Depression brought me to 7 cups!!

Depression is like drowning!!!

You drown deeper and deeper, it's kinda slow death. Even death would be better because at least it is eternal peace and solution to our all problems! The deeper you go in depression, the harder it is to get away from it. It consumes you, completely.

I am a victim of depression, at times, when I am helpless and there's no one I could talk to. Few days back I was depressed (for some personal reasons). I actually happened to browse for the first time, some counseling sites and stuff and there I found 7cups. I came here as a venter/member but ended up being a listener. Amazing it is, isn't it? It was a stroke of luck or whatever, I found this chance to improve my listening skills and play an important and positive role around the globe. I was so happy to help others. I felt proud giving hope to others. I always wanted to do something like this. Passion really is priceless! If I didn't try to overcome my depression that day, I wouldn't be here today!

I think the important thing in life is to believe, that while you are alive, it's never too late. Like it's said, life is too short not to live. Some people, when they break, heal even stronger. It isn't how you fall, what matters is how you get up. Let's fight this depession, lets defeat this thing and be strong, because really, there's too much suffering in the world already!!!
