When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

Then, shit broke loose. I lost that shining ray of hope. I was dull and empty. Nothing seemed to happen and I found everything hopeless. Life was stagnant, responsibilities were not worth my time and death seemed good. Before you wonder what this is about, note these points:
The East Wind has gone away and blown my emotions over the horizon. But what is left behind, it now sprouts my new outlook and respect for life.
Depression sucks out your motivation to celebrate. It makes you lethargic and lazy. Waking up in the morning, doing simple things, which on other days you do in a jiffy are a marathon. But you must take baby steps and overcome your apprehensions. Just do that thing, forget about other things. (P.S: Remember the end of King's Speech)
The most important realization which hit me was that it is up to me to come out. Your loved ones will talk with you, wipe your tears, spend those sleepless nights with you. But they cannot push out your inner demons. That happens from within. Make up your mind, nothing else. No tablets, pills, food will do the needful. Most importantly, Don't repress your emotions. Dance, sing, eat, paint, run, basically do whatever you feel like doing.
One can compare depression with the Long Night, the hell that will never end. You will feel that this is going to last forever. But you must remember, everything passes. It is not a pleasant feeling, especially once you come back into your routine. But now, I am much more empathic about my emotions and those of others. It gives you balls to help others.
Lastly, depression gave me another reason to appreciate the sunny days. After the storm, a little sunshine is good. I expect it to come back, it is a psychological phenomenon with physical effects. But I am well equipped for the next wave.
