A
Plunge
into
Sadness
-
My
Journey
through
a
Dark
Phase
Depression
is
not
a
choice,
it's
a
disease
that
creeps
into
your
soul
and
takes
away
every
ounce
of
happiness.
I
was
going
through
a
similar
phase
when
my
world
was
crumbling
down,
and
I
couldn't
find
a
way
out
of
the
dark
tunnel.
I
turned
to
the
Internet
to
find
solace
in
grief,
and
that's
when
I
stumbled
upon
a
popular
website
that
had
a
section
for
'伤感繁体字网名英文.'
I
was
intrigued
by
the
beautiful
font
and
the
melancholic

that

Names
like
'孤独的旅人'
and
'心碎无痕'
resonated
with
my
emotions,
and
I
felt
a
sense
of
comfort
knowing
that
I
wasn't
alone
in
my
sadness.
I
even
adopted
one
of
those
names
as
my
screen
name,
which
gave
me
a
sense
of
identity
in
the
virtual
world.
However,
that
provided
only
temporary
relief,
and
I
soon
reverted
to
my
state
of
gloom
and
hopelessness.
The
days
turned
into
weeks,
and
the
weeks
turned
into
months,
but
my
depression
didn't
seem
to
abate.
I
secluded
myself
from
family
and
friends,
and
even
the
slightest
interaction
with
others
left
me
drained.
My
love
for
writing
kept
me
going,
though.
I
found
an
escape
in
the
world
of
words
and
poured
my
heart
out
in
poems
and
stories.
It
was
during
one
of
those
writing
sessions
that
I
chanced
upon
a
breakthrough.
I
was
revising
a
piece
that
I
had
written
during
my
happier
days,
and
I
felt
a
sudden
spark
of
recognition.
The
words
that
I
had
penned
seemed
alien
to
me,
and
I
couldn't
relate
to
the
happiness
that
they
conveyed.
It
struck
me
then
that
my
depression
was
not
a
personality
trait,
but
a
phase
that
would
pass.
I
couldn't
cling
on
to
the
sad
names
and
phrases
forever,
for
they
would
only
prolong
my
misery.
I
slowly
started
to
open
up,
and
sought
the
help
of
a
therapist.
It
was
a
gradual
process,
but
I
found
myself
on
the
road
to
recovery.
I
realized
that
my
search
for
comfort
had
led
me
down
a
dark
path,
and
that
I
needed
to
embrace
my
own
identity,
flaws
and
all.
Today,
I
look
back
at
that
period
of
my
life
with
a
sense
of
gratitude,
for
it
taught
me
to
value
my
emotions
and
seek
help
when
needed.
The
'伤感繁体字网名英文'
may
still
hold
a
special
place
in
my
heart,
but
I
have
learned
to
let
go
of
my
attachment
to
it.
I
am
finally
at
peace
with
my
own
identity,
and
I
cherish
the
happiness
that
comes
my
way,
knowing
that
it
will
pass.
