Depression led to.........

 

Today evening I was going through the life history of a prominent poet of the 20th century Sylvia Plath. She had a great life except for the trauma that led her to death at a very young age. Depression isn't a problem of the 21st century but it all started when humans began to think. We just can't ignore depression as it is a dangerous and deadly disease, everything around us seems to be confusing when you're depressed, with that you'll get anxiety and you can't be normal something in you will take over you. In the case of Sylvia, she had to go through a lot of tough times all alone and she always had this thought of ending her life she went through 2 failed attempts which turned out to be trauma and by which she drowned into depression. Although she was a great poet of American literature and also excelled in her academics I feel like her life lacked peace as it's the primary factor for a human to live. At the age of 30, she ended her life leaving her 2 children behind. She did have this thought of suicide from her childhood but now she has a responsibility on her shoulders what about her children? I'm not blaming her because it's really hard for a mother to separate themselves from their children. We never know how bad she felt thinking of her kids while making this decision. Then it doesn't end there, her son killed himself in 2009 when he was in his mid-40s. It was tragic. I don't know why but I felt bad after reading their life history and had an urge to share it with y'all. I heard someone say that 90% of people who think of ending their lives, need someone who can tell them to stop, killing ourselves won't give us anything but grief to the people around us. Let's be brave and face the challenges of this life.
