Anxiety and depression have been extremely dominant these days that sadness has already taken so many lives and it is obviously alarming. To think of just uncontrolled feelings that may lead to something terrible and might eventually take one person’s life.
I had to write this kind of sensitive article topic because of my own downfalls, sharing my thoughts about such an issue isn’t so easy for me, but we needed someone to make us realize that life won’t stop throwing us though situations. I had to deal with what they call a quarter-life crisis when most people are experiencing right now.
It makes my head nod every time I hear issues about mental health being disregarded, undervalued, and almost forget. Depression is an illness that deserves a platform in our society hence, anxiety should be a subject matter to educate people.
We might wonder what’s in it with depression. You are no longer holds the same joy, everything feels too hard on yourself, and you always negatively wonder about life. These are some causes of having stressful thoughts that eventually turns into depression and slowly take one person’s life.
Some people may easily say that we should talk and open up to someone and tell them how we feel and you’ll be alright. But the question, is how do you put words on something so difficult and even yourself couldn’t understand? How do you tell to someone that you are no longer in control of how you feel?
I’ve done so many coping things when every time I feel lost, empty, and wondering about life. These moments are the worst feeling ever, being laid on the bed, crying, and feeling tired by assessing what life has been offered you good?
But on the other hand, we may not know but there are still some people who truly give us importance. Some people like our family and closest friends are the ones who sincerely check us, whose concern is to make us okay and wishes nothing but happiness for us. Isolation is not a solution for healing, but connecting with the people who give us hope is somehow an answer to complete ourselves again.
A few moments of mediation and breathing are also great ways to think and identify the challenges you are facing. A little walk outside, with a sip of your favorite coffee and just being glad to see the flowers, trees, streetlights, cars passing by, kids playing, and people socializing with each other, are pretty things that will never harm us, and actually helps us to somehow forget the aches and relieve us from stress.
Filling our hearts with joy, love, positivity, and being able to appreciate small things are considered tiny steps towards recovery.
