Depression Awareness

Depression can take on many forms. Here I would like to share some of my experiences with it from a long time ago. I do not consider myself as depressed now really, there are other things I deal with though, but yeah, depression to me is a state where you can not manage to cry or laugh, where feeling happy is something the mind of some reason thinks is not possible. It can come sneaking into you over time, and it is all from going for a long time having negative thoughts, or also it could be several other things, like loss of someone you care about, or a relationship of any kind. It could come from severe trauma too, but then there are other factors also to consider. Well, depression to me was an experience of a close to total lack of motivation, a state where you just wished to escape your mind but couldn't, where existing in a moment seemed impossible, yet you couldn't escape it. I could write a lot about the feelings, but for now that is enough.

The Solution For Me

My solution to get out of depression back then, after two years of being in the above mentioned situation, was to start believing that as a matter of logic; I was human, and humans are capable of feeling happy, it was illogical that I shouldn't also be. It took a few months where I held this belief firmly, repeated it to myself, worked with myself by listening to Anthony Robins tapes and other things, and then one day I was in the shower and suddenly it felt nice to shower. I ended up showering 4 times a day for a while, and that was the start for me on the path to get out of it.

Notes On Medicines

I was given a lot of different medicines which I feel did more harm than good, awareness of this might be a good thing, some medicines promise relief while not really being a good solution at all. Maybe I could write more here later. Depression is tough, if you are a sufferer of such, I know.

For God's sake, realize that a lot of psychopharmaca has potential "end-of-the-world" consequences, so you really need to consider the effect on people and their ability to both trust and treat each other in proper ways.

The Impact Of Energies

The impact of negative versus positive energies in this time is an important factor to be aware of, as we see horrors happening but also good things. Negative influences in each of our paths can color our perception of hope versus fear, particularly if we have bad memories of trauma, and it is not to deduct from the emotional state or the hopelessness in areas where wars occur and lives are lost, a tremendous suffering is experienced, it is that state of one's ability to work which is colored by factors of influences in areas more peaceful. The work done in a more peaceful state can also contribute to bring more peace to the areas of war and horrors in the long run, it is important to see this.
