The state of depression visited absolutely every person on Earth, because any of us experienced moments of rise and fall. The only difference is in how a person copes with the attacked depression. You can use this difficult time productively, and our tips will tell you how.
Instructions
Step 1
For a start, try to be alone for a while. But in no case should you lie in solitude in a dark room, completely covered with a blanket. Spend this time reflecting on your situation. Ask yourself the questions "Why am I in this state?", "What led to this state?", "Where did I not take into account important points?" and "What can I do to get out of this state?" Use a pen and notebook to document all your thoughts.
Step 2
Most likely, you will come up with questions regarding your occupation, self-realization and the realization of your desires. Everything you want is not fully reflected in reality, and it makes you sad. Try to get rid of the abstract "everything is bad" from your head, because it does not happen. Write down the activities that you want to do and those that you do not want to do. Work through each of the options, describing what you need in order to bring this or that point to life.
Step 3
Mental activity, as a rule, puts everything in its place again and gradually brings you out of depression. Therefore, continue to analyze your desires for a while and what you need to realize them. Write down all the goals that you have not achieved, and also evaluate what you are doing now. Maybe you feel bad because you are not at all where you would like?
Step 4
When you are able to logically express all your thoughts on paper, without forgetting a single important element, you will feel that it has become easier for you. Now you are not subject to incomprehensible feelings of fear, apathy, weakness, powerlessness and sadness. You clearly understand and realize why your mood is depressed, and this is the first step in getting out of depression.
Step 5
As you contemplate your life, remember to breathe fresh air and move. Take a notebook and a pen with you, go to the nearest park, where it is calm and green. It is useful to look at the water, trees and the life that is happening around, that's when the right thoughts and decisions come to mind.
Step 6
Do not drink alcohol, eat heavy food, watch depressing broadcasts, or listen to heavy music. In a word, do not do anything that can, in one way or another, aggravate your situation. Choose outdoor walks, vegetarian food, and movies, music, and books that will inspire you and help you find the answers you need.
Step 7
If at the first stage it is necessary to retire in order to understand yourself, then communication with people is very important further. If you have a few faithful and close friends, then meet them for a short time. It’s important not so much to share your thoughts and ask for advice, but to share positive energy with the person you care about. And this energy heals.
Step 8
It is important to feel life around you again in order to find the strength to start living and acting on your own. A positive atmosphere around, kind and open people, a hobby, keeping a diary and mastering something new will help you with this. Each time, listen to yourself and do what will benefit you as a result, and then depression will gradually leave you and give way to new bright days filled with movement and joy.
