I'll be sharing you "five things you can do to overcome depression".
Let's get started by understanding the meaning of "DEPRESSION" before highlighting "Five things to do while in depression"
Depression simply mean a mood disorder that makes you feel constant sadness or lack of interest in life. Most people feel sad or depressed at times. It's a normal reaction to loss or life's challenges.
Depression results from a complex interaction of social, psychological and biological factors. People who have gone through adverse life events (unemployment, death tolls, incurable condition, bereavement, traumatic events) are more likely to develop depression. Depression can in turn lead to more stress and dysfunction and worsen the affected person’s life situation and the depression itself.
According to World Health Organization, Depression is a common illness worldwide, with an estimated 3.8% of the population affected, including 5.0% among adults and 5.7% among adults older than 60 years (1). Approximately 280 million people in the world have depression.
Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when recurrent and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family.
At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Over 700, 000 people die due to suicide every year. Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death in 15-29-year-olds.
Without further Ado...
Let's deep dive into "five things to do to overcome depression"
1. Visualize A Happy Memory
When the depressed continually revisits a painful memory such as (romantic rejection, failed business enterprise, bereavement, traumatic events). it can tip him or her into near emotional disorder and catatonia.
"Wait before you 'go down to rabbit warren' and all the dark and traumatic events overwhelm you, close your eyes and go to a happy memory"
*Alice remembered, "When I gained admission to study in university, See how you feel so proud to be part of a great citadel of learning (buying new clothes, shoes, books, new environment, new friends, lecturing session, new grammar...etc) and the day you signed out and your graduation day. The partying, pictures session, convocation speech & ceremony... lot more
"Great, go there. Let's relive that amazing experience". She actually smiled. I suggested, "The moment you feel yourself and sliding back to an awful memory that takes you down, take a breath and keep positive and flashing back to lovely memories you've had in the past before occurrence with an immediate dose of positivity. This will change your attention to fantastic experiences and gives you encouragement.
2. Don't Dwell on Problems
It maybe right to talk through a problem with a caring friend or someone you think you can motivate you with words of encouragement and be a part of your current situation to find possible solutions to it. Depression can lead people to complain, blame, it can keep you focused on what's wrong.
It can feel good to talk through a problem with a caring friend. But depression can lead people to complain, blame, It can keep you focused on what's wrong.
It's OK to air your thoughts and feelings with people who cares. But don't let problems be all you talk about, Talk about good things too. This can help your mood become more positive.
3. Healthy Foods and Exercise
Take a 15- to 30-minute brisk walk every day. Or you can dance, stretch. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. But get yourself to do it anyway. If you need a push, ask a friend to do it with you. Getting any activity started helps boost your mood. Keep it going.
Healthy Foods really helps people with depression but don't feel much like eating or overeat. What you eat can affect your mood and energy. So with depression, you need to be sure to eat right. For most people, that means plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Limit simple carbs and foods with added sugar. Don't go for too long without eating. Even if you don't feel hungry, eat something light and healthy.
4. Make Plans
Research has shown that most depressed people preferred to be in bed, under the covers with the shades drawn. Raising the phone to hear a friendly voice, having plans outside the bare minimum (work, school, grocery store) feels too difficult but the internet has made it dangerously seductive to keep to oneself. Studies show that being active on social media to approximately 40 minutes or 0ne hour in a day decreases depression. It's important you shower, get dressed, take a walk, go to viewing centres, visiting botanical gardens, Participating in motivational programs socialize. The more you ventured into outdoor activities keeps your mood lifted
5. Find Something to Look Forward to
This is a technique I've practically use.
When I'm down I search for something to put on calendar that makes me happy and keep me motivated and excited (Creative activities, YouTube Videos, Live shows, Seminar, Conference, Passionate career). Studies show that people get an emotional lift when they contemplate a future fun events and looking back on a fabulous activities from the past. Attend passion and fun related programmes, whatever brings you happiness and spark joy to your humble self. My enormous turnarounds arise when I begin a Creative Projects that can potentially create some networks and lead to fulfilling connections.
For instance, I've volunteered as a mentor to underserved young men & women who want Creative Projects to sought Contracts from ministry, taught workshops, business plan and proposal, digital marketing support.
To be precise: Stop telling yourself nothing good will ever happen again, Be positive about everything and you gonna get up and keep your world going...
