Most of us have had some form of depression in our lives, the fact that there is a week dedicated to it proves that it's nothing rare or to be ashamed of.
"Depression isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign that you have been too strong for too long".
I want to reassure everyone that you're not weak and you're not crazy. It's not your fault and it's hard to overcome, anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. However, you need to realize that you create your own destiny; if you think your life isn't worth while then you will accept this fact and do nothing to change it.
It's ok to cry, it's ok to curl up with a blanket sometimes and let it all out. But don't let it overcome you, don't let it define your life. Life is happening right now, don't miss it because your in crying about how you're missing it!
One night a while back I was feeling really down and couldn't sleep, so at sunset I took my dog for a short walk. We watched the sunset (my dog knew what was going on, obviously) and it was so peaceful and beautiful. It made me see the beauty of the world, and the fact that every slight noise in the dead silence made my dog have near heart-failure made me laugh so much I forgot about my woes.
It's the little things that help, realizing life is all around you and if you open your eyes you might be amazed.
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Never accept anyone's definition of you; define yourself."
Listen to your favourite happy music and flick through this website http://weheartit.com/. You never know, it might inspire you to smile!
Don't take life too seriously lads, we'll never get out alive.
