We Have the Power of Helping Someone in Depression

Once more, today, I come to talk about a subject base on my own experience. I went through depression two times in my life, the first one was not that bad, it was after many miscarriages and I was so anxious to have a baby of my own.  I never had to take medication during that time.  One thing I do remember during that precious time of my life is the word of comfort I did receive from my family and friends. It is not always like that, sometimes and even more most of the time people are alone to live those kinds of feelings. Depression is an illness every one of us need to considerate that. A depress person is very ill, she need help, she need to have someone  to be there for her, she need medication and a good sincere and honest friendship.

Do not leave anyone in your circle of friendship and family alone if you think they are going through a rough time.  Remember no one will knock at your door saying:’’I need help’’ Instead they will reject themselves from the society. Many of them do not even realize they need help; we are there to be their eyes to check up every sign of depression around us.  Please do not judge, they are helpless, it is like being another person, the thoughts are not even ours, the attitude is completely different and there is sign.

My own depression, the last one, was due to a psychological harassment from a formal employer.  Yes it took him two days to destroy a strong spirit and self-esteem and put me down. I felt I have not even worth to be on this world anymore could you believe that. People like me, who was always so strong and could go through and even went through so many trials in my life, believe me it did happen.

I attempt suicide and was save by angels I know, I lock myself into my bed for many weeks even month not able to talk to anyone not even my own children or husband. Had nightmare, worst thoughts I was just like a zombie. No one were able to recognize me, they had to get me out of there. What to do?  First was to see weekly my family doctor to get the right medication. You need to get the right specialist to get help.  But let me share with you the most wonderful gift I receive during that long period, I had friends leaving small papers with words of love on it, trying to comfort me. It took time for me to read them, but I did. Some people did left messages on the answering machine, short message like ‘’we love you’’ ‘’we are thinking of you’’.
