How I beat depression

How I beat depression How I beat depression ,  it started with a pill ,

The numbness that it brought me Was amazing to start , until,  
You mind goes blank and foggy

Your body just feels wrong

You don’t enjoy your favorite things

The days they feel so long

 

So I tried something different I

stopped the pills again

No more drinking alcoho

l I started to abstain

 

From harmful things I did before

The drink gave me no joy

I pushed myself to try explore

And stopped to self destroy

 

I found someone who got e

And supported me in all ways

Just count your breaths now 1,2,3

He calms me on those days

 

The ones where I can’t breath in deep

He helps to get me through

He stays up late when I can’t sleep

And holds me when I’m blue

 

My knight in shining armour ,

the one who gets me by

Not saying it’s all down to him

But he makes me want to try

 

Talking is a massive part ,

And people that you love

Someone to push you from the start,

When you need that willing shove

 

To get you up and out the door

when everything feels bad,

To be that person you lean on

When all you feel is sad

 

How I beat depression , such a funny phrase ,

Don’t think I’ve ever beat it But I now enjoy my days

 

How I beat depression , it’s not an easy thing

But it’s all to do with who you’ve got Then you can start to begin.

Good positive words here. The word "depression" conjures up
so many things but for those who endure its presence it is no
easy companion in life. I recall a time and some events in my
own long life when I suffered some of its effects. I knew too
well the feeling of "what's the point" as I set off to work each
day, but at the same time a part of my mind told me I could overcome it - and by constantly telling myself that it was
a phase that could be beaten, it happened that way and
and living became bearable again. For others, this may mean
help from confiiding in those who are close - and/or medication.
under supervision and guidance. But keep on telling yourself
that it can be overcome and you will feel the benefit.👍.
