Depression

I have stopped my blogging for the past few days because I received a shocking piece of news. One of my friends chose to end his life because he has been suffering from his depression for a long period of time. According to my friend, this guy has been a low self-esteem person. He always feel that he's not good enough. As time goes by, depression starts to build within him.

It's really sad to hear this news... I always thought that he was just being an introvert person. Never did i think that he has suffered depression sickness within him. Most guys tends to take their pride and ego seriously. He might think that its his own problem and scared that other people will look down on him. Therefore, he appeared to be so normal. Recently, he changed his hairstyle and he has become more open to us... I couldn't understand what triggers him to choose his last resort...

There is one period of time, i have suffered from slight depression and i know that depression can be cured!!! Of course, you have to do something about it. Don't let your mind control you. The worse thing that could happen to you is lose your mind. I personally feel that eating medication will not help, it will only worsen the conditions.

When you know your heart is sick, to get it cured, you need to get the correct form of "medication". Even if you are suffering from depression, talk to the people around you. You will know that your friends and family and many, many people around you, they care for you and even though if they don't, you can still love yourself... Do self-reflection therapy, face your own fear and be true to yourself. It's not difficult to face your own fear. The scary part is you allow your own fear to control you.

We could be suffering from depression from time to time, esp. when you think that life has forced you into a corner where you have no where else to go. Everyone has the rights to be depressed but you just have to learn how to control your mind. Some people choose their solutions in a positive way while the rest just turn to their last resort, death. Which i feel that is not even a solution...

Life is precious. Do not forsake it.
