I will not divulge to you my greatest depressions but I will share to you how to overcome it. Before depressions sinks in me I try to overcome it by praying right away to God. Prayers helps you unburden the feelings you have and gives you a calming effect. This way we can think better and see how we got into depressions and sometimes see the answer. That is why a lot of people will say to you "I will pray for you" when you are in any situation because they know that it helps in any way. Another is to give a positive outlook on all the things you do. Maybe something wrong happened to a thing because behind it is a better one. I hope you know what I mean.

Embracing my own humanity and accepting my own uniqueness as a gift is the greatest depression I have overcome. People around me do not see them positive qualities of mine. I experienced years of being an outcast during my elementary and high school years. I was often misunderstood by my classmates as they look at me as a weirdo. What they do not recognize is that everyone has his own weirdness inside. Talking about weirdness, it is a social construct. We have been accustomed to believe that everything that is popular suits everybody else. What we do not usually see is that some unique traits and talents are undermined. Remember that culture or anything that is popular starts from the faith and belief of people that becomes part of the habit when repeatedly done. In addition, when habits become a group practice, it becomes a culture. In my case, I have been a deep thinker since elementary which many people did not recognize. Some even called me as autistic or nerd. I was not able to tell them fully that their words hurt my morale. I lost my dignity towards my self. In encountered an identity crisis. I tried to seek for help, but the strength of peer pressure was so big that I barely survived. It was a big trial in my life as I tried to prove that I can also do things that they can do. I also think about things that are not the main concerns of most people. I do not like much of conventions, but I do not hate traditions. I respect other beliefs, traditions and ways of thinking of other people. What I just want is for them to stop pushing their ideals very much. Luckily, after years of efforts, I was able to overcome my fears and personal issues though the whole process may not be finished yet. At least I can claim that I owe them the failures and pains I had in the past that allowed me to discover my true self. In return, I am slowly trying to help others especially my friends to overcome their challenges in life by being a listener and a true friend.
