Hey guys
Hope your all good, today I want
to talk to you all about depression. It is said that one in five people will be
depressed in their life time. The definition of depression online says it’s feelings of severe
despondency and dejection. For me it’s something that is hard to define because
everyone suffers and deals with it in different ways.
So for those of you who may have never suffered
depression you may be thinking that people who do suffer from it need to just
get over it. But it’s easier said than done, no one on this earth who has been
depressed wakes up one day and decides they are going to be depressed, it just
creeps up on you. For me my depression happened at time where university was stressful,
break down in family and partner relationship and weight gain. I would say that
this was my lowest point ever in life. I felt alone, suicidal and lacked major
confidence. To any of you who have ever felt like this I been there done that
and I know it just feels like you’re in the deepest hole ever and can’t get out.
It doesn’t help that in general I’m a worry wart and a stress head. Even now I
have glitches from time to time but it never lasts because I’ve found ways to
deal with it other than dosing myself up on anti-depressants which the doctor thought
would magically take my pain away.
Here are some of my top tips:
1. Treat yourself I
know times are hard and I’m not saying it has to be a Mercedes but if you have
the money then why not lol. But seriously even if it’s a perfume, an item of clothing
or even a bar of chocolate, get yourself a little treat to let yourself know
you are special.
2. Keep busy usually I know
it’s the worst when your down you don’t want to go anywhere or do anything but
that’s when you should push yourself more to do more sociable things like
hanging with friends or starting a new hobby trust me it works and really lifts
your mood and spirit.
3. I know this one sounds
a little weird but have a clean out day in your house thoroughly once a month.
Sometimes when you’re around stuff that you have been meaning to get rid of for
ages (I’m definitely someone who does this lol) it can depress your mood. For
me I just set a day usually the weekend because I’m busy working in the week.
I’ll usually clean my room from top to bottom get rid of old clothes and
genuine rubbish I have accumulated over the month.
4. Talk to someone I
know sometimes this is the last thing you want to do but trust me, it
definitely helps and allows you to unload all that stress and worry you have
been walking around with. Furthermore it helps you not to feel so alone at a time
when you’re at your lowest.
Lastly guys we only live once, so why waste it
feeling miserable. I just want to remind you all that we are all special and we
all deserve to be happy. Hope you liked this post and feel free to leave a
