Have you heard of depression?
What did you hear?
That she makes your heart feel empty…
She hides your joy in places you cannot find…
That she is the void that refuses to fill no matter how much you pour into it…
Or that she covers your face in a film that looks like the end of the world is here?
Yes, you are right, but you would be wrong to believe she’s only that.
She’s as versatile as the fishes in the ocean.
As cunning as the tortoise in legends, leaving you to be happy, have fun, and seem wholesome in the presence of others; but slowly creeping back in when you’re alone.
She’s the one that lets you think you have done nothing with yourself, and then you count your blessings, but she says they don’t count.
She’s the anchor that doesn’t keep you steady but lets you sink further into the abyss until you cannot find yourself.
Should you fear her? No.
As cunning as she may be, you can control her.
Finding her weakness is quite easy if you know where to look.
She hates to be talked about, because then you know…
That with the right help you would be rid of her.
Shall I tell you an open secret?
MANI is here to help.
