Work on the cruise ship is often undervalued, hectic, and difficult living environment. The same is also for the health of the cruise ship. Before you get a job on a cruise ship, there is a complete medical check-up for work on the cruise ship. They will check everything about you, except your psychological state or if you have some depression. Many crew members are forced to accept cruise ship jobs due to huge bank debts, ill family members, etc. Those crew members are willing to sacrifice themself to help others. Yet, often, depression can reach further development of the hectic working and living environment on board the cruise ship...

The toll on someone's mental health can sometimes be devastating. There were many people I had met on the cruise ship, beautiful people who kept dealing with severe depression. Some people will now say depression, but that is impossible to work on a cruise ship with depression. Yes, it is possible. I am the one who experienced it myself, working for eight months and smiling at all passengers and colleagues, but nobody knew that I had a tremendous battle inside of myself. That battle was silent, never shown to everyone out of respect for my job and professional work approach.

But sometimes it gets complicated; you feel that you can't do it anymore... That's how I felt at times. Suppose you are one of those people working with depression on a cruise ship. This week I will try to remind you about your unique beauty, that your life matters more than anything else. When you work on the ship, it's a kind of enclosed living environment; often, you can feel like a bubble about to explode any second. Here is the-No matter what happens, no matter the injustice, unfairness, your inner pain or suffering, the bad times do not last. Tough people do last. And yes, the sun will rise again; never forget that. If you are fighting with some tough depression, and for some reason, you are scared or shy to tell anyone else, here are a few words you need to read...

During particularly hard, brutal times of life, especially on board the ship, many of us have had the experience of feeling like it would be better off if we weren't here or feeling so despairing that we think about giving up on life. 

This post is for you if this is where you find yourself now:

If you find this post in the middle of the night, Googling at 2 am about how to keep going when you don't think you can, I hope this article reaches you, and even one reason from the many listed feels like the fuel you need to just get to the next day.

Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life and your attitude toward yourself. Whether you're optimistic or pessimistic, it may even affect your health.

Indeed, some studies show that personality traits such as optimism and pessimism can affect many areas of your health and well-being. Positive thinking usually comes with optimism and is a key part of effective stress management. And effective stress management is associated with many health benefits. If you tend to be pessimistic, don't despair — you can learn positive thinking skills.

I know life on the cruise ship can be hard. You don't have your family and friends next to you to talk to about your daily problems and concerns, but remember that the most beautiful sunrise always comes just after dawn. No matter what happens, whatever you experience that makes you feel broken, remember that you are uniquely beautiful and loved, and respected by more people than you can even imagine. Keep going forward; better days are in front of you! Stay safe, and God bless you!
