The quicksand of life.


DEPRESSION

Depression is a state of being in which a person becomes less interested in living and also in taking part in any sort of activities. In other words he/she becomes inactive and succumbs to pains and loneliness, Many of you can connect to this if you have experienced depression of any sort. Now the question here is whether we  know what are the different kinds of depression and what causes it?


For me, depression is the outcome of prolonged period of pain and state of being hurt. It’s like cancer, if not treated at its early stages, then can be fatal. But can we differentiate between being depressed or just being upset for something? That is the first thing to check when you think you are depressed. One should see whether it is just one thing which went wrong which is making you upset or it’s many things all together that causing pain in your life. And if it is depression then one should seek help. But most of the times, while being depressed we tend to stay alone and break all our connections with the outside world and in that state of mind we don’t see talking to people as an valid option. That is the major issue here. We often think we should be alone and even if we are with someone or other people we try to blend in by just wearing a fake smile. That’s completely normal, I have done the same. But that is not the cure for depression. Depression sucks the life out of you just like a quicksand sucks you in. 

Reason may be anything but the solutions lies within us. Sometimes, you have to fight against your own self to survive. Depression kills you from inside and leaves you heartless from the outside. And we are helpless towards it. Only our loved ones are capable of seeing our condition and only they can help you to overcome it. But if in reality there is no one with a depressed person, which happens most of the time, the person does things which are not only unhealthy but fatal. And we all know that, most of these kind of people who are depressed tend to commit suicide which they think is the valid solution, but that only creates more suffering to your family or loved ones. There remains a constant war inside you when you are depressed. You seek help but no one is there when you need them.

People may or may not be the reason of someone's depression but they surely are the solution to it. We as a human being should try to prevent that. If we come across anyone who is thinking less of his life and is depressed than we should not simply give him a psychiatrist’s number but instead should spend time with him and make him realize that there is more to life than just living. I am grateful to my loved one, who helped me understand all of this. And so I wanted to share this to you all also. I believe depression is an illness and can be cured just like any other we just need attention, care and love.

THE REAL ME!!?

WHO AM I? A few days earlier, I was asked whether I am the same person in reality as I portray myself in front of others or I am different when no one is looking? Honestly I would not say that I am exactly the same in front of others as I am in reality, but to some extent my nature is similar in front of others as well as in person. Saying that, I should ask you to listen to me first before judging me on this point. I believe that nature should be handled properly. But first, lets understand what makes or defines our nature. Our nature is made or effected by how we our brought up, our surroundings and also by peers we keep around. And how we behave should be governed by the situation. For example, having a sarcastic behaviour or attitude in a situation which is sorrowful can be harmful. So here, I question whether being oneself in every situation is a good idea or not? Being same in every scenarios, does it really pays off or not? Should we be different in front of others or a g...

The Real Question.....

Is it enough already? What is the one question which we all need to ask once to our self and that is –When is it enough? When is it enough for us? Enough is when we have the sufficient amount to live our life peacefully. But for most of us just having enough isn’t enough. People works hard, putting their soul and heart, just to manage to get enough for them. But in the struggle of getting what one needs, one forgets when to stop. One after another, constantly wanting things, desiring needs, which are not necessary but seem so important for a moment. People are grabbing things like a drowning man to a slab of wood, hastily and without any thinking. This constant need of things after things makes the man greedy and ultimately leads to regretful ending. Now-a-days, our lives revolve around this constant desire. And it is never ending. Once we get something, the satisfaction of getting it makes us to get more of it and yet more and more. We don’t realise when we should...

What causes us to drift away from the real us?

Social erosion Unlike soil erosion, which is removal of the fertile layer of soil due to external factors, social erosion is removal of the good and happiness inside us due to the outside factors. The little part inside us which keeps us motivated for being happy and carefree about the outside world dies slowly when someone around acts like pollutant by being a complete demotivational. Telling things which you often don't realise but when you do you can't stop thinking about it. The most outrageous fact is that when any such thing happens then one starts questioning its own existence and becomes a part of the dull world of unfaithfulness, disturbance and grief. The self is strong enough to handle one or two such person but when the intensity rises, it cause erosion effect within us and leaves us bare. Such people who caused this unwanted situations are the main cause for social erosion.  Social erosion, is according to me, when you loose a part of yourself and turn dark....
