I am being urged to write on it, however, I don't know, I didn't want to.  But anyways, here I am with my perspective.

Since the suicide commit of Shushant Singh, an Indian actor is announced, everybody is talking about the hashtag, that is:

#depressionisreal

Indeed, depression is real and the most worst mental condition to deal with. Still, it's not impossible to conquer this. Yes, it's not IMPOSSIBLE!!!

You can fight with your depression only if you have even a pea-sized hope in your heart.

But, first, I will discuss about depression and it's causes.

Depression And It's Causes

Depression occurs when you over-think about outrageous things happen in your life. Well, it makes you feel more bad when the already in-place adverse situations don't get back to normal. With this, you think that it will be like this forever. 

In short, the depression is where there is no hope - Hope is that positive feeling that works as a light or a blooming flower in the hot cranky days of life.

So, the depression makes the mental state worst day by day if the person always perceives things negatively and never shares it with others or even with ALLAH.

(I know many of you people would not agree with me.)

But, it is what it is...

Also, causes of depression can be less bothering to severe and it depends upon the person's reaction over it. 

Some of them could be:
  • Financial instability
  • Marital problems
  • Non marital issues
  • Fame or defamation
  • Health problems
  • Regrets
  • Lack of communication
  • Loneliness
And many more...

How Can You Fight With Depression?

The mystery that was hidden above will be unfolded here.

Well, when you are in the middle of nowhere but despair, you wish to have someone beside you who can listen to you without interruption. 

Unfortunately, we seldom find anyone who is courageous enough to listen to others because everyone just wants to tell what he/she feels and least interested about what others have in their mind and heart.

At this point, you remember GOD. Yes, ALLAH who is the most Beneficial and the most Merciful. However, we don't have to tell Him the whole story from A to Z. Still, He loves to listen to His human beings without any interruption.

So, definitely, talking about every nitty-gritty details with ALLAH would help to come out of this depression.

Let's get a wing to my personal experience.

My Real-Life Case

When I was a kid, I had never spent a very well-off life due to financial instability. Yet, it wasn't a bad childhood. Why? Because in all the worst times of my life, ALLAH was there with me. He always ask me to speak and said, I will reply to you. 

So, it became my habit to share everything with Him since then, and with HIS grace, still is the same even when I had to face a lot of big things in my personal life. I never disconnected my relationship with ALLAH.

Every day and every time (especially at night right before I sleep), when I feel something, I talk to Him in my heart and sooner or later, I feel like peace entered into my body. With this, my faith in HIS existence gets firm.

Eventually, when you start talking to ALLAH, not only your Emaan (faith) gets stronger but also a beautiful yet the most peaceful feeling of hope enters your body which end up taking away all the depression from your life.

Hope Is The Way To Life

Literally, doesn't hope sound sweet? Well, I feel it so. Hope is itself a way to life and indeed it is right. Hope brings peace to mind, soothe your heart, and brings smile to your face. 

Hope makes you a positive person, and kick-off the negativity from your life.

So, if you are hopeful, you would never be depressed again. Also, hope only resides in the hearts where the faith in ALLAH is strong. 

End note:

Hence, once you develop enduring faith in ALLAH like a hard stone, the hope will automatically enter your heart and would crush down all the negativity that causes depression. 

Happy Reading!

  1. Well said,
    Level of depression changes/ varies according to the age. For example in younger age children got depressed of being ignored or unable to get what they want. Then it changes toward the communication depression and then lackage of achievement related and in the end depression caused by relationship and career. No, one is out of it. But what we need is here just to find the solution or help those who are in depression. I myself Becom the victim of this thing. So, I always tried to find a friend or any person to whom i can share. And feel relaxed. Also, recently a friend of mine from overseas always contact me whenever she is depressed. And I feel very happy whenever I help her to calm down.

  2. Very well said. No doubt sharing is the best way to fight depression and who else can be a better listener than Allah because he is one who won’t judge us on being us. Only Allah can guide us to the best.
