If a girl is depressed
By Kreeta via UN Volunteers
Depression, we’ve all felt it some time in our life. Are you
feeling depressed right now, have you been down for a long time? The first step
to beating depression is admitting that you have it.

You first feel sad, then you feel angry but that anger slowly
drains your energy and now you don’t want to leave your bed, life has lost its
meaning and you just can’t be happy. It is possible to smile and still be
depressed, that doesn’t mean the problem isn’t serious.
Depression can lead to more serious consequences such as drug
abuse, chronic sadness, suicidal thoughts, mental illness like bipolar, to name
just a few. You may also lose your job
and friends. But if your friends leave when you are depressed, were they really
friends at all?
The truth is, people deal with conflict differently. When you
are depressed, everything seems to fall apart because a negative force such as
depression attracts negative consequences.
When you feel depressed and don’t want to get out of bed or
see anyone, Get up. No matter how hard it is, get out of that bed, take a
refreshing bath, eat a balanced meal by yourself or with someone you love.
Do an activity you love, dance, draw, sit in the sun, watch
the leaves fall, talk to a friend, be near loved ones or get a pet. If it is
too much to bear, go and see a therapist immediately. Even so, understand that
you are what it takes to beat depression. People can help but no one knows
what’s deep within you.
In depression, you are your only hero and I believe, without
a doubt, that you are worth saving.
