Depressions are everywhere. In this contemporary world, most of us are prone to depression. A lot of us is silently suffering from depression because we don't want to bother and become a burden to other people. So how can we cope with depression by ourself?
STOP BEING RESENTFUL TOWARDS NEGATIVE FEELINGS/EMOTIONS
The more we resent our negative feelings, the more it will lead us to depression. So if we have any negative emotions, we need to acknowledge it. We must not avoid it. We need to learn how to accept what we feel.
Avoiding and resentment are a big no no. For they can explode like a volcano. It is better to acknowledge that it is there so we could think of a better way to heal.
Feeding ourself with hateful words creates nothing but a monster of depression that can eat us alive. Instead of hateful words, we need to learn how to be kinder, more loving, and more caring of ourself. If we learn how to feed ourself with positive and kind words, stubborn depression will walk away in no time. Monster depression loves hateful and negative words because it can contribute to his/her growth but he/she hates positive and kind words for it has a bigger impact on our growth.
WRITE IT ON YOUR JOURNAL
Having a journal is a must for it can save you from depression. By writing our feelings daily we have a greater chances to know ourself better. We easily acknowledge our thoughts and feelings for that day.
If you are already depress, the more reason you need to write especially if you are the type of person, like me, who doesn't want to share things to other people because you don't want to be a burden or you simply you don't want to bother others with your depression. Venting on paper is easier and safer to do. If you don't want other people to find and read it, you can burn it or if you are using your mobile or computer, you can simply delete it after writing. You will feel better after writing. Trust me. I tried it. 😉
LISTEN TO POSITIVE MUSIC, WATCH MOTIVATIONAL VIDEOS, AND READ INSPIRING STORIES
When we are depress we tend to listen to sad songs, scroll on facebook for hours, watch sad movies, etc. Do you think it is helpful? NO, it's not! So stop listening and watching emo songs and movies. Stop scrolling on facebook because seeing the happy post of your friends will get you jealous and you will start to wonder why they are happy and you are not.
Do the opposit instead. Listen to happy and motivational songs. Watch motivational and inspiring movies. Read inspiring and happy books or articles. It will make you feel better and happier.
STAY AWAY FROM YOUR ROOM AND HAVE AN ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
When we are depress we tend to sleep a lot. We lock our doors, close or curtains and we don't bother turning on the lights of our room. That kind of action makes monster depression happy. But when you tried to open your room windows, your curtains, your door, and allow light to be present in your room, the monster depression will become smaller. Especially if you turn on some music and dance.
You can also go for a walk and run. It helps me so much and I am sure that it will do the same to you. You will start to feel happy, good, energized, and accomplished. Try it.
START HANGING OUT WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE
Meet positive people that will help you grow. That will encourage you to do better with your life. You can meet them both offline and online. Based on my experienced there are many positive people online and I can easily find them in fb groups, forums, and here at Steemit.
Start sharing your hopes, dreams, and ideas and they will welcome you with open arms.
