Will is a Thread
My will isn't strong. It isn't powerful. It's just always there. My will is a thread. Barely keeping me alive. But that's all that's needed. There's no celebration when you beat depression. There's no medal. No reward. You just go back to living. All you get from fighting depression is pain and scars. There isn't a silver lining. You don't come out stronger. You come out different. Broken, damaged, weakened. You might heal. You might not. No one cares except, sometimes, those close to you. There's no fame or glory for winning. You just get to live. But that doesn't change the fact that willpower isn't a cable. It's a thread. Unbreakable. Invincible thread.

When depression isn’t depression
I have a real issue with depression being termed a mental illness… wait, let me finish… because sometimes depression isn’t depression. Sometimes it’s a normal and natural state of being and by calling this depression we are labelling a whole group of people as mentally ill when in fact they’re perfectly well.

Teal
Teal The woman sat on the edge of a pale green sofa, her legs crossed at the ankles. She was thinking, he supposed, as she stared unblinking off into space. The sun filtered in through a window, making the woman’s short red hair flame against her ivory face. Her white shirt gaped a little in the middle where the buttons strained to hold hands. She sighed then spoke, “I remembered that the nursery was painted teal, I always remember the colours of things, especially since that day. I also remember pain,” she looked up at him, her brown eyes deep in memory, “I was in labour for eighteen hours.”

Memories: My Most Relentless Enemy.
I am convinced that hell does not exist, well at least not as an entity outside of ourselves. Whether there is life after death, that remains to be determined, however I emphatically believe that a merciful and just God would not allow for the existence of a place that could be more dreadful and painful than our own mind, more specifically our memories. Oh memories, like the corners of my mind, yeah…. memories like the deepest, smelliest, hottest corners of hell. Don’t get me wrong, memories can bring smiles to our faces, joy to our hearts and calmness to a racing mind, but boy oh boy, on the flipside, memories can stagnate you, cause tears to roll down your face at the most inopportune moments, memories, the cause of insomnia, the cause of depression, crippling anxiety and so many other unpleasant things.

Not Enough
That feeling the you get when you're sitting alone in the dark. It wells up in you. Choking... Constricting... You can't breathe, but you keep it to yourself not wanting anyone to know. Its the voices in your head telling you; you're not good enough... You're not strong... You can't handle this... Its something everyone deals with, but nobody talks about.

A Different Kind Of Depression
The test results weren't concise. I might have not followed the instructions strictly or I was simply destined to fail a process that consists urinating on a stick but the words were there: "You might be pregnant. Repeat the process". What do you mean I might be pregnant? Did I just kind of pass the test? Am I going to have to repeat what I have just done for the first time - and hated?

Are you Depressed?
Depression is Mental turbulence that rips your mind and soul into “bits and pieces”. And people nowadays think that it's just a mental illness just like common cold and flu. And how common does it? One amongst four in a family? I can bet you if you have been ever into depression you must have felt suffocation even in a properly ventilated room. It feels like someone is blocking your windpipe. Sometime you felt anxiety attack also. And it's really difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, they often confuse it with sadness. I know sadness it's different. Sadness is to cry and feel.
