DEPRESSION


 Depression 


Everyone is scared to even utter that word.People feel it is shameful .Mental health is neglected .Being human beings we do have mood swings .It is natural.

Mostly everyone in their lifetime experiences such issues.It may be due to a big calamity like loss of a loved one or the reason may be very minute to the others around.

The reason I decided to write this article is because I myself have been through this and so many people I know too .As ladies due to hormonal changes there are mood swings,like  during postpartum. Some people experience such thoughts even when they face some changes in life .

If you know anyone who is feeling low,don't disgrace them , instead support them,give them extra care and take them to specialists if required.

Even a lot of famous personalities experience this.Happiness has nothing to do with success,wealth or well being.You can be the poorest man and still be happy.

What is Depression?

Feeling low all the time,loosing interest in everything you used to enjoy,preferring to stay alone all the time,lying down most of the time, getting very irritated with others,fatigue,loss of appetite or overeating,some even get suicidal thoughts .

Nowadays even children face such problems.Many a times people around are responsible.It may be due to excessive shaming by others regarding body,looks, character anything or comparison with others.

Feeling of loneliness,not able to socialize etc.

A note to people who are depressed-

 You are not alone and it isn't your fault 

It may be due to hormonal changes or situational changes 

Seek help from people whom you trust and love 

Do not harm yourself or others 

Always find time for yourselves and do things you enjoy instead of living your lives according to others .

Remember you are answerable only to your Lord and provided you are not doing anything to displease Him it's alright 

You are strong  and beautiful .

Love yourself first.❤️

Smile even if you don't feel like it ,🙂

Think of all the blessings from your Lord and have Gratitude

Meditate,pray, exercise and think of those below you.🏃🧎🤲

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age. But you start getting feelings of regret,your self confidence is affected and you may feel less valued Both men and women go through this,but studies show that women face more issues,be it psychological or physical.It is the reproductive period of a woman 's life,where she may experience perimenopausal symptoms, sometimes irritability,fatigue etc.It is also a time when your children are either growing up,grown up and your parents are ageing.Hence it is the peak time of responsibilities. Hormonal changes, maybe weight gain,greying of hairs,hair fall, different body aches are all part of middle age. Some women have early menopause and this too affects their health.Menopause leads to loss in bone density (osteoporosis) ,hence bones fracture easily,hot flashes,tantrums ,mood sw...

 I was thinking 🤔 of the topic for my next blog when I thought it should be about children. Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them. Some personal experiences-  Shaza was born,she was the first granddaughter on both sides too.She was basically a quiet baby,who didn't create much trouble for me. Along came Amani,she was a 'tomboy' who was a little naughty. Liyana was more like Shaza.She was also quiet not very naughty . Aiman ,the boy after these 3 was and is indeed naughty😃. It amaz...
