When we say depression, we’re not using the word in the clinical sense. We’re talking about the depression people refer to when they sigh and say, “I’m depressed”. It’s also known as feeling blue, gloomy, glum, disheartened, melancholy, forlorn and in the pits. It’s the “downs” of the usual cycle of ups and downs.
Depression is often caused by a sense of not having accomplished enough. We question the usefulness of what we’ve achieved in the past, and doubt our ability to achieve anything useful in the future. Self-doubt robs us of our energy that lead us to feel depressed.
We look at all we want to do. It seems overwhelming. We tell ourselves, “I can’t do all this,” and instantly fulfill our own prophecy by not even trying. The energy drops even more, and the depression deepens. We were the one sometimes who underestimated ourselves instead of thinking positive and encourage ourselves to just try it.
“If you feel depressed, just relaxed yourself”. Think of the things that could make you enjoy and forget the problems or the things that make you depressed.
