On this day of world mental health. Being the one who has gone through depression, I just wanted to say a few things about mental health and depression. I just want to make you feel and understand that things will be ok if you are going through it.

Depression is something that not everyone understands unless they have gone through it, and have felt like its something that they are wearing like skin. Every day it begins to feel like everything you touch will die. It sometimes feels like you are in constant darkness and everything seems meaningless.

People can get into this pit in many ways I feel, might be they were trying to save someone from the hell, and they found the purpose in it, and they sat there forever to save more people. Or someone might have pulled them into that pit while trying to get out of it. Or the society might have cast its judgments and shadows on the soul that refused to stay in that box, in which it is hard to breathe. There can be many ways that you might have got into this.

They say depression is like an abusive relationship that you have with yourself. It feels like you have made a friend who always stands behind you and whispers constantly the things like "You are not good enough", "You will never be happy", "You are a joke", "You will never be worthy of something or someone" and many other mean things you wouldn't say to anyone else. The thing about all this is, when you hear this for a very long time, you will begin to believe it somewhere.

But I want to say something. If you are going through it, hold yourself together. I know how it feels to fight with that person who is always with you, and who knows you so well.

It feels like you fight with him every day, to pull him out of that driver seat and take the wheel for yourself, while he constantly sits behind you staring at you through the mirror. And the moment you feel whatever he said was right, the moment he sees that change in your face and feelings, he will take back that control again.

This whole fight with yourself will drain a lot of energy from you. But believe me, things will be alright. Just don't give up. The day that you are praying and wishing for isn't very far. When you arrive on that day, you will turn back and thank yourself for keeping the fight on and never giving up.

Whenever he/she says those mean things to you again. Tell them not today, tell them you are stronger than they believe. You are better than they think you are. You deserve the whole world if you want to. And you are worthy of everything you wish for.

Just keep that fight on. And remember, you are the best.
