DEPRESSION ISN'T A CHOICE.

Season greetings to you all.
Welcome to my blog, I hope everyone had a good weekend?
This is my first posting in this group, and the contest in question piqued my curiosity. We appreciate the chance to share our stories as victims of trauma and depression provided by @minimalistliving . You know, most of the time individuals experience depression due to circumstances, not because they want to. However, mine wasn't any different.
My parents were pretty strict with us when we were young, especially when it came to our schooling. They really thought that receiving a decent education would help you become a respected member of society. My brothers and I were forced to read our books every day. I had no problems reading my books since I had this insatiable want to learn more, but as usual, teenagers would always be teenagers and want to play sports, play video games, and hang out with other groups of kids our age. I struggled with schoolwork, reading, and other things throughout my high school years.
When it came time to write on a test or an exam that I had studied for, I would just blank out. Some people refer to it as "exam anxiety." It continued for a few of years. I would constantly ask God for his compassion and assistance in my prayers. My peers would often make fun of me and bully me. My parents and instructors almost gave up on me. Traumatizing was the experience of being branded stupid and dumb. I had developed depression, and I often had suicidal thoughts.

I immediately needed to figure out the best strategy I could use to assist me let go of that fear and reclaim my sanity. I spoke to someone about my problems, and he gave me tips on how to search for techniques to assist me remember what I read. To assist myself comprehend better, I began by making notes as I read and simplified concepts to the best of my ability.
I learned that I couldn't read well under pressure or around other people. I found that chewing gum kept me awake, which is odd how that works, then finally on the test day, I make an effort to not put too much pressure on myself while answering questions.

I saw certain improvements when I put these straightforward advice into practice. Yes, it is a complete success. I was able to overcome my worries and emerge from that despair. My academic records changed as the days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and as I took additional examinations and tests. I was really proud of myself and the person I was becoming.

According to my own experience, the reason I clung to such trauma was because I felt like a failure and a disappointment and wondered why I couldn't be like other brilliant kids. But one day I told myself I was capable of doing it. I was motivated to improve, and although it took some time, but it was worthwhile. My recommendation to those who are victimized is to speak to someone and not keep silent if you are going through difficult circumstances and finding it difficult to get out of them.
Additionally, make every effort to locate your happy spot and discover the location you can call home. It may be a member of your family, something else, or anybody.

Well, That concludes today's blog, Thank you for reading, and Merry Christmas everyone.
