Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emily who had just started college. She was a bright and ambitious young woman, but she had never been in love before. That is, until she met Daniel. Daniel was charming, confident, and had a smile that could light up a room. Emily was smitten from the moment she laid eyes on him. They started dating and it wasn't long before they were inseparable. But as time went on, Emily began to notice some things about Daniel that bothered her. He was often late for their dates, and sometimes he would cancel at the last minute. He also seemed to have a wandering eye, checking out other girls even when Emily was right there beside him. Emily started to feel like she was second best, like Daniel wasn't really that into her. But whenever she tried to talk to him about it, he would charm her with his smile and she would forget all about her doubts. Things came to a head one night when Emily went to surprise Daniel at his apartment. She walked in to fin

Everything was perfect within the years. I can remember I have a good living even I don't have anything back then. I have a good memory of childhood even I know that my life wasn't perfect and life isn't stressful like now. When I was still a kid, I remember how big is my world; it as if the world is ours to play within. Kid memories were filled with a happy moment.

Every moment that I live is just perfect, even there was a problem, a lot actually, but it just passed by like that. I didn't think much about it; it's not my priority at that time. However, as I growing up, there's a lot of struggle in my life, and it just happened, just like that.
Depression can happen from any sort of occasion, from school, work, jobless, family history, money, or your personality. And it can happen to anyone. In 2017, I didn't realise that I had some sort of depression symptom, but I know that I have completely lost interest in anything I do. I feel sadder often than happy; I lose concentration and eventually affecting my work and school.
I don't know how it starts to tell the truth, but I guess the reason is that I was stress and unemployed. I was living in the city and running out of money; simultaneously, I have to plan to pay for my school and other utilities. But, I got a good and understanding family; they did help me in so many ways. However, I still have the guilt of being troublesome.
I thought that my stress was only on that period of a month, but it lasts longer than I thought, and it became worst as the year pass by. Throughout the years, I don't have the motivation in completing my study. I lost interest; I felt worthless, hopeless, tired, and falling behind. I totally lost interest in everything.
BREAKTHROUGH AND LIVES!
I seemed okay with my friends, but inside I have really shut my life from everyone. I kept everything to myself; sometimes, I was crying in the room and hoping that things would come back to normal as before, where I don't really feel too emotional or sad. Depression took away happiness; I am worried more rather than being okay with everything.

The worst scenario is when I felt like everyone is not giving me support, but they are there, giving their best to tell me it's okay. Comforting me with the words, but I just don't feel enough of it. I was trying to get open and try being optimistic, but it's too hard. Even I was attending an event in the church and try to be honest, telling everything, there's just a gap where my brain said they won't understand anything.
The year 2018 was my worst year; I have an issue with my thoughts, gain weight too much, and struggle to find life; I even had the self-destruction of ending my life. The pressure overtook my joyfulness. It's getting worst in the year 2019; I had severe sleeping trouble. I only slept for about 6 or 5 hours; whenever I tried to sleep, my heartbeat fast. I've been to the hospital for that year, checking on my health, I thought I was having a heart problem, but I had anxiety instead.
Everyone has a different way of dealing with their depression. One of the ways is by talking with someone that you trust. At the end of the year 2019, I was getting better with my situation. I can't remember how that happened, but I guess it's from talking with someone you really trust and understand. Sometimes the problem came from us (myself). We shut everyone else, and the result is we are getting worse.
In the early year of 2020, I'm learning on meditated and changed my lifestyle. I started changing my lifestyle; I often exercise, eat good food, read more books (a motivating book) and pray more. It's not the best year because of the pandemic and a lockdown, but it does give me a space to explore more in my life. I still had anxiety throughout the early year of 2020. But, things got better as I focus more on myself.

I hope you will get healthier in physical and mental health; depression is a silent killer; we can make this, talk to someone, find a hobby, and keep praying.
