I am confused.. this is sort of a happy confusion rather..
Am I depressed or am I inspired?.. I guess I have learnt a way and it is absolutely magical!
I have seen my depression giving birth to my inspiration. Every time I felt low, it inspired me to write about something positive. The pain urged me to find out a way to convert itself into happiness. And that’s what I did. I tried to inspire myself and everyone around to be kind, supportive and stay connected with each other through my posts on WordPress.
The Blogging Series that I published recently is also a product of me fighting with depression. Following is the list of all the blogging series posts for which I received phenomenal response –

Every time I defeated my depression by writing an inspirational post. Your support made me write more to spread the positive energy around and to get help from it and at the same time helping others.
I guess, I won… and you helped me with the same. I made my depression to work the best possible way for me.
Fantastic! Isn’t it?

It is said that depression has been the key to unfound creativity for some people. Many poets and famous writers who have experienced depression have been able to successfully channel their numerous emotions into words.

I certainly used it as a weapon and make it to help me feel empowered. I hence came with a mission to support my fellow bloggers and spread kindness around. Turning negative into positive was the the idea and believe me – it was a hit. And my dear, We are all good and successful for we have each other… No one is more or less here and the best part is our togetherness… Loads of love to you…

I heard that it is usually the creative people who would experience Depression and put the pain that they went through to their writings. I am sure that Depression has produced the best writings for you as well as for myself. Writing it all down and making it vulnerable made it all seems real.
