DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND USING THIS LOCKDOWN TO HEAL

The rejection from college was hard to take in. I lowered my expectations so much that I couldn’t help but notice I was an empty person. I was academically more involved in studies more than extras curriculars in school. So when I got rejected from college I personally got the feeling how lost I was. I didn’t do any sports nor was I involved in any organisations or groups whatsoever. I couldn’t turn back time and achieve all the fun I had missed over the years. I felt depressed and also suicidal at some points.

I made theories in my head, which made me collapse even more, about why I felt this way. Was it beacause I didn’t get into college? was it beacause I buried myself in a book instead of trying new things in school? and why? why me?. These where questions that struggled in my mind for months. Though quratine was a relief for my mental health I still had that empty feeling in me. By that time, I was assigned to a private course to study computing and technology, which was never my intention ever. But considering that I was living in a small country this course would give me a better job. So as to full fill my parents intention again, I was taking online lectures and studying programming/computer systems/mathematics. I tried to find every source of mental relief I can get. From apps, from websites, from YouTube channels, even from my pet cat

and i finnally reached there. So here are the steps to healing from rejection

2. Fill your schedule

maybe with self improvement activities or maybe activities just to help someone else on something, or maybe it could be something to entertain yourself like watching a TV show,but always keep yourself busy.Lonley, depressive thoughts creap in when you overthink, so don’t let ovethinking be a source to destroy your reputation.If you’ve got nothing to do start a side hustle project(explained later on) . How? Well, stay tuned for the next article on “Starting a Side hustle project”. Therefore always work for something/someone/just for the fun of it

3.Assignments/projects/exams

If you are in college or maybe following some programme to learn a subject, like me. You must be getting a lot of assignments and projects from your institution. This clears out my second step of keeping yourself busy. Finish these assignments/projects the minute they are out, keep your mind running through ideas, new things you can do to upgrade yourself. Also,finishing them before the due date always leaves you with extra time to take a break or work on something else or maybe Netflix and chill😉

5.Learn new things

I recently started learning HTML programming language. As a student learning computing I think it would benefit me a LOT in the future and I’m also started learning a bit of Spanish. I used to love Spanish, I personally think it’s a beautiful language to speak in. it’s elegant, pleasing and nice to just hear. So I’m working on that. This also highlights my previous point on how to keep yourselves busy and learning new things can personly improve you as well

All these tips helped me gain relief and personal comfort. I accepted the fact that I’m not a robot that can be controlled,nor am I a worthless soul as I used to think I was. I am me. Noone need to accept me for who I am or reject me for who am not,as long as I know who I am.
