                                                                  It  should  not  be.    Depression  is
                                                                  neither  a  tool  for  attention-seeking

                                                                  it or out of it. Now that we know it
                    Often in our life, we come across a           and we have accepted it, fifty percent
                    phase,  where  the  entire  universe          task is done.
                    seems  to  be  against  us.  Our  friends,    After       identification      comes
                    our  family,  strangers,  and  even  our      confrontation.  We  are  told  and  we
                    pets, all seem to hurt us through their       grow to believe, “This too will pass”
                    speech  or  actions.  We  feel  helpless,     or  to  “Go  with  the  flow”.  But,  why
                    worthless,  and  sad,  get  angry  very       go with the flow when we know how
                    quickly   and    start   reacting    to       to swim? If a person starts drowning,
                    everything, small or big.  Most of us         the person will always try to swim and
                    want to get out of it. There is a reason      save himself. Then why should we go
                    for saying ‘most of you’. The others,         with  the  flow  rather  than  swimming
                    who do  not  want  to come out of it,         against the tide? The moment we take
                    do not even know about it. The first          responsibility  for  our  own  lives  and
                    step towards dealing with depression          our problems, we will come out of it
                    and  coming  out  of  depression’  is         in  no  time.  Believe  in  our  powers.
                    identifying   and    accepting    what        Believe that we can lead a happy life.
                    depression is. We need to accept the          Belief will lead us to bliss.
                    rough patch we are going through and          Now,  when  we  have  accepted  our
                    very     ‘thoughtfully’    name      it
                                                                  mental  state  and  decided  to  take
                    ‘depression’.  Depression  is  long-
