Instructions
Step 1
Think about when your painful condition began. You may have seasonal depression - many people suffer from it in November and May. Or some sad event happened in your life - dismissal from your favorite job, breakdown of relations with a loved one. Knowing the cause will make it easier for you to fight depression.
Step 2
When an objective reason that prevents you from living normally is found, eliminate it. Take a new job, start a non-binding romance.
Step 3
If your blues start for reasons you don't understand, try to treat it with general methods. Change the environment - fly on vacation to an exotic country or visit your grandmother in the village - the main thing is that you get new positive emotions.
Step 4
Eat bananas and citrus fruits. Bananas contain serotonin, the hormone of joy, and the orange color of oranges can lift your spirits. You can also hang orange curtains in the room, buy an orange blanket or an orange tea mug.
Step 5
If your figure allows, consume chocolate, it also contains the hormone of happiness. However, do not get too carried away with sweets, otherwise you will have another reason for depression.
Step 6
Find a hobby, preferably one related to physical activity. It can be dancing, aerobics, extreme sports. In general, if you have a blues, it is useful to move more and be outdoors - it cures depression. If you like cross-stitching, do not give up this hobby either. The main thing is that it brings you joy.
Step 7
Try to communicate more with nice people and visit interesting places. These can be exhibitions of topics that are close to you, museums, your favorite coffee shops. But it is better not to abuse alcohol in your condition.
Step 8
If the blues persist, you have insomnia, lack of appetite, fatigue and irritability, see your doctor. In this case, you can cure depression with antidepressants.
