For four long years, I battled a relentless and shadowy opponent: depression. It was as if a heavy, suffocating fog had enveloped my every thought and emotion, casting a somber hue over even the most joyful moments. 
          
          At first, it felt like a distant ache in my chest, an inexplicable sadness that gradually seeped into every corner of my life. Simple tasks became monumental challenges; getting out of bed felt like trying to move through quicksand. The once-vibrant hues of life faded into muted grays, and even laughter lost its lustre.
          
          The pain wasn't just emotional—it was physical, too. It was a dull ache that settled in my bones, a heaviness that seemed to weigh down every step I took. It was as if my body was a battleground for an invisible war, and I was the weary soldier fighting against an enemy I couldn't see or touch.
          
          Recovery was far from linear. There were setbacks that felt like plunging back into the abyss, moments when the pain seemed to reclaim its hold over me. Looking back, those four years of struggle now stand as a testament to my resilience. The pain I experienced, though excruciating, served as a catalyst for growth and self-discovery. It taught me the value of seeking help and the importance of speaking openly about mental health. It also allowed me to empathize deeply with others facing their own battles.
          
          Today, the shadows of depression still occasionally loom, but they no longer dominate my existence. I've learned to find beauty in the ordinary, to appreciate the small victories, and to hold onto hope even in the darkest moments. I wouldn't say I have completely healed but I'm not completely broken either. So happy depression day to me and to you guys reading I suppose find joy in little things around you today and celebrate my day with me:)

When I was a child all characters from Mahabharata seemed so inspirational. But growing up only Kumbhkarna's life made sense.
          ( Kumbhkarna slept for six months of the year and when he finally woke up he  ate everything in his sight. )
