Understanding Your Depression

By Chris Silva


You will very likely have difficulty thinking when you are under the influence of depression. When it is severe, some people even complain of poor concentration, if they are able to think that far at all. The worst part is when you begin to have problems with your memory. But the solution to depression, most of the time, is not to allow negative things to grow or even take root in your mind.

A depressed person might interpret a small thing as a big issue. The problem is that they might not be interested in hearing anything you have to say, and if you insist, they could take it out on you. Depression is not anything that anyone should take that lightly at all. If you are the person always suffering from depression, seek help immediately. And if you are a victim of depression, don't get even, instead try to help the person. Yes, they do need help, I tell you.

People with depression see little things that you and I take for granted as signs of incompetence. Oftentimes they interpret minor criticism from anyone as some kind of condemnation, and then they could begin to berate themselves. It's important to watch what you say when you are around someone that's always feeling depressed. Instead of telling them little things that will make them depressed, tell them positive things about themselves and other such words that will uplift them. It certainly works much better.

A depressed person could sometimes have trouble looking themselves in the mirror. To them the mirror appears to reflect ugliness and repulsion. Scratch the surface and you could find that they are perhaps kicking themselves for some trivial thing that they would have passed up.

A sufferer from depression often sees themselves as being phony or guilty of having deceived others in one way or another. However, a conversation could reveal that no such thing has happened. That's when their mind begins to play tricks on them. Yes, it's all always the mind playing games with us. If this happens to you, fight it. Don't allow your mind to take you over, instead take it over and dictate the pace.
