Depression.

 We are who we are. We are like everyone of you. We are humans but humans with a different kind of mind. We are humans who keep things in our minds for long periods. We are humans who choose to be alone in the crowd. We are a rare kind though you can find us in multitude around the world.

We know what it takes to want to express one's self but choose to be mute. We are who we are. We deal with oppression. We put up with being misconstrued . We are who we are. We are just like you, in boys, girls, youths and adults. We know what it takes to be misunderstood. We know that most of you don't and can't understand us but we are who we are.

We sometimes go through emotional breakdown but laugh like we are okay. We know that everyone has a particular problem in life but we are too depressed in our thoughts to comprehend why we are like this. We choose to be open when we want to and we equally do the opposite when we can't help it. We usually have lot of things to say but choose not to talk in order not to be misunderstood and subsequently feel sad and bad.

We are thinkers, critical thinkers, deep thinkers and most times, we do too much thinking. We act, react and pro act according to our perspective of situations which at times comes excessive. We sometimes lash out at others, we sometimes get too pissed to keep quiet,we sometimes go ballistic on trivia issues, we sometimes become aggressive, insulting, emotional and disrespectful not because we are like that but due to our long-held emotions.

We have several ways to heal, we employ diverse means to get better. We want to get out of our shells more often than we go into them. We cry, brood and go sad for days, weeks and at times months. We look for means to stop being depressed. We talk to people about it when we can. We look for Shrinks and other professionals who can help us get well. We move around just to find internal peace and tranquility. We are who we are.

We don't want your pity nor do we need your apathy. We are not clamouring for affection. We are not agitating for attention. All we ask from you, you and you is Understanding and nothing short of that in the sincere form. We want you to understand us that we are not as bad as we might look but we are who we are.

We want you to criticise us less. We want to be regarded first as humans. We don't want you to be judgemental about us. We want you to understand us and the fact that we are like this not because we chose to but as a result of several uncontrolled circumstances. We are like this because life has shown us several sides. We are like this because we think about all of these and many others constantly. We are like this because we are humans.

This is dedicated specially to all individuals around the world who are going through one tough phase or the other, emotional meltdown, rejection, oppression and real time depression. We will all come good because we are humans and as humans we learn how to heal and fight and soar and strive and struggle and evolve and become better.
