Prologue

I regret writing this. But then it relieves me from the pain and suffering I have been going through. However, my time writing this story felt like a piece of shit. Just say I’m having a love-hate relationship with my manuscript containing a range of emotions that a few of them I can’t name. To sum my story up, I’m emotional as fuck, as you can say. But I always think this to myself that I should remember: Embrace it. It would’ve been better if I got therapy, but I would rather get my depression to die down. That way, I would hardly become depressed. Depression for me doesn’t seem to be too big of an issue. Or at least, that’s what I thought it would be other than you, maybe. I’ve been having this for a while now so here’s my FAQ of me and my depression:

Are you still okay? Well, I’m still alive, with my heart beating and my mouth still breathing the air …show more content…

Don’t feel bad now. Life contains full of problems to be dealt with so I’m not the only one who is going through this.
Are you okay with the life you’re having currently? Sometimes, I ask myself this. It’s like questioning if this is the life I should be living. Just so you know, I’m not going to commit suicide. Really, I’m not. There’s a big difference between questioning my life and having suicidal thoughts. I’m not trying to say that I hate my life and would want to kill myself to make things easier for everyone. The things I deserved to get in my life are the things I don’t want to have. My life revolves around my friends, mostly, school, and family. The three things everyone here in this world have. But it’s not what I should deserve to have. My family and school are the least of my problems. It’s the social life that is. I have friends who I shouldn’t deserve to have because they talk about stuff I don’t know about. Leaving my friends might be a great decision to do. Don’t take this the wrong way but it’s a personal thing I have to deal

  • Opposing Viewpoints on Depression

    As Descartes argued, the mind and the body are the base of our existence, and many different cultures view different illnesses positively or negatively. Certain cultures, like the Hmong, believe that epilepsy is a good spiritual thing, but others, such as Western culture, believe that it is medically bad because it could cause death. Many illnesses can be viewed both negatively and positively, some more than others. However, one such illness that is mostly viewed negatively is depression. It is viewed negatively in a symptomatic sense – the symptoms are useless – and in a diagnostic sense – those diagnosed with depression are not actually depressed and the illness itself does not exist; it is simply an excuse to be lazy. There are many different approaches to depression and most of them consider that this illness is negative; however, depression is actually an evolutionary tactic subconsciously employed by humans that can have very positive effects.

  • Analysis Of Prodigal By Bob Hicok

    Before my years in high school, I rarely put time and effort into studying and constantly associated with my friends at school; that is until I entered high school. The different competitive atmosphere at high school caused me to suddenly prioritize my studies ahead of everything else and my ambition became greater than ever. I began to interact less with my old friends and become less sociable with those around me. My parents also began to notice this drastic change and encouraged me to once in a while contact my old friends. During the beginning, I contacted my friends about two or three times a week, but the phone calls began to gradually diminish. I began to abandon my previous cheerful, ebullient nature in order to conform to the competitive, tense study environment at high school. As long as I successfully accomplished my goals and was accepted by others, I was willing to alter myself in order to assimilate into the mainstream environment. Through my hard work and perseverance, I was able to reach my goal and receive the acknowledgement of others; however, despite fulfilling all my ambitions, I did not feel any joy or satisfaction within myself. Even though I successfully accomplished my objectives in school, I realized that in return I completely sacrificed my social life. Despite being accepted by others, I began to feel a sense of loneliness and longed to

    Depression is a murky pool of feelings and actions scientists have been trying to understand since the days of Hippocrates, who called it a "black bile." It has been called "the common cold of mental illness and, like the cold, it's difficult to quantify. If feelings of great sadness or agitation last for much more than two weeks, it may be depression. For a long time, people who were feeling depressed were told to "snap out of it." According to a study done by National Institute of Mental Health, half of all Americans still view depression as a personal weakness or character flaw.

    This quote describes the middle school years and my early high school years almost perfectly.  Many nights I would find myself staying in, watching TV, doing one thing or another around my house.  I would almost never leave the house and I had nothing that could even remotely be called a social life.  My reason for doing this to myself was that I spent most of my time thinking about my future and wishing for it to come.  I had almost no kind of happiness for where I was or what I was doing in the present.  I cut myself off from the outside world.  I was rather shy around other people (I still am, admittedly) and I had very few friends.

  • The Most Important Decisions In My Life

    862 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I reach the seemingly boring age of 19, I am able to look back and reflect on how my choices in the past have gotten me to where I am today. One of the most significant decisions I have made in my life was to minimize my friend group. Now, losing friends is something you hear about before you even hit junior high. The common phrase is repeated over and over again, when referring to high school, “You find out who your real friends are.” As a scrawny little freshman, with no sense of reality, I refused to believe that that phrase would ever apply to my life. The end of my sophomore year is when my then, sixteen-year-old self, realized that that overused phrase was more relevant to my life than I wanted it to be. So I did something about it.
