There’s more than one kind of Depression that experts can easily identify
by just understanding your situation and symptoms. Reading some articles that define
different types of depression, I can probably consider my situation before as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
This is a recurring type of depression that may result to a low energy,
oversleeping, crave in carbs, gaining weight or withdrawing from social
interaction.
Life will not always be at your favor;
there will be some instances that you will have to face challenges and failures
and I personally experienced these that really tested my perseverance. Family,
Career, Love and even my self-confidence are all considered dead in the water.
There was a time where my parents
do not support my decisions in life and they considered me as the black sheep
of the family and arguments are very evident every single day that resulted to
more complex situation and led me to living on my own. At the same time, I had
challenges on finding a decent job that will support my needs in order for me
to live with ease. Considering these two dilemmas made me think that I took a
wrong decision.
Building your self confidence and
finding your shoulder to cry on will still be your goals despite of being hopeless
on changing the way you live and to at least make you smile and continue
living. You tend to give everything to make your special someone happy and
satisfied but will just throw you under the bus instead. With all the efforts
and energy you consumed you are still consider yourself a failure. These
situations piled up and stabbed me from head to toe. That’s the time I started
feeling depressed.With everything happening at the
same time, you get to question your main purpose in life and ask him if this is
what he planned for you from the very beginning. It made me doubt that there
will always be a helping hand from him, it made me feel alone and it made me a
miserable individual.
Then one day I stood up and
gather the broken glasses, I created my support system coming from my closest
friends and they helped me dogged every bullet that will come across my way.
This approach helped me to be a better person as I am today. You still
encounter some challenges in life but you are at the stage where you always look
at the silver lining in every possible way to help you re build and be the
better version of yourself.
Most people nowadays are
experiencing the same situation and they don’t know how to deal with this
gracefully that may result on killing oneself. They will seek help from the
professionals to make them feel better if they have resources, but most of us
does not have this luxury that’s why we all have to understand that we take
every situation differently so we have to be the bigger person to help one another
surpass challenging situation like Depression.
