Why This EBook is For You!
Have you been down feeling down lately? Seems like the world has come to a standstill and nothing will ever be ok again? Or is it that a part of you always seems to have been in the deep, dark void of nothingness? Do you force yourself to be cheerful and happy? Is the feeling of gloom afflicting you in more than just your feelings? Fatigue and listlessness are devouring you?
If you have been nodding a yes to the aforementioned questions than you need to give some serious thoughts to what has been happening. Depression might be the reason for your lack of interest in life and activity. And this is not something you should ignore. Depression is one of the most undertreated conditions, because people either laugh it off or Don’t know that they are experiencing it. Those who do realize the symptoms, refuse to acknowledge it, fearing they will be shunned or ridiculed.
And this is the inhibition you have to let go off. Being depressed neither undermines your strengths, nor does it imply that you are an emotionally weak person. It as much a physical condition, as it is mental. But by no means does it suggest that you are fragile or feeble. You only have a problem that can be resolved with the right treatment. Can people who have diabetes or cancer or asthma be blamed for their condition? Should they be ashamed or guilty? Of course not!
Just like that depression is not something you should ever be ashamed of having. The one thing you need to understand is that It Is Not Your Fault! And you should let no one tell you otherwise. Depression is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, admitting and seeking help is your greatest strength and shows your resilience for life!
