Depression

[srfranci]

Depression: "A condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason."

A large part of experiencing depression is how much time we spend with our own thoughts, pondering on events and outcomes that may or may not have happened.

When in the process of doing this, we tend to go over the same sequence again and again. While doing so, every time we return to the beginning and begin the process again, we make the situation bigger and so on it goes.
Think - go back to the beginning - think again - and so our problem gets bigger and bigger until we're unable to cope with our own feelings.

What if we all tried to cut this process off? If we were able to say to ourselves 'right, Im not going to go over this situation yet again' what would happen?

My theory is, that actually we would find it much more easier to handle our feelings of depression because they wouldn't get out of hand with all the invested time we spent on them.

Depression can run your life and keep you stuck. The repetitive negative self-talk of fears and doubts will act to compromise your immunity system and make you ill.

Addressing these difficult issues head on is the best way to move forward with your life. Challenging your negative self-talk and replacing downbeat statements with positive affirmations unburdens the mind, freeing it up for creative and life enhancing reflections.

Did you know that 80% of our thoughts are negative? It’s no wonder that so many people suffer and struggle.
