CUDI & DEPRESSION

Written by: Jordan Esparza

IN MY MIIIIIIIIND, IT FEELS LIKE OOOOOOOOOOO!!! Because of... Cudder. I remember those cold lonely days of high school when I felt like I had nobody and nothing to look forward to I'd be blasting his tunes through my headphones blocking out the bad thoughts and welcoming good ones.

Since I was in 7th grade I've been absorbing the sonic hums and extraterrestrial rhythms of Scott Mescudi daily. When I think of music, I think of Cudi. When I think of a time I was sad and how I got through it, I think of Cudi. When I think of how I found my own value of my life, I think of Cudi. He is our hero. And for some of us, our savior.

He's recently checked himself into rehab due to depression and suicidal thoughts. Crazy to think the doctor is suffering from the things he heals his patients of that bad. These things can grasp any of us and often it's hard to tell. Please, pay attention to your friends and loved ones. Please, take people's cries for help seriously. Even the ones that may seem "silent". It's very important that we love one another and help each other get way from those deep dark mental and emotional ditches we sometimes fall into. While some may be familiar with the signs & symptoms of depression most people are not.


Signs & symptoms of depression include(but are not limited to): Hopelessness, weight loss or gain, slowness in activity, anxiety, social isolation, & suicidal thoughts.

For anyone also struggling with these issues know that brighter days are ahead. And as for you, if you ever read this Scott, let go. Life does get tough. No need to stress. It holds you back too much.


Love,

All of us
