I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression With Kindness (Expanded Edition - 2021)

• Feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt
• Loss of concentration or indecisiveness
• Recurring thoughts of death or suicide
I’m blessed to have a professional and experienced psychiatrist
with me along the journey of depression. I hope you too can find a
good doctor and treatment for yourself. I feel less lonely these days
as I’ve a group of supportive friends with me along this journey;
some of them also have depression like me. We hold one another’s
hands tightly as we overcome challenges and discover happiness in
life.
My psychiatrist always reminds me that with each battle with
depression, I’m becoming stronger and stronger. He often says,
“Everything happens with some good purpose.” Well, I certainly
never asked to be depressed. But since I already have it, I might as
well make good use of my experience for growth, thus sharing and
building a better world.
