Beyond Blue, down and out, ashamed, embarrassed, confused, alone, sad, angry, scared are some emotions people who suffer depression go
through, crying, soar, tired, fidgety wanting to be alone and sometimes wish weweren’t here at all. Feeling helpless, feeling worthless, feeling a burden and left wondering why life is so cruel. Little things can seem like a major task, getting out of bed, picking up kids, doing shopping, it all becomes just too much, when the phone rings what do they want, no thank you I am busy, I don’t feel well, I hurt my leg, I have a headache, I have an appointment are some excuses I use, I really don’t need company or to be around people I am ok. We all can relate to the ones we love and care for who try to encourage us to get out, participate and get over it, we have all heard, once you get there you will be fine, give
it ago, you never get out loosen up. Sometimes it is necessary and seems appropriate to create and force a fake smile trying your hardest to be natural and enjoy a happy moment is an effort. Talking to people can make us feel weird, it’s not that you are not valued or liked but in our head our reply feels unnatural and fake because it’s hard to focus on what has been said,sometimes people who have been there can
explain best, I live it, I have lived it and without experience it’s hard to give advice or understand what its really like, you can read books and study and have all the medical degrees but to live a day in the shoes of a person with depression is what you need to get the full scope of what it’s like. I guess some see us weak but each day we live and try to deal with this is the strong approach, it’s never easy and always tough, each day we hope we wish we have good intentions that it will get better but as the sun goes down and comes uphere we go again. I wish there was a way to make me happy, to live life, to be able to smile, to have friends, to go out and be normal we all want that. All of us have friends, we all have a lot of people who have our back and some good strategic plans, we are club of our own we are Depression Club we stand for support, help and being there for each other, it’s not shameful it just shows we are pretty cool and we really care. When your turn has come and you have the help you need and are back on your feet, don’t forget depression club. We can beat this and have a better life, hang in there and keep up the fight.
