Now before we go into the book.
What is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called a major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
In the world today, a lot of people suffer from Depression. While some get the help and care they need some don't.
Some people learn to live with depression but it isn't easy as you have to deal with mood swings, low energy, lack of motivation, suicidal thoughts, and so on.
Often times, people with depression feel that they aren't enough, they feel like they aren't needed and their existence in this world doesn't matter.
That's so sad, right?
When you get to a stage of Depression, you begin to feel that death is better than living.
You begin to lose your enthusiasm, getting out of bed becomes a hassle.
You begin to feel alone even when among people.
Please note: People suffering from Depression might begin to get withdrawn from people around them. They begin to feel insecure especially when they are in a relationship, e.g they might begin to feel like their partner doesn't love them enough and so on.
They might have trust issues especially when they have been betrayed by someone before.
There's a common feeling among People with Depression and that's the feeling of being Numb. It's a state of being neither happy nor sad. At this stage, you don't feel anything just numb!
People with depression don't usually appear to be sad. Some might even be laughing and smiling with others but that's all a facade. They aren't truly happy in fact, they are dying in silence!
But well, as Severe as Depression may seem, there's a way out.
Firstly, you have to learn to love yourself, why because. People with Depression often lack self-love and some hate themselves to the extent that they want to take their lives.
Some also say negative things to their selves like, ' I am too dumb ' . ' Nobody loves me. ' . ' I am a failure ' . ' I wish I could just die. ' . ' I am useless ' and so on.
So learning to love yourself will go a long way in recovering from Depression.
Secondly, Practice Positive thinking, say positive things to yourself: wake up early in the morning, look into your reflection in the mirror with a smile on your face say these words, ' I am enough! I am loved! I am intelligent! I am beautiful both inside out! I am not perfect but I am working on myself, working to be a better me, not the me that the world wants but me I should be! I am outstanding! I am beautiful both inside out! I am here for a reason! I am not a failure! Whatever I lay my hands on, I'll succeed! I am a genius! ( Your name ) you are loved!
