Dealing With Depression

The past few weeks had been terrible.

Going through life’s struggles is a lot; it is worse when you have no one to talk to. The truth is most times, opening up to someone might only escalate the entire thing because they bring their own energy to the situation.

I had a situation.
It was hard.
The few people I opened up to could not help in providing a solution. I do not blame though. I found myself drifting towards the embers of depression. I feel like depression is like being in a state of despondency. I felt sort of defeated. Helpless.

I needed to open up to someone who would not judge, a person who would empathize with my situation and offer comforting words. Individuals around me take me as ‘the strong one.’ That is far from the truth. I hurt easily so to protect myself, I’ve put up a wall.

HOW I DEALT WITH MY DEPRESSION
Prayer.
God.

I prayed. I opened up my heart to God. I surrendered to his will. It took a couple of prayer sessions to feel the difference in my being and spirit. I unpacked and unburdened all my worries and fears. I cried. It was a lot.

I felt peace last week. I’m in a good place now.

How are you?
Really?
