Lost in Depression
by David
It's hard when you don't feel like doing anything to fill up a day's hours with things to do. It's hard trying to sleep when you can't, or trying to go walking when your self esteem is so low that you feel very self conscious around people. Sometimes you feel so self conscious that any traffic makes walking a real burden. It makes you want to stay home where you feel safe.
Depression can take your breath away as well as your friends and your self. It can isolate you from loved ones when they don't understand at times that you don't feel like being around anyone, including them. That is the most heart breaking thing when you have children and you can't be your best for them....... missing out on things or events that are so special to them.
You try to show your children that you love them. You hope they understand or will someday understand that depression is a disability just as sure as if you were in a wheel chair for life. Depression is a prison at times, keeping you from being out in the world enjoying things other people are enjoying. At times I cry. Sometimes I hide my head under the covers. There's no escape and sometimes no relief. Deep inside I know life is beautiful. I have two daughters.

So well said. I understand the "prison" part all too well. I know words don't help when you are so far under the cloud. I have battled this monster my whole life. I wish the best for you.

Thanks for the post. I got help two years ago for my depression after being in denial for 40 odd years. Now 2 of my 6 kids and my wife are getting help as well. We feel bleesed.

I know the pain that you feel. I wish I could make it go away, for you, as well as for me. Just know this my dear sweet brother of mine, you are deeply loved. The memories that I have of you and I are tucked away in a special place in my heart. And when I get too low, I go there, and it's very good.

To beat depression I have few tips -
1.Sit calmly and enjoy the automatic process of Inhale and exhale of your breath.
2. Think about "nothing".
3. Listen sounds around you like your A/c machine sound if you're indoor or traffic sound if you're outdoor.
Nice blog, Good luck!
