In our "quick fix" society viewed depression as something that should be "cured" instantly, and that usually means the participation of antidepressant medications. When you go to the doctor, they are asked a series of questions that will determine whether or not you are depressed, and then before you know it gives you a recipe that is designed to help eliminate depression and bring you back to "normal life". Then, it is assumed that you are taking the drug for several months and depression disappear. But we all know that it does not work like that. You do not reason why you were put down in the first place, and when you stop "happy pills" very often depression comes back.
Well, what I say when I say that depression can be good? Well, here goes ...
Depression is a sign ... a sign that all is not well with you. But this is a good sign, because it then you stop and offers you the opportunity to look at what does not work. Depression is not an imbalance of brain chemicals, depression is a suppression of emotions and the most powerful emotions that must be addressed is anger.
Now, this does not mean to say that you should become a Raging Bull, no, it means that you react to life, to swallow your disappointment and it leads you to suppress the hope and vitality to the disappointment and anger. Depression, like living with a dark cloud of pressure on you and when you repress anger, and you suppress everything else. He takes his own life and becomes so large, so that no matter how hard you flail your arms, you just do not see the light in the darkness.
Through my own journey, many people told me about his depression, and restore them. The only thing that comes to light that their recovery has begun, when they began to realize that they are buried resentments and took steps to seize them by the balls and drag them to the surface. It does not come easily, but then, if it were easy, everyone would do it. No, it's a difficult path - the path less traveled - but this is the way to go home.
Some of us need extra help to get there, and I'm one of them. Trying to understand the inner workings of my heart by myself was impossible. I want to talk about it with people who understand anxiety and how it works. And I have their assurance that I'm not crazy, just depressed and through their leadership, I was able to find his ease again. I am ultimately grateful to those people, I discovered along the way who helped me find the right way.
Thus, instead of thinking that all was lost, but how about looking at your depression as a godsend? I do, every day. If I was not depressed, I would not have went down the rehabilitation of roads and I would be stuck in the life of the drum rumble. Look, as a turning point, the signal to change, start a new life full of possibilities you never knew were there. If you asked me what I should do now? I would say give up - do not attempt to deal with stress, because it's like trying to claw its way out of quicksand, you just go one step further. Instead, just accept you're depressed, take your bed with a soothing drink and tell the world to go to buy cheap valium. Acceptance will you offer a new hope and a starting point for a full recovery.
