Day 1 – Depression

“The time is unfair”. And he sank his head into his hands. His hands supported by his legs. His hands supporting his head. “It’s all over” said he from his bent position. “I shouldn’t have done it” he said to himself. With these words the last hopes vanished. Heart-broken he sat there. Silence. A clear drop fell on the floor below his face. As it fell on the ground, it splashed in all directions. Was it his tear or was it his optimism that had just been shattered? No one knew it. No one heard it. No one felt it. Only he knew it. He had felt it.

The room was empty. The ceiling paint had come out. There were cracks all around him. He felt the same inside him. The emptiness of the room made him feel complete. Memories of the past flashed in his mind. He saw his friends and he saw them moving away from him. This couldn’t be true. He knew it wasn’t. This was just the way he felt. Weirdest thoughts came to him. He thought of ending his life in that little room. No one would come to know. But then, he saw the sadness on his parents’ face. He did not have the courage to see tears flowing from her beautiful eyes.

He couldn’t stop the thoughts coming to him. His mind was full of guilt, sadness. His mind showed him pictures of his loved ones. All bearing anger and fear on their faces, at the same time. His mind was like a crowded street full of busy people walking head-down. He lifted himself from the wooden chair and walked to the window. He could feel the wind blowing and the trees swaying from side to side in merriness. He could hear the birds chirping and singing in joy. Everything around him was bright and joyful. Only he was sad. And the happy atmosphere around him didn’t do no good. It only further depressed him.
