Depression-Deadly Desertness

‘I am helpless!’ …’I feel hopeless!!’.. ’ No one can help me out!!!’.. -These are some of the leading thoughts of a depressed mind. The agony of a person suffering from depression is unbelievable.  A depressed person feels disheartened, dispirited, abashed and secluded.

But the main question is to find out the reason of this depression. And not just one but many factors are responsible to drag a person towards the depression!

According to a survey, more than 50% of the depression victims are teens & youth!!!!!! And the reason behind is that, the youngsters easily become distraught. Even a small problem, which is an inevitable part of everyone’s life, is considered a forever problem by the youth! They sink in the ocean of problems, become feeble and make a simple situation so complex & messy that they find it impossible to come out of that. They make a fuss about the trifle!!! Instead of wisely tackling those problems, they try to run away from them! They forget that ‘running away from the problem would only increase the distance from the solution.’ And all these fatuous tragedies happen to them because they don’t plan and act accordingly! This tech-savvy generation lack patience & expect everything to happen at the click of a button. They plan to reach the pinnacle but fear to bell the cat! All their plans are built upon sand!

Some of the major troubles that the adolescents face today are:  financial problems, love-loss, peer-pressure, academic burden, betrayal, ragging, bullying, heartbreaks, under-estimating, incompetency, delayed success, fate, conspiracy … and the list continues.

Today, everyone dreams to live a ‘king-size’ life. And while chasing that big dream, they create problems! Youth should manage their personal & social life, but many times they fail to do so. This leads to insane pressure and burden! Ultimately, teens underestimate themselves and start thinking that ‘I am good for nothing!’ They become self-centered and get trapped in the cobweb of violence.

To get rid of such fatuous feelings, youth choose an outraged way-they turn towards alcohol & drugs!! Their malaised minds force them to drink and smoke. Thus, they handover themselves to the DEVIL of DEPRESSION! And then this devil will lead them to another vague path- SUICIDE! Finally, they approach the ‘doomsday’!!!

The depressed person starts feeling that no one can do well to them & they are useless and feckless. They decide to QUIT and shorten their life just for the sake of getting an ultimate solution!

But if the youngsters stop underestimating themselves and start thinking that ‘nothing is permanent- not even the problems.’ , they can save their life from getting ruined! We’d believe in ourselves & have faith in God. & one day we can save ourselves from our ‘so-called’ unending problems. We should scare this devil of depression and not let it lead us. After all – ‘When we stop being afraid, we start finding the way-out…”!
