Living with depression
When I was just thirteen years old, something was just sinking in my mind that my life is not good enough and inferiority complex started taking my attention from beautiful life. All days are awfully bad because it is just become very difficult for me to cope up normal school routine but everything just normal till that time. During first year of my college, depression become very severe that I have to leave the studies. It becomes more difficult when normal life become so abnormal. My interest towards life is diminishing day by day and a point came when I can't sleep. Due to no sleep, my hallucinations started and my parents concluded that there is demon in me. They started getting help from superstitious remidies. Somehow through medical help, my life came on track but it again deteriorates due to relapse. I just don't know how to manage the relapse, so I started reading about depression. My depression is not normal depression but it is bipolar disorder which is genetic. That means this disorder started affecting me from childhood but diagnosed during twenties. And people in India are not aware of these diseases and they start doing superstitious remedies that made it more worse. Living with depression is not very difficult but also very costly because you have to go to doctor all the time. Lifestyle is more important than medicine because medicine alone can't treat you if you are not looking after your mental health. Taking care of your emotional health is best remedy for living a life you want and it made my life so healthy that I am not having any relapse from last ten years.I am married from last fifteen years and have one daughter.I am also an artist who love to make paintings on demand. Now trying writing also and I hope this information is useful for you.
