HOW TO HANDLE DEPRESSION

Hello peeps, hope we all had a swell day? Today my write-up would be based on an area I’ve been itching to talk about for a long time now but never had the chance to and that is having to deal with our day to day worries which causes a break down in our health and that is DEPRESSION. Yes I said depression, don’t worry this post isn’t going to be something boring but I would make it enjoyable for your viewing, hence you can make apply them and make the best out of yourself, now let’s get down to business!

The top most on my list is learning the act of encouragement; we all need to learn how to encourage ourselves though not an easy task but it is needed; it doesn’t matter whether you’re the one going through a rough time or a friend, relative or even your enemy, they all need someone to lean on in times of difficulties.  Most people who often experience depression get suicidal and that’s because they lack love, care and support from people around, no matter how seemingly stupid their ideas maybe they still want to be heard and appreciated regardless.  The society we live in today is one where people are being judged and relegated which should not be. So if you happen to have someone going through bad times try to be with them  as much as possible so that they don’t end up doing things that they might end up regret.

Another thing I would love to point out is to try to take things off your chest. When you allow issues take the best part of you it affects your health, mind body and soul. Yeah I know a lot is going on around us as people, from society to family, finances, you name it, the list is ever endless but we need to take a deep breath and calm down in addressing our issues. Remember the catchphrase that says ‘’whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’’, so try to be strong and conquer your fears and worries.

Relaxation and social activities is another thing that I believe is crucial in dealing with depression, how?  You might want to ask me, do you know that when your mind is free and you let go of issues disturbing your peace you tend to feel relaxed and less pressured, this can be achieved if you have a therapist around you or someone you know you can really trust that can be of help.  Meditation, yoga and exercises can also help to reduce stress and severe depression from occurring. In addition to that, being in a sociable environment with people of like minds by engaging in fun stuffs like games, attending social gatherings,etc is beneficial for ones' health and would create a happy place.

Above all, it is possible to apply all these and still not be in a happy place if you don't have God in your life. The Bible says cast all your burdens upon HIM. Hence when you bare it all to the throne of Grace you're assured of total freedom and eternal peace.So with this very few tips I wish you a journey into a stress-free and healthy life. till i see you in my next post, do enjoy this lovely piece.
