Life is a journey and we need to go on…. I would like to compare our daily journey moods with different roads……Sometimes we will come across broad & wide roads, narrow roads, busy roads, roads filled up with potholes, lonely roads filled up with nature beauty………….

Somehow I feel like comparing the state of depression as journeying on log which is placed on the stream to cross which you do not like to move on….

When you are crossing the stream on a log…..

1. You will be going though that even though you are terrible afraid

2. You cannot move forward easily

3. Even though you know that you need to go on the other end you will struggle to cross and you cannot pass forward easily, sometimes blaming yourself for choosing that path or your fate etc.,

4. Your thinking will be so narrow that you cannot think any thing other than your state and about a bright moment where you end up this path and you land on the safe ground.

5. At times you may think I cannot do that and I want to go back

6. if that log is not enough to carry a single person, Sometimes a person trying to help you genuinely in that stage may cause harm, if he tries to come along with you to help you pass that stage, the log may not help and it may break which may end up in more worst situation

7. Or a person who is on the other side who had already crossed it may help you by his guidance

8. And lastly there may be a chance that you will enjoy that stage J

So when ever a stage of depression occurs, we may or may not help the other person. Sometimes he/she themselves can sort out the things and comes out with a broad smile. After going through the journey it really teaches you a lot, it tests your patience, intelligence, social relations…. The rest of the journey would be good if we can able to learn something out of it. It would be really easy to cross the same kind of path for second time compared to the first if we really realize the situation.

I really feel happy if people do not go through this stage, and I learnt that I can do nothing if they go through it, other than extending a helping hand when they really ask for….

There will be a bright sunshine after a deadly storm !!!
