Life can sometimes get on top of you and make you feel as if you have no hope and as a result you can start to feel depressed and powerless. But you may be feeling depressed but you are not powerless.If you want to begin to feel better then first you need to just put your worries aside for a second.I know it's easier said than done but just trust me on this one.Get a pen and paper and write down the things that you have in your life to be grateful for. Even if it's as simple as running water, clothes on your back, a roof over your head, eyes to be able to read this etc, etc. Keep writing until you can't think of anything else that you have to be grateful for. Have a think about this and think about how lucky you are to have these things.
Now take a fresh sheet of paper and write down all the things that you appreciate about yourself. What's great about you? Are you a good friend? A great listener? Maybe you're really good at drawing or a great cook? Be honest because if you look hard enough there is something amazing about all of us. Again keep writing until you can't think of anymore or your arm hurts through writing whichever comes first.
Exercise also has physical benefits as well such as a healthy heart, bones, and blood flow. For individuals who don't have the desire to utilize physical activity as a coping mechanism, may find it beneficial to use something such as dance to incorporate this into their treatment. Psychotherapy can be a great help for treating depression, studies show that 50% of people diagnosed with mild to moderate depression achieve symptom relief through psychotherapy. Self-help books on depression are essential to learning how to battle depression effectively. As there are many different diagnoses types for this condition, manic being the most severe form.In my personal experience as a creative writer and someone who uses writing is an emotional outlet, when I don't write for long periods of time my mental health is affected. Exercise has always been a major part of my life, and when I veered away from it I could feel the effect it had on my stress level and mood. Exercise has been proven to be one of the most fast acting anti-depressant treatments because of the immediate response our bodies has to it. There is no one size fits all treatment for this condition, everyone has different needs and their own unique response to treatments. However patients suffering with this mental health disorder have to all start with one thing, and that is acknowledging that you have a problem and you need help.
Norma was extremely fatigued. Frequently, when she came home from work, she would lie down and take a nap.She also had indigestion. It was so bad that she couldn't sleep the night through no matter how tired she was. It would keep her awake for hours every night. It's no wonder she was so tired all the time. On top of that, she was bothered by constant sinus drainage and twitching of her eyelids. Her right eye wouldn't remain open completely.
That's not all. Norma also had joint problems too. She could not stand up from a squatting position without help.So, to say she had some health challenges is putting it mildly.Norma was tested for food and chemical sensitivities. Seven months later, after avoiding her sensitive foods and following a rotation diet, all her symptoms were gone... as long as she continued to avoid her sensitive foods. She was glowing. The before and after difference in how she looked is very dramatic.
Be sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water. It's best to drink throughout the day, perhaps sipping on a 32 ounce cup of water all morning, then refilling it at lunch and drinking the rest over the course of your afternoon.You might find that you need to make more trips to the bathroom, but that's a sign of proper hydration. It means your body is letting go of retained fluid and flushing itself clean.Get Energized.Snacking is an important way to keep your energy level high. Look for snacks that pack a lot of nutrition into a handful of calories.Almonds are an excellent choice because they contain protein, healthy fat, and healthy carbs. Low-fat cheese or yogurt is another good choice. Raw fruits and vegetables give you plenty of vitamins and minerals for a low calorie cost.
It doesn't matter if the foods to which you are sensitive are "healthy" foods. They're not healthy for you. You can be sensitive to any food. For example, some of my sensitive foods are salmon, trout, grapefruit, kiwi, papaya, pineapple, red leaf and romaine lettuce, potatoes, gluten, whey and more.
The most frustrating part of food sensitivities is that most people don't know they have them because the reaction to the food occurs anywhere from three hours to three days after eating it. The symptoms they cause can be almost anything. The most common are digestive problems, headaches, migraines, joint pain and stiffness, arthritis, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, ADD/ADHD and more.
Be with happy people. Their positive energy is quite infectious. At the end of a weary day, instead of reading or watching depressing news or serious movies, turn to children's comics, cartoons or comedies. And laugh out loud.Before going to sleep,make two lists for the next day - one for the things you have to do, and one for the things you keep postponing. Keep the second one very short - just 2 or 3 items. The next day, even if you cannot tick off every item on the first list, make sure you do the second one. And see for yourself how better it makes you feel!
