Positive Side of Depression We Don't Think About

There is a positive side to depression although it may be hard to believe. Since we compare life to a journey, I would say depression is sitting down and resting on a sidewalk before moving again. If you feel that your journey had many obstacles like rainstorm, snowstorm, or any kind of storm, then you will need more resting time than others.

Depression, as I call it depression, adds another layer to your being. We are constantly moving or doing something, and it becomes impossible to stop and think what is going on your life. Most of us are unwilling to slow down ourselves. Usually something disastrous has to happen for us to stop what we are doing. Unfortunately, we are very much alarmed by this transient delay and are too eager for quick fix, whether it is medication, support group, or therapy. And, they are all fine except none works unless you decide to work on your issues.

You build a prison for yourself, and you are stuck. That is OK. Perhaps medication will help you get up in the morning. Perhaps you can have human connection you need from your support group. Perhaps you found someone you can trust with your therapist. Then, do what you have to do. Vegetate. Sleep more. Cry more. Feel nothing. Think about your childhood, your relationships, your family and friends. Think about your evil enemy, the one that got away, accidents and failures. Let the pain hurt you and hurt you and hurt you.

However, allow people in your life to express their appreciation for you. Let them call you and leave a voice mail. Let them email you to see how you are doing. Let them send you a card, a letter, an invitation even if they know you won't be there.

I am not a therapist, and I honestly do not know what to do if you are suicidal. You should ask for help from a clinician right away. It literally is a matter of life and death.

When you are able to stop your movement and sit, after a while, you can see a big picture. You notice a lot of things on the road, and you may even be able to read a sign. You are the same person but not the same as before. Second time you have to stop and pause, you will have a cool look in life. You won't be so obsessed, hyper, or indifferent. You will take life as it comes. Remember? Life is a journey, and you just had to sit down and take a break.

Hi, I am not a very serious person overall, but I take mental health seriously. Feeling sadness is perhaps not what we would like to experience, but we will all experience once or more, and sooner or later. Life makes that happen. There are many ways to deal with it, but panic is not one of them. Laughter is better than medicine. I have insane website filled with insane advice.
