DEPRESSION IS MERELY

ANGER WITHOUT
ENTHUSIASM
WHEN I HEAR THIS TOPIC A POEM COMES TO MY MIND.
“Depression is anger without enthusiasm.”
I don’t believe that for a second,
I think depression is loneliness,
Feeling so lonely inside
Even if the world surrounds you
And knowing you can’t blame anyone but yourself
But that’s just me.
And even worse
When the people you’d think know you best,
Don’t even notice.
Depression to me is
An overwhelming feeling
of defeat
Feeling that somehow,
In a game, you verses life
You lose
And there is no
Double or nothing
Or a such thing as re-do’s
Some of us accept it
And try other strategies
Others are left
Only to dwell
On what tactics they could have changed.
Depression isn't just anger without enthusiasm. Depression is
everything without enthusiasm. Depression is the dingy off-white
corner of a dirty apartment, where you sat numb to the colours of the
world. There's nothing mere about depression, either. Just the
opposite--depression makes it so that nothing is "merely"
anything. Everything is a struggle, including all the stuff healthy people
take for granted: eating when you're hungry, sleeping when you're tired,
washing when you're dirty, socializing when you're lonely.Your
common sense will run circles in your brain, shouting about the things
you should be doing and thinking and feeling, while you avoid doing any
of that. So, gradually, your voice of common sense will become a voice
of judgment and scorn, more fuel for your depression.
CONCLUSION:

• Depression has a bad habit of causing a person to fail to even try. Anger
has a bad habit of making us lash out at others instead of improving
ourselves. Neither one of them is terribly constructive. Some people
spend a lot of time shifting between the two emotions until they can
figure out a path out of their problems. But if you have the willpower, you
will find the right path.
