How to overcome depression!

HOW TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION

There are times and phases in life when we actually feel very low. The world seems to be the most hopeless place. Nothing interests you anymore. the things which used to interest you are no more interesting, the food which used to bring water in mouth does not appear delicious any more. Hunger seems to desert you. Advice given by friends and family members does not even enter the ear lobes. Staying alone in a room or a deserted place is what you like the most in the world. Cribbing about the things you do not have in your life becomes your favorite pass time. Eyes become like leaking taps, life becomes like a rotten leaf, like a dream differed. Problems and issues over shadow happiness and thus life does not seem worth living.

Now the question is how do we come out of this most unpleasant phase of life.

People may take a few days. weeks or even years to come out of this phase . Following are a few tips that may help you curb depression:

1. Start dressing up nicely. Wear good clothes, if you are a girl do a little bit of make up and if you are a guy wear your favorite shirt or T-shirt (depends upon your dressing style). It works coz when people compliment you, you feel better.
2. Identify that world is not an ugly place to live in, in-fact its the most beautiful place. Problems and issues are a part of life which everyone goes through . A few reveal it to the world where as the others prefer staying in their shell. Also realize that if life was like a chocolate ice cream served with nuts and raisins life wouldnt be interesting. So, welcome your down and dumps and show the world that you have the guts to face it.
3. Try talking out. Pour out what you have in your heart and mind. Staying alone and keeping things to yourself, could never reach out to a solution.
4. Try finding happiness in things that you have. Look world from a different angle. Look at the people who actually have nothing to be happy about but are still smiling.
5. Go out for a walk. Take in fresh air. Admire the beauty. thank god for giving you this beautiful life, thank God for giving you what you have and ask him for the strength to overcome issues and problems in your life.
6. Even if you do not feel like eating, eat what you liked when you were not sad. Go to your favorite places.
7. Think about the things you always wanted to do but could not do due to paucity of time.
8. Early morning when you wake up to start a new day- plan your day, plan the things you have to do in the entire day , trust me you will realize that you have no time to be sad and that there is a lot more to do in this beautiful world.
9. Do something good for at-least two people in a day but remember that one of them must be you.
10. Spend time with your friends and family.
11. Have lots of sweets and chocolates, it works.

So, people when you feel that world is not just your kind of a place, right that very moment start thinking differently

P:S - Do not ignore it, as it works................
