I have always been in depression without knowing it. Symptoms include sleep a lot or very little, lose interest in everything and anyone. Learning to adapt and accept it as a gift. Thinking positive about it. That depression is a signal that lets us know it's time to step up and breakout. It also has a lot to do with what we eat and how we live, so switching things up is a great way to stay focus and excited too. Yet depression is a friend that's always near. I share this with my closest friends, and sometimes even with acquintances, mutual friends. It helps a lot, as it feels liberating, like how I fee, now as I type this. don't you just hate it when it strikes, out of the blue? Meditation, helps a lot for me. And religion of course. Find inner peace, that's the thing I guess. There is no cure, it takes time and effort. It takes patience And awareness. You will eventually find what triggers it, but then again sometimes, it strikes without a warning. Festive seasons tend to bring about it even more. More so, if loneliness is one of that trigger. It mTters not if you have a spouse or not... It's not their fault, it is within. End here for now
