19. Burning bridges to start over ALIKHATOUN - ALIKHATOUN.DEVIANTART.COM/ART/MOVE-ON-ORIGINAL-PAINTING-626069821 We all suffer from tragic occurrences in our lives. In the end, however, it is these experiences that mould us into becoming the best version of ourselves. We must learn to balm the wounds in our hearts, heal the scars in our souls, and let go of unfortunate events out of our control to move to a happier state of being. The path to happiness lies beyond the crossroads where adversity meets realisation.

18. Succumbing to the lows of intense yearning MARGARITA GEORGIADIS - MARGARITAGEORGIADISART.COM/APPS/PHOTOS/PHOTO?PHOTOID=153357259 Longing for something we had or have lost or never had, to begin with, can be debilitating. The vulnerability longing creates can compel us to idolise or desire someone or something to the extent that it leaves us in dismay when we don't see it actualise. Failing to get up from such a setback can leave us dispirited till we decide to live in the moment.

A family that stands up for each other stays together JOHN HOLCROFT - SOCIETY6.COM/PRODUCT/BROKEN-SOUL-N0R_PRINT#S6-4321975P4A1V45 Human beings are fragile creatures; adversity can shatter us in a manner that makes it impossible for us to piece ourselves back together. The pain you endure may also get instilled in the hearts and minds of your family members. It is often the same members who help you stand up back on your feet. It comes as no surprise that psychologist and counsellors habitually recommend people suffering from hardship to keep their friends involved in their life and their families even more so.

Being the victim of societal objectification S.YOSHIKO - SOCIETY6.COM/PRODUCT/BROKEN-WINGS-87V_PRINT#1=45 Sexual objectification, domestic abuse, sexual assault or innuendos, and human trafficking can leave you in a tormented state physically, mentally or emotionally. Most women have faced some form violence according to WHO that claims about 1 in 3 women worldwide to have experienced either physical or sexual violence. The impact of victimisation is sometimes so grave that it makes you shy away from society and may even make you suicidal; especially if you refrain from seeking help because of the stigma attached to being a victim.

Sinking into the recesses of hopelessness JAPETO9 - SOCIETY6.COM/PRODUCT/DEPRESSION-I6Y_PRINT#1=45 Sometimes you feel like you are sinking back into a space of doom and gloom. Any ounce of positivity you muster, tends to get beat down by the weight of the adversities you faced in the past. There's always light at the end of any tunnel; if you don't strive to crawl out of it for; however long it takes to do so despite the fact that it is difficult to see beyond the darkness that envelops you.

Confined in the trilogy of suffering JOHNNY GOLDEN - SOCIETY6.COM/PRODUCT/STRESS-ANXIETY-DEPRESSION_PRINT#1=45 Stress, anxiety, and depression — the complex web of woes that we all seem to be caught in, to no avail. Although they are closely interlinked with each other, these three aspects hamper your life at different levels. You respond to a tricky situation by stressing over it but may remain anxious because of the stress. You become engulfed in this state of being if you perpetuate in this state of sorrow or discouragement if you refrain from finding a way.

Crumbling under the weight of despair CLARALIEU - CLARALIEU.DEVIANTART.COM/ART/FALLING-SKETCH-NO-55-387424978 There are times when you are bound to feel physically and mentally out of control or stifled. Your inability to break out of this grip suppresses you to a point where you can do nothing but break under the enormity of this burden. We've become accustomed to this feeling and victimise ourselves till we realise the impact it has on us. The magnitude of the burden of depression has spread so far out worldwide that the WHO has claimed it will be one of the leading burdens on human beings by 2030.

Falling into the hands of a depressing state of mind ZARINASITUMORANG - ZARINASITUMORANG.DEVIANTART.COM/ART/FALLING-INTO-DEPRESSION-1-597167100 The several faces of depression tend to reach out to lure you into a state where you fall deep into the recesses of a gloomy existence. Whether it is a loss of a loved one, loneliness or depression due to the use of nefarious substances; harsh grievous circumstances can pull you deep down into the abyss of melancholy if you choose to keep to yourself about it.

Trapped within the confinement of your sorrows XFOSHIZZLEXX - XFOSHIZZLEXX.DEVIANTART.COM/ART/DEPRESSION-268683098 Solitary confinement of your thoughts within your mind not only takes a heavy toll on you mentally, but it also weighs down on other aspects of your life leaving you crippled over your obsessions, unable to deal with your reality. Similar to the effect solitary confinement has on the inmates of a prison, it may even leave you actively psychotic or even suicidal.

The demons in your head will not let you be ZARY - SOCIETY6.COM/PRODUCT/MY-DEMONS-JK1_PRINT#1=45 The demons in your head that refuse to budge could be trying to tell you something. How you feel about something or someone, your innate fears, things you are intolerant about or even your deepest desires; your thoughts could be triggering from an emotion you may or may not want to address. Either way, they may haunt you till you act on them.
