KnowLedge as an Antidepressant.
Depression… It affects quite a bit of people. Depression can be due to many factors. The factor that was hurting me most was my thoughts. Most people know that negative thought patterns can cause or make depression worse. Negative thoughts are defeating. Most of the time the situation is not really as bad the individual perceives it be. It is easy to get stuck in these negative thought loops. and this you can miss out on opportunities that are right in front of you. So I wrote a quick poem about how getting stuck in a negative thought pattern works. At the end of it, I give my advice on how to change your thought pattern.
Premonition, patterns govern your Iife position
You move on auto pilot, no regards to intuition.
Stuck in a negative pattern, walking circLes, to nowhere
Living a Life of doubt and fear
Funny how patterns can bring you here
A faiLure, a bust, Living in a nightmare
Frustration, Iife continues to ware
You become a prisoner of your own psyche, fear
mediocrity, never Let yourself stay here
You wiII continue in cycles of insanity, unless you change your thought
A change in perspective, gives the life you aIIot.
How do you change thought?
You change thought through changing your perspective. I found that it heLped to evaluate my perspective on past events. (Being in a different state of mind can help sometimes too.) What I found is that I was mistaking my feelings for facts. I realized that if I continued to be negative, that it would create warped perspective of what opportunities were actually in front of me. This all came to me when I was on a trip. A vacation trip. Being in a different environment, or in a different state of mind can help break patterns. So if you are depressed, I challenge you to look at your perspective, and change it. Life has presented so many opportunities since my change in perception.
