Memories and Depression

Everyone feels depressed when important dates arrive and all past memories invade one's mind, while their present life is still very sad because one has lost a person, position or something else, which is very painful indeed.

How can you have the courage to continue alone, destroyed, without any power or self-confidence?

You shall not be jealous of those whose heart is not as heavy as yours, but be grateful because you are not deluded or you do not imagine that everything is fine in this world.

When you suffer, you pay attention to everyone's pain. You stop closing your eyes to what doesn't please you, you become mature and sensitive and you are not naïve. You stop being superficial, futile and inconsequent.

Depression is difficult and it appears to be eternal, but you have to consider it as an important lesson in your life.

I know you don't want to learn anything... You just want to be happy. However, you don't live in order to constantly pursue happiness as you imagine.

Sad experiences will help you transform your psyche and personality more than happy moments. You need to learn many aspects of life if you really wish to be happy and satisfied with yourself.

It is important to continue without falling. Time is medicine for many, although it is also a process that leaves many marks in your soul. You feel worse as the same dates arrive again and the repetition of common social events while you are sad and alone can only increase your depression.

However, the spirit of wisdom can comfort your pain if you understand that your suffering is not something that is only ruining your life, but something that is making you sensitive and wise, so that you may discover real happiness. This happiness will be authentic and last forever because it won't depend on the external world, but on your internal power.

Depression works like the anti-corpus and helps you face all future dangers and challenges of life with courage if you manage to overcome it without giving up. You shall not accept this sad condition, but consider your pain as a necessary lesson that will only last for a limited period of time. You will not suffer so much forever, unless you insist on being a victim.

Don't look at yourself as if you were a great victim of destiny, but as a very strong person who experienced considerable suffering to learn truths that can be understood only with pain.
