Tips on how to fight Depression

In this article I write about my personal experiences with depression and about how I have learnt to contend and to even eradicate it. I hope you enjoy reading the post.

I have recently spoken to my parents regarding the main topic of my own depression. My mom has said that she thinks we have some kind of depression gene because so many of our family suffer from similar symptoms.

I've as recently as last week endured having a serious bout of the depression, yet from it I learnt a valuable lesson. I had been having a negative period in my own life where apparently everything was going wrong. It was one kick in the teeth after each other. I had nothing to enjoy and determined that I needed a night out with my buddies. There was one aim that I had in mind which was to get as drunk as possible.

The following day I felt extremely ill and hungover after having a very late night so that as planned a huge quantity of booze. For the whole day I struggled to stay awake and as the day wore on I became more and more despondent. The negative side of my brain had taken over my whole head also it seemed like there was a whole bunch of negative chemicals running through my body.

The lesson I have learnt is that isn't a great thought to go out drinking alcohol if you are feeling low and despondent.

They asked me to think about all of the matters and areas of my own life that were getting me down. What I subsequently needed to do was to talk about them also to think favorable by attempting to find alternatives to each of these issues.

This is not at all simple to do but is something I now attempt. I have realised that it is great to share our anxieties and phobias and that there is nothing wrong with admitting that you're depressed and stressed.

I hope I'll not have to live with one of these routine bouts of depression for the remainder of my entire life as I have to say I despise it, especially when it means I can't get any sleep during a night, which occurs fairly consistently for me personally. I shall yet look for further methods of defeating my depression when it will occur.

I now try to think positive in all situations, life is way too brief to be always worrying about everything. I have started to read a lot of self-help publications, these have taught me quite a whole lot of new things and have given me many new thoughts.
