Depression

What is Depression? I often hear people claiming that they are depressed but I've never understood the proper meaning of it. How does depression feel like? What is depression in the first place? Have you gone through depression before? Did you overcome it or are you still stuck in the darkness?

What are your opinions on those who are depressed? Have you ever helped anyone who's depressed? What is your advice for those who are depressed?

I honestly don't know what I'm going through right now. I don't know what I feel. But I'm still trying to figure it out. Oh, please don't get the wrong thought and think that I'm depressed. I'm not depressed. I'm just...really confused.

It's a feeling. A horrible feeling. It makes you want to end everything as you only believe that there is never a light in your life; that it's always just darkness, nothing else. Yes, I have. I am currently recovering from it with the help of trying to distract myself by reading fan fictions, using a rubber band to calm me down, listening to music and even learning to play an instrument. I try to keep myself busy just so I wouldn't think of it. I think those who are depressed are just little brave souls that just needs someone to care for them, not just physically but also emotionally and mentally. I have actually and I still do. I do my best to stop them from ending something that is precious, and my advice is well to just keep yourself busy. Get rid of everything that will make you want to relapse, try to stay happy by leaving those that pulls you down.

You can always talk to me whenever you're down or just whenever you're bored, I'll do my best to help you :)

Here, I have a thread about it. Well not entirely about but just.. some real-life events. It might explain it a bit for you. [ http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/525022/ ]
You're probably wondering how I ended up in this blog post, well one thing. Trying to help others to recover. That's just something that I do, tbh. I like making people smile than to suffer.

It took me a long time to realize and understand what I'm going through on my own. By the time I was brought to the hospital I was diagnosed with severe depression. All I was thinking before I found out was, "Oh, its nothing serious I just don't like myself." Then came the thoughts of me absolutely despising myself, then I started cutting. Currently I have to take anti depresents and some other medication to help my mood. But the last week of May I had spent in the hospital, becaue of my depression. Honestly half of me wants to get better, but more than half just wants me to stay in my own little dark bubble of self hatred.
