Depression
I have spent my entire life as a depressed person. I am currently going through the stages of being on my way to recovery, in which process, I plan to become who I want to be in this lifetime
I have never been happy. This is why I started trying things that got me better and getting healthier for two years. Yet after spending two years on it, I began to resent myself, and realized that I had many fears and flaws in myself. I came out of wanting to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, but it became too hard. At work, I struggled to handle some problems, so I was unable to do those things I used to do. As a result, I felt hopeless and lost myself. My ability to perform at peak level was severely reduced. And with that comes depression. So what is depression? Is it just feeling down and unhappy? Or are we all struggling internally sometimes. How can we get the strength and wisdom needed to overcome life's challenges and gain control over our lives? These questions have led me to research depression, the causes, the recovery, and how to overcome it, and what you can do to help yourself move forward.
I'm not talking about all the stuff that goes on with mental health today, but instead learning about it from your childhood. For example, depression might have a great deal of influence on the development of children. If a child develops low self-esteem and anxiety related to their school or parent issues, there is a higher possibility they will have problems developing relationships with others. Likewise, teenagers who are depressed might turn into bullies if they're not supported. And children who become depressed when they lose their parents might need more support and care than teens without it.
However, I know that depression is also common in some people and not everyone, though some of us face it differently and in different ways. You may have depression if you find yourself experiencing sadness, feelings of loss, or other moods at times. It can be very stressful and painful to talk about a friend's dad who has died or a sister who's cancer and does not know how to help him or her. In fact, it's often the case that you get depression because you are losing someone who loves you or supports you. Maybe you have become depressed through grief when you lose a loved one, such as a parent, or an aunt. Your family member, or a close friend, may be dealing with a lot of trauma and depression. A good relationship with others would make you feel less depressed.
In general, there are really important points that I would like to share. First of all, for anyone to get well from depression, they need to understand the underlying cause to begin with. I always say that one of the best things a therapist told me was that "it's a lie" on the website I used, where there are so many testimonials from people who have gone through treatment from therapy and other types of therapy. The first step to getting better at something is taking action. To start taking actions, try to take a break from everything you're doing or reading about depression and anything you find interesting like finding new hobbies, exercise, and/or medication.
Second, people who are suffering from depression should do whatever they can to heal themselves. They should go outside, go to a quiet place to sit by themselves when they're feeling sad. Taking walks outdoors is great because it allows you to be with nature or even just talking to a nice breeze going by. Also I suggest looking deeper into yoga, meditation, music, and any similar practice to feel better. Some things I'd recommend: Yoga, Meditation, Music, Exercise
Third, it's very important that you ask other friends about symptoms and try to understand them. People might think you have what it takes to get there, but it's definitely not as easy as they're making it appear. Ask your friends about any of the following:
Doing the same thing every day – Do Not Stop
Doing this too much all the time, especially if it's too difficult
Worrying about it/not knowing how to deal with it
Feeling guilty or embarrassed when you do the activity
Wasting energy.
These are just a list of things other people might be seeing, but I would like to encourage you to go try these things too. Doing something is a great way to keep moving forward in life, and it helps to set yourself up for success when you decide to give it a shot.
Now let's jump back to eating healthy. Eating healthy means doing plenty of fruits and veggies, avoiding processed foods and sugar, limiting hours after dinner and consuming enough protein. You don't necessarily have to cut calories entirely off, but cutting them out would help. You might eat a healthy amount of vegetables, and some grains, and some whole grains, but the main focus should be on reducing calories when you do. It also helps to limit the number of salt, salts, and sugars you drink each day, which is quite the task. Instead of focusing on cutting down on juice, you should really emphasize the importance of choosing fruit juices the least amount each day. Avoid sugar alcohol, refined grains, packaged baked goods, and refined oils. Try to reduce stress, and reduce your risk factors.
