“Don’t lose yourself,” the old, bedridden man said. I was five at the time, and my family wasvisiting him. I can’t remember his name or how we knew him. But two decades later, his wordshaunted me as I struggled to come to terms with my life. For years, I had suffered from depression.The first incident I can remember happened when I was 14. As I walked home one day, I wasovercome with the urge to sit in a corner and weep. I barely managed to reach our flat before
bursting into tears. These overwhelming, unexplained feelings frightened me.
By the time I was 16, these outbursts were happening about once a month. Most of the time I livedmy life normally, but then my mind seemed to take a life of its own. Initially they happened for noreason, but now everything became a reason – a frown from a teacher, first prize for an essay, along queue at a canteen stall. It didn’t matter whether the incidents were happy, sad or indifferent,all would be twisted by my mind into something horrible.
One incident I recall vividly was a call from a friend. After we chatted for a while, she said she hadto go because her mum was calling her. I spent the next two days agonising over whether she hadhung up because she hated me. A little voice in my mind kept telling me how worthless, hopelessand stupid I was. I kept this a secret because I was scared and perplexed. I remember once trying toexplain to my friend Alice, what was happening to me but I couldn’t find the right words to expressmyself and eventually gave up.
Not that my friends were completely unaware of my problems. More than once they tried to talk tome about my difficult home life. My father subjected my two younger sisters and me to terribleverbal abuse and my mother did little to support us. I now realise my family problems were a majorfactor in my depression, but at the time I denied anything was wrong.
When I was 17, I concluded that the only way to stop my suffering was simply not to feel anything.This wasn’t difficult because I was overwhelmed with my studies, two part-time jobs and lookingafter my sisters. I had no time to think, much less feel. At first the numbness was a huge relief fromthe mood swings, but it wasn’t long before I realised that there was a vast emptiness in my heart. Icould feel no emotions. It got to a point where I would cut myself just to feel something.
I had become afraid of being by myself. I felt as if I was being chased by a black hole that wouldswallow me whole. Finally, when I was 25, I decided that I had to end my life. Fortunately, I nevergot the chance. That night, I bumped into my 16-year-old sister Isabella outside my room. Her eyeswere swollen and she was sobbing. “I don’t know why. I can’t make the crying go away,” she said.I was horrified. I knew that depression could be hereditary. This incident jolted me to my senses .The desire to help Isabella prompted me to help myself.

I called my best friend Kath. I told her everything and on her insistence I visited a Family ServiceCentre and arranged to start counselling. I also joined a support group and started reading self-help
books. More important, I made a decision to get out of depression. I forced myself to make newfriends. I also convinced Isabella to start counselling and made her come out with my friends and Iinstead of being cooped up at home. Today, two years later, she is much better. She is taking a pre-university course and has a circle of supportive friends.
Depression is neither a choice nor a bad mood you can snap out of. It is an illness with anunderlying cause. But no matter how much other people try to help, only the victims can helpthemselves get better. My depressive bouts haven’t disappeared, but they are less frequent and lessintense. It has not been easy to share my feelings, but it’s getting easier all the time. And the best
part is, I have been able to help Isabella. I did lose myself, but I managed to find myself again.

32 Read the poem He Had Such Quiet Eyes below and answer the questions that follow.
(a) In stanza 1, what makes the woman attracted to the man?
.................................................................................................................................................[1 mark ]
L: COMPREHENSION
He had such quiet eyes
She did not realise
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest ice
To her, those quiet eyes
Were breathing desolate sighs
Imploring her to be nice
And to render him paradise
If only she’d been wise
And had listened to the advice
Never to compromise
With pleasure-seeking guys
She’d be free from ‘the hows and whys’
Now here’s a bit of advice
Be sure that nice really means nice
Then you’ll never be losing at dice
Though you may lose your heart once or twice
