Self-treatment of depression

Because the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and accompanied by various factors such as work pressure, many people suffer from mild depression. They are unwilling to communicate with others and prefer to be alone. This situation is not good and must not be allowed to spread. It is best to learn some self-treatment for depression so that it does not become a very serious condition before being discovered.

The prerequisite for self-treatment of depression is that one must have this awareness. If one loses even this awareness, it means that the situation is not optimistic. Self-treatment for depression is relatively easy, but the effects are very good.

1. Insist on exercising, especially in the morning. Many patients with depression are slow, sloppy, and lazy. This condition will not only seriously damage the body's functions in the long run, but also aggravate the negative emotions of patients with depression. As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning. The morning air can be said to be the freshest time of the day. It can fully mobilize the human body's potential and activate body cells. When the body is relaxed, the mind will slowly relax as well, and the mood will naturally be relieved to a certain extent.

2. When socializing outside, patients with depression often show negative symptoms such as low mood, low self-esteem, feeling inferior to others, and not being able to do anything well. These feelings lead to their lack of interest, retreat, reduced social activities, and isolation. This puts people with depression in a vicious cycle and constantly strengthens their own symptoms. The prerequisite for changing this vicious cycle is to force yourself to go out, interact with more friends, participate in social activities or go out for travel. Although it will be painful at the beginning, as long as you persist for a period of time, the negative emotions will slowly be dissolved by the external environment, and your self-confidence will be rekindled.

3. Meditation. Meditation is a very good behavior of body, mind and spirit cultivation. It has been widely used in psychotherapy and spiritual growth activities. Meditation can reduce tension, anxiety, depression and other emotions. Regular practice of meditation will enhance consciousness and help patients with depression gain enlightenment.

4. Organize your feelings. People with depression are more often immersed in their negative feelings. Although they sometimes think that their thoughts or emotions are irrational at the cognitive level, they are still unable to get rid of them. One way to truly change this cognition is to organize your feelings in a special notebook. No matter how absurd or ridiculous you think it is, all you have to do is to organize it completely in the notebook. Don't rush to analyze it or understand it. You can look at it after exercise or after your physical and mental state has eased. You must know that you don't need to analyze it just by looking at it, because this is not to exercise your ability to analyze and understand, and you don't lack this ability, and you will definitely have different feelings.

The above introduces to you about self-treatment of depression. I hope you can learn some knowledge here, which is also a kind of protection for yourself. Under the current pressure of life, it is very common to have some depression, so you must learn to treat depression. This is the best way to protect yourself and find your true self.
