How to cope with depression in 3 steps

 

Do you feel unwilling whatever you do?

You’re not interesting in anything around you. Just going to work and then coming back home – tired and hopeless. You don’t know what’s trendy this season, you don’t even know if you have some accessories in the wardrobe.

 

Are you bored or maybe you prefer to stay alone at home instead of to go out with friends?

You have no energy, you have lost your healthy tonus. Sometimes you’re wondering “Am I already old?”. After that you’re sitting down, eating something that you even don’t like…

How often you’re watching TV while your friends are in the cinema?

Yes – this is an easy way to lie to yourself that you’re doing something. There’re too many things to do which are waiting for you.

And the answer is ‘No, you aren’t too old, neither you’re a boring person.”

The only reason to behave like this, is that you have been depressed.

Depression catches people who:

  • are responsible
  • take care for the others
  • always do what they have to

In fact you’re a good person and this is the main reason depression happened to you. You get stressed, bad-tempered and sometimes even angry.

Luckily there are easy ways to handle with this.

First you must go to the library and get a book. Reading helps to relax your mind. Go to the library and point some book with interesting title for you. You’ll see how thinking about what  book to buy will make you feel better. Instead watching TV – just read. It helps improve your sleep, too.

 

The second step to get out from depression is the famous “shopping therapy”. But here is the catch. You must go shopping alone. You don’t need anybody else. You’ll have enough time to look at these shops which you’re fond of. Put on something you have never done before. Try what you want and enjoy the time spend with yourself. This step helps you find yourself and more importantly – to like yourself.

The third rule is to dance like no one’s watching you. Of course you have to do this alone at home. Dancing helps the body to produce endorphins, also called hormone of happiness. Moving your body will increase positive energy and makes you willing to life. We all need to move, that’s why sport helps us to have healthier life. But dancing is magical, because you calm down while listening to the music and moving your body the way you like!
