Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My whole life I've struggled with depression. I just have, I'm not looking for any pity, it's just the way it is. I tried to kill myself once a long time ago but fail, ended up in the hospital and then a long line of psychiatrists and psychologists, that of course being after I was institutionalized. I've been suicidal as long as I can remember, there's not a day goes by that the tempting whispers of sweet release don't invade my mind. But when I moved in with my cousin and aunt some odd years ago, and she started showing signs of depression, I felt responsible. When she started cutting herself I blamed myself, she saw what I had done to my wrists and copied me. I made it my mission in life to overcome the depression for her sake. To show her that things get better, yet it's all been lies....
Now, she is about to graduate high school, and she is living. Like really living. I know when I was in high school I wouldn't of understood if someone close to me took thier life , but I think she's finally old enough to understand. I've never felt more suicidal in my life. And I don't feel like I have anything holding me here any more. I know it will still hurt her, but her being the only thing keeping me from ending it, Shea her own personal know, she is grown into such a beautiful young woman and I couldn't be more proud. But my life is, and will always be at a stand still and I'm not going anywhere in life, so what's the point anymore. I've never felt so... lathargic toward ending my own life. So indifferent. There's always been some kind of fear... but I don't feel anything anymore.
"Why really have I come to this world and what purpose do I have to accomplish?"
You see...most often than none, people get depressed when the above question isn't asked nor answered.
Unfortunately, some who answer the question don't do so convincingly nor follow up a plan to actualize it.
But when the question is answered and followed up, a clearer picture of the way to fulfillment and happiness springs up in the mind as you remain focused down the way.
Such clarity of answer helps remove the negative clogs in the mind occasioned by factors that often induces depression such as unhelpful associations, bad relationships, jobs that suck, family issue, low self esteem etc., gradually and unconsciously, the mind is re-positioned to work in line with your discovered purpose for value and fulfillment.
Everyone alive at this time of the 21st century have got reasons far from negative to be here.. Seek help, for courses or programs out there that can guide you some are very effective towards overcoming the situation.
