I suffered from server depression over issues I'd rather not talk about but needless to say, I have been through a suprising amout, and I thank God for every bit of it because it means I can properly empathise with people, using my stories as testiment... It took me many many years to even think about getting over it. From when I was young I was quite depressed and as I got older, things got worse.
Two years ago I tried to commit suicide, pills and alcohol, cutting myself. What is amazing is that I am still alive today and this reasures me that God has a purpose for me. And it also means I am able to provide support and just another testimony like in boards such as this.
I went through many psychiatrists, I refused to take anti-depressants and, more than anything, I wollowed in it.
I won't deny, I am still not totally fine now but there are a few things that help. These techniques work for me and might not for other people but I will share them anyway...
A big part of depression comes from perspevtive. If you get up in the morning, wishing you never woke up, then it's likely that things through the day will affect you a lot. I find that if you get up, put some rock or mettle music on, basically anything that puts you in a good mood or even slightly wound up. Take a shower, have a cup of coffe, chill out. Start the day on a good note and you've won half the battle.
Public opinion can affect a person a lot so rather than spending half an hour every morning doing your hair or stressing over what people might think of what you are wearing, just leave it go. Don't worry about what other people think about you, dress in what makes you comfertable, wear your hair in however you like it despite comments from others. At the end of the day, there is only one or two people who you should care about opinion, and that's God and our Lord Christ, if you're doing something they don't like, then stop, lol. But when it comes down to clothes and stuff, try not to worrie about what other people think.
Remember, your body is his temple, so treat it with respect, so if you're thinking about doing anything... silly... don't! Lol.
But seriously, it's amazing what some good music in the morning combined with ignoring peoples insults can do...
And finally, it usually helps to talk to someone and if it's a matter of you haven't got anyone to talk to, or you are uncomfertable about talking to friends, then there is an entire website here of people who would be willing to help and while I might not be able to vouch for them, I can cirtainly vouch for myself, so feel free to message me...
Catch ya later. Take care. God bless.
