my family members.They tried to help me but it didn't last long i fell more into depression and i was diagnosis with anxiety. But that wasn't the worst part in February of last year i was diagnosis with type 2 diabetes when i am already a sickel cell patient. I cried for two days because, i don't eat candy i never liked candy at all so it was a shocked to me and i am also overweight. Which i am working on to lose weight.

Day 229
It’s funny how I spent two years thinking about killing myself, only to now be afraid of dying. And just to set the record straigt I never WANTED to kill myself–If I did, I would have done it by now. It was more of a curiosity than anything else, which is something I grew up to realize is not particularly normal. But now I’m medicated and everything is fine.

Between Blue Lines
Is it Selfish... ...to want to end your life? Many philosophers have suggested yes. But I'm not sure that matters in the moment of deep emotional affliction. Yet it has often been the very thing that kept me from crossing the line from one life to the next. If that belief helps you stay alive then it serves a holy purpose, but what happens when the guilt isn't enough to keep you going? What happens when the threat of hell and judgement isn't sufficient to override the dark cravings of death? If you're reading this then you've probably lived long enough to know that life gets problematic. Messy. Occasionally the mess becomes overwhelming. It becomes too much to process; to carry.

Counseling Is Listening Or Is It?
Before counseling, I was blaming the pandemic! It was what my mind kept telling me! I still think it's mostly true. In my life, many people I know are not operating the same as before the pandemic. How could they?
