Have you ever been so lonely that you feel so alone even in the middle of a crowd? Have you ever had a feeling of being unworthy even you have everything? Have you ever feel that you have to cut your life in order to end the unexplainable pain that you have inside? Do you know where that pain is coming from?
Those are the questions that we dont even know how to answer. We do feel in that way in one phase of our lives. Lucky those who havent been in that situation, because just to let you know it is really hard to be in there. Believed me, I've been there and I dont want to experience that same feeling again, ever.
Depression that is the right word to describe the condition wherein you feel so hopeless, unworthy, and sad even there are a lot of people around you. It has an unexplainable pain that corrodes our mind. You feel that darkness is actually eating you alive and one solution you have in mind is to end your life. Up until today, not everyone is open in this topic. Some still think that "depression" is actually a sickness of rich people, they say its all about "pagiinarte". Worst, some says if you are depressed you are crazy. Not all can understand and open to understand this kind of condition. Sad because as day passes by victims of depression is becoming rampant. Everyday we can hear a news about someone who killed himself, and it so annoying to hear the comments of other people saying "she/he is stupid", this and that. What they dont know is the real cause of it, they can say whatever they want mainly because they never experience that kind of feeling. I just cant imagine how they will handle such when they put the same shoes. I will never ask anyone to be in the same situation because I know how hard it is to be there and I know that some dont survive and some does. I will never want someone to be in that risk.
Why am i writing this? Simple, for awareness. We need to accept the fact that depression can be experienced by anyone in this world, rich or poor, young or old. There's no specific age or social status. We also need to accept that this is not a simple condition and people who suffered from it should not be judged nor be bullied. We need to be sensitive with the possible reaction of other people towards are actions and words that we will utter. Also, be approachable and know your surroundings, be sensitive to those who give signs. Talk to them, let them know that they got you, and you are willing listen to whatever they need to say. Be a shoulder to cry on and be a listener and dont judge them instead support them. Show those people who is suffering fromt his condition that they are not weird people, that they are not crazy, show them and let them feel that you can understand them.
For those who is currently in this situation, accept the fact that you need help. Seek help from your trusted people and help yourselves as well. We can survive depression, those suicidal thoughts and endless crying and feeling of hopelessness, we can survive, we just have to believe in ourselves and to our Savior up above. Dont let depression eat you alive, you are bigger and stronger than this awful feeling. Ask for help. If I was able to survive it, you too can, dont lose hope. Keep believing and keep the faith.
