Blues (or depression, melancholy) can occur from scratch. At least it seems so. Yesterday everything was bright and joyful, but today it is painted in dark tones. Why does this happen and how to get rid of the blues?
Actually, everything has a reason, so it's worth considering what caused the bad mood. If the reason is found - a quarrel with a friend, troubles at work, complexes about the appearance - try to correct the situation, do not sit idly by.
But often depression occurs due to chronic overwork, lack of sleep, constant anxiety for loved ones. Depression may also appear against the background of vitamin deficiency, physical ailments, or, for example, after a hard-borne flu.
An important point - you need to distinguish between apathy, blues and, in fact, depression, which is often an independent disease. Therefore, if there are no reasons to be depressed, but you see everything in a dark color, your soul is black and hard and all this continues for a long time, contact a specialist. It can be a psychologist or a psychotherapist, psychiatrist. He will help you develop a method for getting rid of depression.
If you feel that you are able to cope with this scourge yourself - act! Get a good night's sleep. And make it a habit to sleep at the same time, observe the sleep and wakefulness regime. Sleep is very important for strengthening and restoring a depleted nervous system.
If melancholy chokes, you don't want to do anything, but just lie and cry, overpower yourself. Take care of your household chores. Doesn't it work, tears just strive to pour? Go for a walk. Anywhere. But at a fast pace and longer. Breathe in fresh air, observe your surroundings, recite poetry to the beat of your steps.
Sing it. Express your emotions in singing. If you have a small child, there is a great opportunity to sing all the tunes you know as lullabies. In general, in this situation, it is important not to be silent. Call your acquaintances, talk to them, complain about melancholy-sadness. Make fun of her, the pesky villain, and over yourself. Try to treat this problem lightly, without being overly dramatic.
An extreme option is to shout out. Of course, at home this is inappropriate, do not frighten others. But you can go out of town, into the forest. And here there is enough to shout. And at the same time gain strength from nature.
