Depression; the silent disease

I never understood why i was feeling so low when i appeared to have everything around me. I did not understand why i had no motivation, why i felt alone and wanted to be alone or why everyone and everything seemed to upset and irritate me. I felt like i was drowning in sorrow. The more i tried to hide it from my friends, colleagues and family, the harder the burden became. I did not know where to go, who to speak to or if this was a common thing as no one i knew had ever spoken about feeling this way. Going to online platforms helped me understand it. I also got help and i understood i had depression. After getting better, i eventually decided to learn more and find and help others going through the same. We should not be embarrassed about mental health. We need to talk to our families and friends about it. families and friends should support those who are suffering in silence because some of the phases do not last forever.
