Depression, A State
Posted in Depression by depressiondoctor on May 11th, 2007
Depression is generally boxed out a feeling of blue and mostly it is being told by different people as to what it is and what are the different signs and symptoms from which others can detect that the individual is going through depression, but I say that depression is a state of mind and it has a lot to do with the mood swings that we go through every single day.
Have you ever thought that in a day’s time, how many times are there where you go through different mood swings and how many times did you fall in the feelings of depression, have you ever seen that, calculated that on your fingers, I think there might be some people who very closely observe the different changes that they go through in their moods and they are able to ascertain as to how many times they are going through the different feelings.
Depression is just like a cloak, which we wear when it comes on. It can be triggered by anything, anything that we can think of. For example a child can get depressed if he or she did not get the toy that they wanted for their birthday. An employee in a company can get depressed when they were not able to get the pay raise on the due time as outlined by the company. A mother can get depressed when her children are not listening to her and are making a mess of things at home. So there are so many different people in so many different situations who are going through the feelings of depression, which is a state or a cloak that just comes over us and we wear it.
It is natural to get depressed on different things, we should not take it as an ailment, but a natural response of our body. What we need to understand that being in depression can be something that is going to be harmful for our bodies. For example as know in general that anything in excess is going to bring a negative aspect along with it, such as if you are going to eat too much, you will start to gain weight, and there will be hormonal changes that will be brought upon and therefore this needs to be corrected by eating less and exercise.
The same is the case with depression, if you are going to feed your depression then it will grow and will reach the excess point, which is certainly not reasonable. The thing that you need to see is that as you can fix your eating habits, in the same way you can fix your depression. Try to remove the source that is causing depression. See and open your eyes, come out of it and look for yourself how much is out there for you and it is not the time to nurture depression but to get rid of it and learn as to what are the different ways that you can take care of it without having the need ever to take medicines to fix it.
Just remember that we have in our mind and soul the power to eliminate depression, it is when we not explore it, we stay in it, and need the help of the medicines, I am not saying that you should not take medicine, if you feel you need to take the medicines, you must take them, but I am just making you aware that there are ways that you can get out of depression on your own in a positive way by using the strength and power of your mind and soul. I go through mood swings as well and I try to put myself back on track, sometimes it takes me less time and sometimes it takes me more, but I am able to get myself back on track. I think if I can do it, so can you.
