Sometimes, it feels as though you're stuck in that warp hole of misery, until the end of your life. I know that sounds quite melancholic, but it is that way to many people. You begin to feel as though you're cursed with something. It's as though there's a voice in their head constantly ranting, "You aren't good enough!" Despite all such voices that may lurk in your mind, it all just isn't true. The whole thing is an illusion. And since you're stuck in that depression, the illusion seems real.
Sometimes you wish that your life would end. Other times you choose to continue on living life, even though it all seems like nothing but a giant nightmare. Most of the times, you try to shake it all off, but the depression clings to you as though it owned you. It seems to be a never ending black hole, taking you deeper down into darkness. And then at rock bottom, you realize you can still sink.
Although, redemption is ALWAYS possible!
Yet the best thing we can all do, all the time, is carry on.
There is no louder voice, than the sound of perseverance.
Think of the strength of Spartans. I'm not sure if you watched the movie "300". Just really put your mind to it. If Leonidas had the courage and strength within him to muster up only an amount of 300 soldiers, to fight off thousands upon thousands of his enemies, then all of us do carry that same strength! You just have to look inside yourself for it. For ages and ages, men from all over different societies stood up to everyone around them. They felt all alone, and secluded. Yet, they still carried the strength to carry on. We all carry that same strength. And when it comes to that strength, depression doesn't stand a chance.
Even though we have to crawl away from the Gates of Hell, we still crawl.
Depression is mainly triggered when one does not realize his abilities. Yet it is very easy to do so! The only ability you really have to realize and tap into, is the unbound strength we are all given as human beings. The human heart can conquer everything. And even though depression seems like SUCH AN OBSTACLE, it can be overcome. All it needs is the right mindset. The right mindset is more important than all the medications you may take. Sure, the medications are important, but without the right mindset, you won't be getting anywhere. Such a mindset is developed by certain qualities, marked by specific words.
Perseverance
Strength
NOT GIVING IN
Simple mantras like these, can really be a life saver.
I know this will sound way over the edge, but this is what I believe:
I firmly believe, that even when one is in the lowest layer of Hell, he still has a chance to be redeemed, some how, and some way. The element of hope is INDESTRUCTABLE, no matter how nonexistent it may seem.
With Love,
John Joy :D
