When Depression Strikes…

It’s easier to talk about a blog than it is to write one. It is my dream to own an online journal but then again, what’s the purpose?I want to break the enigma of mental condition called Depression. The upswing of this modern illness really surprises me. It can even happen in a small town such as barrio’s. The perception of this despair sometimes misread as only Dramas and just plain sadness. If only we were aware of the problem. So many guilts and what if. Like Modern millennials should also focus on their mental health which includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being.Does our society play a big factor for this big paradox? Let me tell you this! I’m oblivious at first or perhaps I was largely ignorant then, wherein all warnings and signs are so apparent and yet what I did was a dismissive shrug. When gloominess is at bay and I misread it as just a show! I let him down. It almost ruined our marriage. We’ve come to the point that he’s already disengaging himself from me. It’s tough. I’m close to my edge of losing him but I came to realize that I’m not giving up on him. It’s not his fight alone but we got this, TOGETHER.How can you fix a shattered ego? How to heal a broken self-esteem? What if this is something you don’t understand? You know what? You can’t! if this is somewhat your spouse has been facing with, we can’t do anything about it. Their minds are so rigid that they see us as a distraction. Depression is not an overnight quick fix. It is a long exhausting process & It’s a journey you need to go in union with your partner.

    Thank you for writing about your personal experience with depression. It is a tragic illness that many people discount and yet you seem to be embracing it and going along with your husband on the journey. Thank you.

      I just want to play with the waves otherwise I’ll loose the battle. That’s my mantra now, I stop worrying about the things which I cant control 🙂
      Yes, we are embracing our beautiful struggle, & we had learned a lot of things along the way.

      thank you for stopping by

      all the best
