Reasons to Stay Alive - (A Serious Thread)

At the end of last year to the middle of this year, I suffered from depression. What I can tell you about such a mental problem, is that it is absolutely horrible to go through. While I had this illness, I didn't say anything to anyone about it, and no-one could tell. The reason behind that, is because I used my sense of humour to mask up the real, deeply unhappy and suicidal me.

If you are in need of help, what I can tell you is that it will get better. Every single day I skeptically denied this, and thought that depression was something I'd go through with my entire life. I was most certainly wrong. I used humour to cover my deranged image, but little did I know that the humour I used was helping myself. How? I believe that if you can make a person happy, you feel happier. Whether this is by cooking a lovely meal for your family and seeing their smiles as your feast is laid on the table, whether this is by creating beautiful music to captivate hearts, seeing another human smiling, can be the most powerful thing on this planet.

As I went through my battle, my motto was, "Don't worry". I carried those two words everywhere. Today, I am no longer depressed, and it feels like an eternal orgasm - so good.
