#DEPRESSION

                 The term DEPRESSION is very common to hear ,nowadays.We take the case  of depression very lightly.We think that it's quite normal, if anyone is suffering from it and there is no need to visit a psychiatrist or a counselor and generally our words of advice are that give some time to yourself and try to be happy.We don't realize with what pain and pressure they are going through,we don't understand that being happy in a situation when you are not happy at all is very very tough.Depression is like any other disease which needs proper and timely treatment.Most people are affected by depression in their lives either directly or indirectly through a friend or a family member.Confusion about depression is commonplace,e.g. with regard to what depression exactly is and what makes it different from just feeling down.As a teenager you have a bit more scope to be the young and glamorous stereotype,permeated in a Lana Del Ray lucid dream.Depression is a severe disorder,and one that can often go undetected in some people's lives because it can creep upon you.Depression doesn't need to strike all at once;it can be gradual and nearly unnoticeable withdrawal from your active life and enjoyment of living.                                                                                                                                                               The problem with depression is that you know you'll be OK but you still feel awful,you know people love you,but it doesn't fell like they do,you know that doing something will make you feel better,but you just don't know how to,you want to be well,but you just can't seem to get there.People suffering with depression start feeling that they are not strong any more but they are wrong,they forget that strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about.I totally agree that this world is full of monsters with friendly faces but also we can't deny the fact that in this world there also exist angels who are full of stars.I know it's very hard,to stay strong for everyone around you,with a pasted on smile that quickly goes away when you are alone.I know it's tough trying to kill something that's inside,and eats you alive and there's noting you can do about it.No matter how hard you try ,it just doesn't go away.But,you should also remember that you can't start the next chapter of your life if they keep re-reading the last one.So stop overthinking and take time to do what makes your soul happy.Take a deep breath,it's just a bad day not a bad life.Some years back, I read a magazine in which a question was asked that what is the bravest thing you have ever done ......there were many answers to that question but the answer that left me teary eyed was by a boy.He answered"THE BRAVEST THING I EVER DID WAS CONTINUING MY LIFE WHEN I WANTED TO DIE".At that time,this statement helped me to understand the pain and feelings that the people suffering with depression go through.
                                                             
                                                Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time.It's the fear of failure,but no urge to be productive.It's wanting friends,but hate socializing.It's wanting to be alone,but not wanting to be lonely.It's caring about everything,then caring about nothing.It's feeling everything at once....then feeling paralyzingly numb.People suffering with depression needs proper care and support.It's my request to all of you be supportive,try to be more understanding and supporting towards the people who are suffering with it and help them to fight with it.Don't let them feel ashamed of themselves and tell them "It's OK to feel this way".HELP THEM IN ANY WAY YOU CAN.....AND SUPPORT THE MOVEMENT #NOT ASHAMED.Click here and listen to Deepika Padukone's story of dealing with depression and if you feel the same,don't worry at all, share it with your family or anyone on whom you trust more than yourself and believe me after recovering from it, you will feel way more stronger and happy.

#BE YOURSELF

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment". These are the well-spoken words of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

           Everyone(our friends, relatives or the so-called society) always tells us that "JUST BE YOURSELF". But, when we try to be ourselves or do something out of the league, the first one to stop us from that will be our relatives and friends, who call themselves our "well-wishers".I ask, that what kind of good wishes are they, instead of supporting and encouraging us they all try to demotivate us by laughing or saying that'you can't do it'.Guys just tell me, who are they to tell us that, we can do it or not.They have no right to take decisions of our life.Just For example,if you say that u want to be a model or an actor or an athlete they say you can't do it. Arrey why can't we do it,it's our life,it's totally our decision.We know our inner capabilities better, not they.So stop listening to them and have a faith in you....just be yourself.

                                                                               
              All of you might be, at least once have been mocked at by your friends,because of the way you walk,the way you dress or because of a mark on your face ,or the worst of all your choices.
              I want to share one of my experiences  here,two years back.....one of my friend made fun of the way i look ,that statement brought down my self confidence to such a low level that i started spending hours in front of the mirror . But,one day something clicked in my mind that made me question to myself .....that why do i need to look like others to be accepted by them.Won't the world be a boring place if everyone looked and acted the same way.I wasted a year trying to copy others.Altogether forgetting about my own identity ,all these things that happened with me had a great impact on me.I realized that some where deep in my heart i had a thought that i don't look pretty like other girls.She some how found that weakness of mine and started to demotivate me.Realizing,all my mistakes, i have now started to discover myself .I have started to take out some me time.I believe that now i m much happier than before,i am more confident and i believe very soon that time will come when i will be able to say that"main khud ki favorite hoon". 
          
              AT last i would like to say that start visualizing yourself ,how you want to be.No one  in this world has the right to change you or comment on you or make fun of the decisions that  you have made for your life .Be strong,be confident and most importantly love yourself .It's high time now come out in open, take your stand ,fight for yourself.Don't shut yourself in a room of others opinion.There is no need to sacrifice your identity for others.Always remember that, you are not a copy ,you are original........


                                                             SO,
                                                  BE YOURSELF & BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
