Being depressed implies being crestfallen and disappointed. You become depressed when things don’t go your way and the chips are down. Sometimes the going gets really tough and circumstances get the better of you. This is what primarily leads to depression. But one should understand that being depressed is certainly no way of dealing with hardships. Being depressed can have mental as well as physical repercussions. Depression always adds to your anxiety levels and never lets you stay at peace. Depressed people can never stay cool, calm and composed. They can never live their life and enjoy it to the maximum. Being depressed is no way of finding a solution to your problems. It will only waste your time and energies which can be rather spent in doing something constructive or perhaps in finding a possible solution to your problem. The rule of life is to get going when the going gets tough….perhaps one of the possible mantras to script your own success story. In the words of Julius Erving, “Being a typical Pisces, I might have experienced mood shifts, but I don't remember any depression, or needing to do anything or to have someone bring me out of being depressed.”
