Blast it all. I enjoy writing on the goofy side of topics. But I can't right now. Because here's an unfortunate fact. I prefer not to mention it at all. But, here's the deal. You are a person, or you know someone relatively well who has struggled with depression. And quite honestly, most people really don't understand it. Sad to say, I do. This condition strikes many millions of people every year throughout the world. The ensuing tips certainly can't instantly set a person free from this condition. However, as a past sufferer myself, I wish to offer 8 suggestions for encouragement (not essentially in order of importance). So, here they are.
1. Recognize that you are not on your own in this world of the depressed. In the U.S., more than 19 million people struggle with depression. More women report symptoms of depression than men, but I am a good illustration that males are prone to this problem too. Depression is sadly more frequent for young people.
2. There is much, much hope! Remember: Depression can be adequately treated. You can feel better. Psychological health experts reveal to us that the majority of people who deal with a depressive occurrence (80% or more) can feel better when they get an effective treatment method of a variety of types. Sometimes it takes a while, however, you CAN BOUNCE BACK! So, look forward to that time, and whenever you feel exceptionally disheartened, keep in mind that these feelings will not stay with your forever. Cling to that truth!
3. Don't ever emotionally beat up on yourself. Regardless of what set off the attack of depression, know that you are a person of exceptional significance. I am a minister and I hope you're in no way offended, but you are without a doubt a person of tremendous importance in the mind of The Almighty One. The hardships and sadness of depression do not mean that you are a worthless or bad person. On the contrary, some individuals come out on the other side of depression with the newfound ability to encourage numerous people because there are so many men and women who cannot relate to the condition of depression.
4. De-fang depression. Whenever you have your very first incident of depression, you may not realize what it is, and it might really be frightening. However, if you were to have recurring bouts of depression (that unfortunately is not unusual), you can take the fangs out of depression t through acknowledging what it is, verbalizing what it is, and setting about the procedures necessary to recuperate. The more that you understand what your disorder is, and that it is temporary, you will gradually discover yourself being much less fearful of depression if and when it occurs. You can begin to de-fang this thing we call depression.
5. Remember that the state of clinical depression is very different in comparison to simply getting the blues. The term "depressed" is often used by those who actually do not have an idea regarding what true depression is. Folks say, "I'm really depressed right now," when in fact they are actually experiencing a simple case of the doldrums for any number of reasons. The date didn't go well. The supervisor yelled at them, etc. Any person can get the blues on any given time of the week. However, deep depression is so much worse in comparison to the blues and is not to be taken lightly.
6. Don't endure a depressive incident alone. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, tell a close friend, family member, pastor, and definitely your physician. To involve those people who love and encourage you through this ailment will considerably enhance and accelerate your recovery time. And please, make an unyielding commitment that if, at any time, you experience considerable thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself in any way, immediately call in professional help.
7. Be ready to fight depression on all fronts. After several years of my own study and personal battle with this issue, I recognize there can be many good reasons for a depressive episode. See your health care provider. But also consider a qualified therapist or a pastor or other clergyman who has expertise and the qualifications to deal with depression. In my honest opinion it can sometimes be primarily a medical/chemical issue, and many other occasions there are life experiences and psychological and mental concerns that should be discussed with a professional trained to handle this frustrating mental health concern.
8. Don't be shocked if a significant degree of anxiousness accompanies your depression. For me this was a vicious circle. I was depressed and didn't understand why, therefore my degree of anxiety began to skyrocket, and the more my anxiety increased, that provided me even more to become depressed about. Therefore, ultimately that was a cycle that I had to break through some wise professional counseling. Just recognize that you might be nervous during this time and that is not uncommon. Try not to worry about it any more than you are already worried, and continue to seek out your doctor and/or counselor's advice.
I wish you the best. You are going to succeed. You can make it through this thing and feel much better. Realize that there is certainly help available and, most of all, be sure you receive that help. You can overcome this! Blessings to all.
