What truly matters is the here and now. Don’t chain yourself to the past or worry too much about the future. Let the sun warm up your day and enjoy the moment.
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, and it’s also the most common cause for missing work. It’s a tough problem that can make you pessimistic, among many other things. On top of that, there are a lot of things your depression doesn’t want you to know, and it tries to sink you farther and farther in so you can’t see them.
Antidepressants are the largest category of medication sold worldwide. According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) the number of people using them is somewhere between 10-15%.
Why is this happening? Is our increasingly complicated lifestyle making us more vulnerable? The truth is that there’s no clear reason “why.” All we know is that, just like no two people are the same, there are no identical cases of depression.
That’s what makes it so hard to establish strategies that can help anyone with depression. Still, there are some simple facts that can be worth remembering on your lowest days. Today, we want you to learn what they are, and what exactly it is that your depression doesn’t want you to know.
You might like:
You might start to see yourself as someone who doesn’t deserve certain things. Or, even worse, you might think you don’t “have what it takes” to get them.
A lack of self-esteem creates internal imbalances and conflicts that will take their toll on you over the course of your life.
People often say that the most dangerous form of depression is the one that comes from within. In those cases, there’s no specific cause that triggers your disorder. The problem is within you, and could have been growing since your childhood.
If your family situation has always been difficult, your relationship with your parents has never been positive, or you never matured emotionally, you might have self-esteem issues.
You harbor an inexplicable sadness day in and day out, lacking motivation and feeding the discouragement that leads to depression.
Pay attention to your self-esteem! Make sure you’re the star in the movie of your life and not a supporting actor!
If you approach every day in a more rational way, shutting out negative thoughts and holding on to your dreams, your depression will eventually let go. It will start to fade away until it’s just a distant shadow.
What good does it do to focus on something from a month or a year ago, when all it does is cause you pain? It’s not worth it. But don’t start thinking about your future in a fatalistic way, either. Remember that you don’t have a crystal ball – there’s no telling what might happen.
Allow yourself to live in the here and now with passion and the happiness that you deserve. That’s the only thing worth your efforts.
There are still people out there who believe that even if you have a diagnosed depression disorder, it’s because you’re a weak person “who’s always sad.”
Be careful. Seek help from a professional and lean on family members and friends who really know how to listen to you, comfort you, and have the right words at the right times.
But don’t let it trick you – get outside and walk every day for at least half an hour. Take in the fresh air, let the sun kiss you with its warmth and talk to the people you meet. Surround yourself with life, movement, light, and joy – every day.
