One of the most abused words is depression. Depression for most people is just plain sadness. But there is a deeper meaning to this word. Depression is a deep kind of sadness with a feeling of unworthiness of this life that we were given. It is a feeling of not wanting to live another day because of being feeling worthless for other people and one’s self.

It is a hormonal imbalance that makes people think that their life has no worth in this world. That they are just here on earth to fill the gap or to fill the missing link. Depressed people often think that it is better for them to die, at least they have served their purpose. They feel gloomy inside and out and could not find the peace of mind that they have been looking for.

There is nothing worst than feeling depressed. It’s a combined feeling of worthlessness, of not being wanted, of being like waste on this planet. It’s a feeling of being alone in everything that you do in life. No support, no lifeline.

There is no constant cure for depression but self healing and self acceptance. But it’s always best to cure depression before it leads to some serious ailment.

If one could not find contentment within him or herself, he or she will most likely be depressed most of his life. Depression could pull one down to the bottomest pit. And the only one who can pull you up is yourself because those who want to remain depressed will most likely wallow in their own pool of sadness.

Depression is not just sadness. It is the absence of color in one’s life. It is the absence of light in one’s mind. It is the absence of one’s will to live. It is the absence of one’s want to fight. It is the absence of love for one’s self.
