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.

Top best ways to identify a true friend !!

FRIENDS Yesterday, I was watching a movie called, Tag , which was about a group of friends, anyways, the movie touched my heart and made me realise that how important your friends can be in your life. We tend to forget the importance and place of friends in your life in this hectic lifestyle. We have to understand who matters the most and who doesn’t.  We have to prioritize our work schedule as well as our social life. Optimising the social life is equally important as optimising work space. Life is highly influenced and affected by the group of company we keep. There being both positive and negative side to everything, friendship also has its pros and cons. I have seen how people help their friends in need and do anything they can, but also I have seen how a friend can destroy just because they have a grudge and doesn’t show it to you. People wearing mask while being a friend is the worst thing which one could possibly experience. People have to understand whom to cho...

You can!

Dreams Dreaming is an action which is generally done when we sleep. Dreams are the creation of our sub-conscious mind. People tend to see things which may or may not be related at all. It’s a weird thing, but every time a experience a ‘deja-vu’, I always get a sense that I have seen it before in my dreams. I strongly believe that people can have premonitions or some sort of dreams which guide them in their real life. Dream are eccentric. But when talking about dreams or ambitions then these dreams are very much different then what we experience while we are asleep. Dreams or goals which you have are like those priceless jems which can lead you to become a successful person. I should nevertheless forget that not all dreams are approachable or valid, but sometimes we don’t realise the true potential of a dream, and quit it very soon. Just because you can’t think a way of reaching your dream position or destination, it doesn’t mean that those dreams are worthless or not...

Pain & Hard times

Pain & Hard Times Life is journey and you have to keep going. In reality there is no Goal or Destination you can reach in the end of this journey. The only destination is death. But is doesn't mean that we cannot live our lifes to the fullest. We are brought up in such a manner that we tend to believe certain things. Even though those perceptions or norms are not valued to derived by us, we blindly believe them. One of such view of the crowd is that good times and bad times are temporary in nature and its better to leave the hard times on its own as time heals everything. But does time really heals everything or is it the people who heal things? Pain and hard times make you suffer, and most of the time people are unable to handle that. So why is pain so destructive? It all leads to our own self, one can make or destroy oneself. If a person has a wound, he won't leave it by it self to heal because in that way it may heal or the situation may worsen. Similarly, if you...
