A lot of people dont realize that depression is an illness. I dont wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.
I prize the depression, for instance, because I learned the value of things in the depression that a way people who dont have to worry about such things never learned to prize it really. I believe.
I started to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wondered if it isnt one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wondered if its worth it. I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony. I used to be good friends with my depression, saying, oh I'm so depressed, oh life is terrible...
Sometimes I think that I was forced to withdraw into depression because it was the only rightful protest I could throw in the face of people to come and go as they please, that there were simply no real obligations left. So, people have been hurting and I understand that. And it doesnt give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me, we would be in a worldwide depression. I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression. I can do comedy, so people want me to do that, but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep, deep depression is the flipside of comedy. You dont realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side...
I found that there were others who felt the same way. My friends would come and seek me out, we'd talk about the future. And I found that their depression and pessimism was every bit as acute as mine. I had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated, when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didnt love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression. Now, that was with the people.
However in my case, I thought my body couldnt handle it anymore. I did try drink, drugs etc to come out of it, and I was actually physically ill. I went into an even more worse depression, and felt awful, just dreadful.
But if something of this kind happens, then it is a normal process of depression, it is a part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience, as I did.
Concern should drive us into action, not into a depression. Depression has been very close to me, but suicide hasnt been.
Depression is the inability to construct a future. It is something that makes you lose your inner sight. It happens when you have lots of love, but no one is ready to take. It scares people off. It makes me laugh when I think that it has that kind of effect. As far as I'm concerned, it is just a waste of time. So thats it. I'm over it now.
My character had been in the chain for several years. I had gone through anger, depression, drug and alcohol abuse. I had gone through everything..
Now I'm up, I'm happy and I'm filled with my dream. My recovery from depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle. Noble deed is the best cure for depression. Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a bussiness asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.
And, atlast to conclude I would like to tell everyone,
Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
I want to help people with depression, understand that there is hope, so that they can get the help they need to live rich, fulfilling lives...
With love to all,
