How to Deal with Depression?
Depression is a disorder that we feel persistent sadness. We may feel sad due to a loss of our loved ones, stress, and failures in our life etc. But sometimes we may not be able to figure out why we are sad.

On Suicide Part 1
Trigger Warning: This story is about me, it's about you, it's about your best friend from high school that you didn't know was depressed until it was too late. This story is about a guy named Josh who struggles with suicide, self acceptance, lonliness, and rejection. It is meant to pinpoint how our society wrongfully handles the subject of suicide, and a lot of the scenes come from real life experiences of people who have conquered their struggle with depression, and want to help others do the same. This is not an easy read and it's not meant to be, so if you find yourself struggling please reach out to someone, and stop reading if you find this triggering.

Stop It With The Filters
Stop It With The Filters I want to talk about being honest with ourselves. Honest about who we are and how we are in this current moment. I think that a lot of us tend to filter through our days so that we can manage that weight we carry. We wake up, get ready for the day and apply the best filter we can in order to seem “normal”, so that no one has to worry for us. Then when we come home and wash off the day, that weight bares down harder than it did when you left because you thought the filter would work. But it didn’t.

WALKING IN THE ABYSS
I've levelled out. After weeks of clinging on for dear life - literally - I have regained some semblance of balance. Careful though. One misstep and you will fall, Dom. A pebble in the void, the only direction, down.

Unhappiness or Depression?
Is it crazy to think that I would never be happy ? Or even have that insane rush of happiness a lot of people get . To me it seems as if I would never get to experience that . Would I be crazy if I said I never felt not even a slight bit of happiness ?

The Is How Antidepressants Changed My life and May Change Yours
How did my story begin? It was a cold day in December 2018. I remember waking up at 2 pm, after spending the whole night awake trying to convince my mind to stop thinking and give me the peace to be able to close my eyes. I woke up, looked through my window and a couple of questions came to my mind about whether I should get out of my bed or stay there for a couple of more hours. I remember feeling an intense sorrow at that time. It was then that I remembered that I have my first appointment with the psychiatrist. I couldn't eat that time, I remember grabbing a small piece of chocolate to shut my starving stomach up and went out without even caring about the way I dressed or the way I smelled.

How to Avoid a Depression After Rehab?
The transition from addiction to rehab can be difficult and stressful. It comes after the decision to start with recovery and, in most cases, is followed by fear and pain. The process of detoxication, as well as the road to sobriety itself, brings many obstacles and challenges for people with substance use disorder. The thought that one day, they’ll be free from addiction and able to live a normal life again is probably the most important inspiration that will keep them positive and away from relapse. For that reason, most programs created to help with rehab for men https://addictionresource.com/drug-rehab/men-only/, as well as for women, are based on the idea of getting these people mentally and physically strong enough to cope with the process.

I Fought Today
I woke up today. I hit the snooze button more than 10 times only to realize that I’m awake and just hitting it for no reason. I stared at my ceiling for 30 minutes listening to the alarm ring and my dog bark not knowing if I could get up. “Maybe if I call in today, I’ll just tell them I’m sick. I mean I am, just not in the way that they think.” I finally got out of bed. Every ounce of my body fought me wanting to lay back down. I’m tired. I shuffle into the bathroom. I don’t look in the mirror. I can’t. I already know what is waiting for me and i am not ready to face that just yet.

What did I look like when I was depressed?
During my depression, I could have three different faces. The first one is when I am feeling some joy because I am not breaking down, thinking that maybe I got to to the end of the dark tunnel I have been walking in for a while. When I am in this state, I feel happy, optimistic and excited about tomorrow. I feel like all my sad moments were just a passing cloud, and that all my traumas happened for a reason, a positive one. My view of the world changes and my mood is stable all the time. My mother used to tell me that my eyes usually shine whenever I am genuinely happy, and the following pictures shows that. I remember I was smiling for real, I wasn't faking it that time, I was in relief, I was out of the prison called depression.
