Hello there everyone. So its been quite a while since I last published a post therefore today, I thought of writing on how differently I see depression. You never know it might change your perception too.
So recently I was asked by a friend of mine, "Has depression somehow enhanced your life? Or if given a chance would you let it take over you?"

Well it was good that she asked me at a point when I was no longer in that dispirited state. Had she asked me back in that time I might have just asked her to buzz off lol. Having learnt to deal with how my brain works and having come to terms with my feelings I now feel that there is an upside to this.
Anyway, coming back to how i responded to that question of hers, here is what I personally feel about how depression tends to bring out the best in you.
1. It makes you a good writer.
The mood swings and the mere anxiety ignites in you the urge to let it all out. and just when no body seems to understand what you exactly want them to understand, I suggest you pen your thoughts down. Pen it all out; the real stuff, the good stuff, the sudden oozing in your heart, everything. Now, just before you realize, you would feel a sudden burden being lifted off your chest. Yes! so penning your thoughts down not only brings out the inner writer in you but it further helps you to feel a lot better when there is a storm rising up inside your mind.
2. You learn to control the way you feel; anytime, anywhere.
Once you override depression, there is nothing that could possibly hurt you to that same extent. You came out of a suicidal phase and nothing could be worse than being in that particular state of mind. So once you've surpassed it, rejoice! You evolve because now, you'd be living your life as fully as you can.
3. It encourages you to appreciate the little things.
Life can be troublesome and when those days manifest where we can't confront the day ahead it's too simple to concentrate on the cynicism and enable it to devour our contemplation. I believe that the capacity to concentrate on the easily overlooked little details can be an awesome approach to build our state of mind.
Many people experience their lives in such a stupor, to the point that they don't set aside the opportunity to value their general surroundings. For individuals who encounter depression, there are always windows of relief and it's amid these circumstances that we can truly take advantage of our positive musings.
So my lovely blog fam, You know what isolates you from most of the people out there? You feel the urge to improve and improve for your own good. You feel the urge to change yourself for the better and conquer your fears, so you need to do it NOW.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this particular write up of mine. Let me know in the comment box below if you have faced any positive aspects of depression in yourself. Oh and don't forget to subscribe!

ReplyDeleteThis is a really good write fizza. I personally think that although it's more than difficult to deal with depression when you're actually under it. But once you get through that phase, you're stronger, more confident, you know yourself better and others can't bring you down that easily then. It's a realization that YOU gotta support and comfort yourself during the darkest times because in the end it's just yourself that matters.
