Depression

As we all know, Depression is a condition wherein start feeling low in life, start doubting our own capabilities, start hating the person or the situation for making us feel sad and so dejected that we tend to de-value self.


As far as I recollect, I have been in depression for some 4-5 times in life… every time for a different reason.

Yesterday I was depressed for one reason which a normal teenager goes through. While travelling back to home, I was sitting on the window seat. I had my bag on my lap. This was the first time in last 1.5 years that I wasn’t listening songs on my IPOD. I was just feeling the cold breeze and staring at the stations, people, trees, buildings, and almost anything that came in front of my eyes. I could feel the gravity of earth acting heavily on me. Even if a TC had come to check my railway PASS, I don’t think I would have had the energy to take the wallet out and show him the PASS.

But, somehow, somewhere deep down in my heart, I was so happy that she came to meet me and clear out the things. Otherwise, she could have abruptly rejected my feelings and not cared to explain me the things. But then, she cared to coax me. She cared to dissect the whole situation. And, I swear by god, I now have immense respect for her. Of course, she is now just a normal friend for me. But, yes, a great respect is what I have for her now. The sweetest thing about her was that she didn’t want me to be alone, sitting on the MD. So she said that wanted to eat and then we parted after having dinner. Parted, only to be in touch as good friends. And yes, I am happy to have a sincerely sweet friend like her. I wish she gets a nice life partner that she deserves….

Sometimes, we take “being happy” for granted to so much extent that we don’t realise the importance of being happy. Seriously, I keep cracking jokes the whole day. I keep laughing the whole day. But, I had never realised that I should consider myself so lucky that I am happy the whole day. I mean, its like, you don’t FEEL the significance of being happy throughout the day. Depression makes you realise the importance of being happy.


There are many more things that depression teaches you:

1) Human nature.

2) If you love or like someone, that doesn’t guarntee you that you would be loved or liked back.

3) You start accepting things that never would have thought you would be able to digest. I mean, if a person doesn’t like, then you can’t force that person to like you.

4) You start realising the importance of the people who love you. You start valuing the affection or love that your loved ones shower on you.

5) You start beliving in the phrase “ being happy is not the only thing in life”!!!

6) You start valuing old songs...

7) You don’t want to, but even then, you are forced to belive in “jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai”….

8)  Never love a person so much that he or she takes ur love for granted and then loses respect for u !!!!! (thiis is the most basic mistake that human beings do... not controlling ur feelings...and losing ur self-respect becuase u are so much in love.....)


All in all, depression, to a certain extent, calms you down and tells you to value ur happiness!!!!! That’s why, I say, get into depression sometimes!!! :-D…
