Depression

This is not a story about someone with depression, it is to help those who are depressed cope with depression. Please enjoy.

 

        Depression

 

It hurts but it doesn't always last.

It may linger and haunt but things will get better.

It does not control you, you can overcome it.

Never give up on yourself. Remember, you are never alone.

Suicide is never the answer, an old friend of mine once told me,

it is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.

 

You have the power to over come anything. Any hardship, any bad breakup, any beating, any rumor, any death, any bitchy girl who thinks she's better than you, any a*****e boyfriend/girlfriend who cheats on you.

 

You can go through all of that, and guess what?

You're still here. You're reading this now. You're alive, breathing and hopefully, healthy.

I hope I have helped you by writing this. I wish you the best of luck in your life.

Oh my god this is rather weird. The best poem I have EVER written, was one called Depression. My ultimate favourite poem. I haven't posted it up here yet, so I must still do that, please can you message me to remind me to post it because it also talks about suicide not being the answer. I really want you to read it!

This reminds me of when I had depression. It was the worst thing to ever happen to me and take into mind that I watched my Mom die and watched my step-mom beat my step-sister.
I wouldn't wish depression on my worst enemy.

I really liked this one. If a poem like this can get someone to slow down and see their way through to better times it was worth it. Thanks.

I really support what you do, this is really cool. I like how you say depression is a temporary thing, and you just have to wait it out instead of suicide. If only all of us can keep that type of head when we atually get down in that gutter when our minds turn on us.

Depression sometimes can be looked at as a form of expression!
Some suffer yes! and there are some who wants you to think they suffer from it!
Why because they enjoy the attention.

Life is life when someone goes under the gun because of someone else
it's time to dust yourself off and move on. Very well said.
I like your style.

This has such a great message. The lines:
"Suicide is never the answer, a very dear friend of mine once told me,
it is a permanent solution for a temporary problem."
Such truth and such a great statement. This is a piece to be shared and should be read by everyone. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

Oh this was good. I just read your profile and I must say, I admire people like you. Depression is really the cause of a lot of things and people tend to suffer it alone rather than talk it out. Great work =]

This is also true. Lots of us get depressed but it will go away and you can fight it. It might take time and effort, but it's worth it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Oh I love it... you really gave a lot of wise advice.... suicide is most certainly a cowards way out and you can't even begin to realize the emotional damage you leave loved ones with who wonder why... that that don't kill you can make you stronger... really a great posting.

I'm so glad you shared this. The lines are so wise and full of insight for the heart. Everything expressed here is so true.. the painful moments don't last and there's always light to be found in the darkness.

Excllent writing and so valuable.
