The Power of Depression in Shaping our Lives | Jane Krukiel | TEDxYouth@Wilmington


Translator: Jumana Yousef Checker: Ayman Mahmoud

Depression is scary.

To be locked inside your mind,

Always attracted towards falling within yourself,

I hope that someone will come to save you,

It is the worst feeling that a person can wear.

Our minds are powerful tools,

Because they affect our thoughts, and they have the ability to convince us that we are nothing.

Sometimes you can feel the edge of existence,

The only way out of your problem is death.

Whatever you have reached of mental power,

Man is always weak in nature

Towards the forces of depression and all its causes.

The environment around us, our friends and family ..

And affect our mental and psychological strength.

We can not predict

Strongly impact those factors on us when depression exists.

We can be steadfast and tough in the face of depression.

We must learn to control the terrible power that exists within our minds.

We can stand together and unite,

We are responding to that disease.

Today I will share with you my story ..

Where deep depression has occurred.

My depression came because of my lack of preparation

Of the facts regarding the preparatory stage.

I was not well prepared for the impact

Both peer pressure and expectations of harmony and jealousy

And their influence on me

Which was greater than myself and my abilities.

Rather than face these new challenges with force and determination,

Allow fear, confusion, jealousy, and anxiety

Accumulation is like an internal cyclone.

Every day I went to school,

To the place that reinforced those negative feelings within me,

The negative mind’s control over my body increases.

He convinced me that I was nothing compared to my colleagues,

There is nothing in my ability to be a better person,

I found it difficult to adapt between that life and myself.

As a weak creature, like all of us,

Occurred in depression.

I found myself collapsed,

In a dark hole full of nothing I had dug myself

Giving up hope, happiness and tranquility.

There was no other alternative than falling.

So I lost control of my body and my health.

Bed has become a hiding place for me from the rest of the world.

I had no friends but my tears,

My thoughts have become my ears and listen to me.

Depression is one of the most frightening experiences

And deal with him ..

But at some point I realized that I must look deep into myself.

With psychotherapy and medication,

I started regaining myself and returning to my life.

I went back to school,

My focus was to fill my mind with science, rather than my own.

Negative thoughts were ignored,

So I started going back to my real identity.

I condone the jealousy of all kinds,

So I started looking towards the future,

The paths and opportunities can be reconstructed by myself.

And to get the best version of myself.

By rebuilding oneself,

I learned three valuable methods

Which helped me overcome my depression

And grow myself ..

Number one: The cause of your fears.

Depression always starts with fear,

Whatever the source: school, someone else’s death, your thoughts,

Or unexpected circumstances.

Gain stability and balance in your life

Requires you the power to face and overcome

And be determined to fight the obstacles that you will encounter.

This is a powerful experience,

Because you challenge beyond your expectations

And be your own way

Instead of letting you track someone else’s path.

Number two: Be yourself.

Our minds and thoughts

They act as powerful healers in shaping our identity,

Depression is confusing

By changing our course to be against whatever we aspire to be.

Instead of listening to your negative thoughts

And live the way others want you,

Keep your identity up to date.

Do not let anyone tell you what you should be.

Number Three: Work hard towards what you want to achieve.

Depression makes us feel that everything in our lives is impossible,

By shedding the strength of our minds and ideas against us,

And so depression makes us feel that our lives are useless.

Work hard to meet your goals,

With determination and hardness,

And so you get out of the hole that the depression has prepared for you.

Do not let anyone say you will not succeed.

Depression has taught me a lot,

In my dealings with the future

With less concern and better results.

Since I’m in high school now,

I use these three methods to skip every day,

So you can not be puzzled, anxious and scared.

High school where jealousy is born,

Which provides a climate of anti-individualism and self-expression,

In terms of adolescents feel pressure to follow ..

Girls in particular, because of society and its standards.

It is even more urgent

Let us always be strong in the challenge

Weak people

Became more and more profound in the 21st century,

Social media, technology and cultural change

Affects our reaction in the face of any challenge.

We can not predict the future.

Certainly our life after ten years will differ from our lives now,

We will gain experience and emotional resolve, to overcome difficult times.

There are countless factors including our friends, our family, and our environment

Affecting our response to the challenge.

Which helps us to prosper in the face of adversity,

But at the same time can be a hindrance,

Then we must pass through that obstacle.

In order to pursue our goals in the environment of the 21st century

We will look for the effect of these factors on mental health.

If they affect in a positive way, I cherish and preserve them.

But if they cause those factors

To influence our feelings in a negative way, Vtnjobha,

I work on building yourself

So be firm in controlling your life.

People will be exposed to the power of depression.

But together we can unite and have hope,

We stand up to that disease for ourselves and for others.

Thank.
