If I break my arm, should I be ashamed? Or if I have a fever should I be ashamed? Or cancer? No! right? Then why having depression is something I should be ashamed of? Why have we made depression into a laughing stock? Or why do we say that it’s not a real illness? Depression is as real as a broken hand; the only difference is you can see one while the other is felt only.

I can have a big house, a dozen kids and all the money in the world, but I can still be depressed. Depression doesn’t have anything to do with the riches a person has. You can have everything in the world and still be depressed. Why? How?

There is so much we don’t know about depression, I just saw this ad, featuring Deepika Padukone, saying very boldly that she had depression and that she isn’t ashamed. we can even tell the next person we have depression let alone tell the whole world. Depression is real, its effects people in a different way, it’s not always apparent, it can be treated and you aren’t alone.

Tons of feelings are associated with depression, say your friend is always moping around, how about you don’t taunt her for her bad moods and ask her, for a change, Why? What makes you this sad, maybe she has a definite answer and maybe she doesn’t. Most people are aware that what they are feeling is depression and not just mood swings.

Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood, feelings of hopelessness, cynicism, gloom, feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities, decreased energy, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions, difficulty in sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping, appetite and/or weight changes, thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts, restlessness, irritability all these feelings are associated with depression.

I have lived depression, and I have overcome it too because I have had a supported family and a supportive husband. I have lost my loved once and that was hard for me, it was an effort to just get out of bed some days, smiling used to hurt my face, my own laughed used to scare me. I lost my son recently, a missed miscarriage and that took me in deep depression, it was hard for me to cope, I stopped seeing people.

I avoided going out because I hated people pitying me. So, I know what I am talking about. If ever you feel shit about yourself, please talk. There are people who help, there are people who listen. Don’t let some stupid people get you down. Share and let it go.
