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.👍.
