Depression is rather a quite common phenomenon especially in today’s world where you have to fight for everything, first your existence, then money, then love, identity, fame and after getting all these the pressure to maintain and to sustain it, then they’ll complain about peace of mind and all that crap. It all boils down to one single fact; nobody on planet earth is living a perfect life. Wait! Not life, I guess. Because what I meant was nobody is truly happy and that’s what life is all about. That indeed is “THE perfect life”, the unhappy life, both sour and sweet.
But we have to agree that depression is one hell of a time. Everything you look at is bad, every individual you can think of is selfish, every thing you do looks of no importance and seems to go wrong, there’s nothing you can think of to soothe yourself. But that is all in the mind. Remember this is the same mind which was with you some time ago when you cherishing some very happy moments, for example a burger (I can’t think of anything else!).
The biggest task that lies ahead when you’re in depression is turning the tide of your thoughts from one way to the other. I don’t know them exactly (I would’ve been a psychiatrist had I known them) as they differ from individual to individual but try not to think of anything you hate. Just think about your family and how good they are and slowly and steadily try to think about everything positively. Remember, the biggest risk that all of us take in our lives is to live it. We’ve got no assurance of our next moment. You should always remember that at any point of time there is a finite probability that this is the last that you’re seeing of this world. Now you’ve two choices ahead of you, either die living or die dying. I would go with the former as I may die while I am alive but certainly I can’t live when I’m dead.
About the problems, some say that they’re facing a crisis, nobody in this world cares about them, they’re just another thing in this world and if they go missing nobody is even going to notice or anything like that. People like me; we’re mainly depressed because of the struggle of identity. Yes I want to be the most famous man in the world, yes I want that every next girl I meet shall say **** me but this is not what life is all about. The important thing is what you’ve achieved not what you haven’t been able to achieve. Nobody can get everything even though they deserve it as you’ll always be with something that you don’t deserve. For example, I don’t deserve to live in one sense as some person who is dying somewhere on earth due to lack of facilities or due to terrorism or whatever, he may deserve life more than me. He may be a better individual than I am. But I am alive and I am sure a lot of people who deserved life more than me are dead today. You’re sad because you can’t see your identity in this big a world think of people who are struggling to live, identity is a matter that they don’t have time to think about as if they’ll think about it their mind goes off the dangers and they won’t be alive the next moment to save their identities. Some may say why live this life it hasn’t got a meaning. Yeah that’s right but death again is not an easy thing to handle and as I said before I would prefer to die living, I won’t like it if death comes to me and says, skip him he’s already dead.
No sorrows are big enough to make you loose your next moment. As I write the lyrics of song pops into my head “Duniya mien kitna ghum hai, Mera ghum kitna kum hai.”
Talk about me being over optimistic? I won't care.
