MY DEPRESSION STORY
Hello guys
My name is Onaedo
I'm here to talk about my depression
People ask me
Why are you aren't you ever happy?
Despite how hard I try I can't bring myself to be happy
I feel stifled, ashamed and embarrassed.
Sometimes I wonder
how I became this way
I have an amazing family,
Good academic results
And loving friends
Everything is fine on paper
But all I ever see is sadness and grief
There is this burden on me
Pulling me down
And no matter how I try
I can't bring myself up
Living has become a struggle
And it's not good
My therapist would always say
Try to meditate
Try yoga
My problem can't be solved by exercise or meditation
It's a mental disease that affects every aspect of your life
Even till now
No matter how much I explain depression to people
They don't seem to understand
I wake up every morning
Feeling hopeless
And that has become my norm
I'm afraid of the society,
I'm afraid of myself
I'm afraid of the world
This is not fair
Do you think I like to watch myself grow so much self hate and pain
So I hide them
I create this character
That I'm happy
That I'm strong
That I'm invincible
That I'm perfect
So I live this two lives
One for the public and one just for me
Because it's easier than admitting that I have a problem
And that's the problem!
Stigmatization of people with mental health issues is real
And it won't stop until
We all agree that mental health is a big deal
Wake up!
And listen to the silent cries
Depression eats me up daily
It's real
Please stop the stigma!
