i don't know whether this is the right forum for this but because people come here to be inspired and motivated and this is what i'm trying to do with writing this i thought this would be the perfect forum for it. P.S.: excuse the spelling mistakes if there are any because i'm in a hurry and very busy. depression is good you.. heard me..it means your alive your brain is alive that it wants to be happy that it wants to achieve greatness it's very painful but such is life ,that makes the happy moments that much more delicious ,let me give you an example: if u take a piece of chocolate and eat it and savor it as much as u can i want you to try and get the most amount of dopamine you can out of this piece don't eat a hole box just a piece or 2 then after a while eat something u really hate any food or drink that you hate .. similarly i want u to saver the bad flavor as much as u can ,then after drinking a glass of water to wash off the bad taste eat another peace of the same chocolate does it feel the same ??? ... of course not it feels a lot better why?because you tasted such a bad taste that the good taste got that much better .. all the good feeling in the world wouldn't feel so good if we haven't tried the bad ones for example if your born rich i guaranty you cannot feel as good as someone who was poor and just won the lo-tarry and became as rich as you are because he knows how bad poorness feels like when he became rich it felt that much better these are not just theories these are realities u encounter in your daily life and i like to compare life to a power point presentation(strange i know but bear with me) the presentation some times (especially if you're in med school like me) can be really long like a 100 slides and there's like a boring long certain concept that takes most of the lecture but no matter how bad it is you can put up with it because u know eventually the next idea will come with one of the next slides .. an idea or concept that you're really excited about , same in life you can put up with pain because you know it'll eventually subside as long as you have hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel..but if you don't then you'll never make it ,so believing in yourself is not a luxury it's a necessity . but what's the point of all this? the point i want to make is that no matter how depressed or blue u feel like ..even if everything in your life feels like it's missed up remember that because of how bad it is right now it's going to feel that much better when you reach the end of the tunnel.. so don't set and do nothing ..and take the beat down from life(because this is you not having true hope of how things will be) get up and work, study, function, because the show must go on don't rush the end because it's going to come eventually (as long as you have faith in yourself and act like it) but enjoy the journey and remember ..the slide will change eventually . stay healthy stay strong .
Thank you for the post Mazen! Very true. Without depression we could not feel the effect of happiness. Real good one.
