DEPRESSION

DEPRESSION


This year has been a time for us to know and deal with our feelings. The happy ones, the sad ones, the depressing ones. Which brings to our question. What is depression? Clinical depression is a mental health disorder characterized by persistently bad mood. It can be caused when people spiral  in their bad and negative thoughts. It begins with just simple sadness or a bad mood. It is a dark, very dark place inside our own mind. We usually keep it closed and in control, because it houses our worst fears and disabilities. But the moment you let it control you, it can be drastically dangerous. There can be several causes for depression ranging from poverty to loneliness. When you stops opening up,closing yourself to people, you enter the dark void of your thoughts, which can traumatize you for a long time in your life. So, how do we deal with depression or rather, prevent ourselves from it? Firstly and most importantly, and I cannot stress this enough. Reach out. Talk to people about your feelings. You are more important to people than you think. There is always someone out there willing to help you and listen to you. Do not close the door on the face of your friends and family. Not everyone is faking their concern. People care about you. You are not a burden on anyone. Control your mind, DO NOT let it control you. No situation is as bad as you assume it to be. There is a reason for everything. Lastly and very very importantly, ending your life is not the answer to anything. It will not do you or anyone around you any good. There is so much more to life than the problems, and you'll miss it all by ending yourself.
If you are happy with your life and the things going on around you, WOW!! Pat yourself on the back. Use your happiness to cheer your peers and the others around you. Contact the friends who you think are lonely. Talk to people. Do not make anyone feel unwanted or unloved. Pacify them. Be a good friend. If you think that any of your friends is acting distant, go and talk to them. Make them sit it all out. Console them and make them feel loved.
Sometimes the people who seem to be happy, who help others through their problems, may be the ones hurting deep inside. These are the people good at hiding their feelings. It might take a lot of effort to get through their shell. They will only open up to you if they trust you. That trust has to be earned and then kept up. Talk to them and help them and anyone you feel needs it.
It is your job as a friend to help your friends and not make fun of them for having reached out to you.

Ashley and Lucas - THE MEETING

 Ashley was sitting on a rock peacefully In a blue dress with a bouquet of lilies The god she loved, found his mistress  To be the one to help him in distress  So he gave Ash a bouquet of lilies To bid her goodbye She wished him luck and happiness And they parted their ways with no bitterness Now she sat there, content Devouring each feature of nature to all its extent  Somehow everything was grey The mist that hung over the beach astray The ocean that advanced towards her feet Grey with white foams, receded back in retreat  The grey clouds stretched till the horizon As pleasant as comfortable silence The grey weather was melancholic And the pine scent was exotic  She was staring blankly towards the sea She does that a lot lately The waves crashing towards the shore Made her want to go out there to explore She saw someone walking down the beach Though far away, he was a god from Greece  Walked towards her barefoot As though was there just to allude...

Racial Discrimination and Beauty standards Ft. Anushri Tewari

We all know about the term “racism”, we all have experienced it at some point in time, haven’t we? Sometimes intentionally or unintentionally, people discriminate against us on our origin, skin color, etc. At a point in time, I was obsessed with being fair & trust me it sucked. Everything was supposed to be about fairness; I only considered people beautiful if they were fair. Then slowly, I realized that skin color has nothing to do with being beautiful, beauty lies in different places for everyone. Nonetheless, we tend to promote "White supremacy". Why? because we have been living in a society where being fair is everything, without even realizing we promote "White supremacy”, we should stop and think about how our actions affect the people around us. Black or Asians or Indians or Russians, everyone has been discriminated at least once, for eg in India people discriminate their own people more than other country’s...for what? just because they’re dark-skinned or bel...

WHAT A BOOK CAN TEACH FT. VARANYA YADAV

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes M any a times, I feel like I’m losing control over things - over my work, my social life, my state of mind. This is when I sit back and look at my life from a different perspective. To help gain this perspective, I read books. Some people may prefer to watch movies or listen to songs. It was around such a phase that I happened to read me before you. To be honest, I didn’t know anything about the book, about the author, I didn’t even buy it. This book affected me in ways I didn’t think were possible. As I read the story of Louisa Clark and the turn of events of life I got to know that I am one of the fortunate ones. I have a decent lifestyle and enough money and awesome friends. When Lou met Will, a quadriplegic, her life changed a lot, she discovered a whole new part of herself, something that she thought had been missing.Thought the first few months were very hard and Lou thought that she wasn’t going to succeed, with time she got more comfortable around wi...
