OVERCOMING DEPRESSION. part 2
In similar ways, it is possible to hang on to our fit of depression long after they should have ceased to trouble us .
Perhaps ,for example , we are saying :i have this horrible depression because am not well, splendid! We have every reason to be thankful when we are not well we can do something about getting better.
Obviously, our doctor is the person to help us .
But we most help,too, and not only by taking his medicine and following his instructions.Most of all,we have to expect to get better. Some of us refuse to part with our fit of depression ,which are , after all, only one symptom.We may not realize that we are doing it ,but we do it just for the same' perhaps because we have discovered that they are bringing us special sympathy and consideration which we are lot to lose.
Sometimes, we face it , our depression gives us a feeling of importance . People notice us more . 'Are you are feeling less depress today ?' a neighbor may ask .'I am sorry to hear you are so depressed. Do you care for yourself ,' friend will say .
What if we reply ; 'Thank you very much better now . Actually," I feel fine"? The next time we met we would be taken for granted . People might not bother to ask how we were .
setbacks like bereavement, people letting us down and losing a job , are hard to take , but as far as coping with depression is concerned they are a blessing in disguise 'We know why we are depressed
But let us honest and face up to it , we can hang on to a bereavement long after we should because it attracts notice and sympathy . Many a broken heart has remain with a shadow of a past .What this is a bad compensation for what we have lost , Whatever form our difficulties take ' we have to remind ourselves that what has happened has happened .Do not permit yourself to nurse grief , disappointment, bitterness ,despair, beyond a reasonable period 'Be not concern with with the present life as it is now.
Fit of depression waste time and waste us as we remain brooding what might have been if only life had stayed the same , or people had not gone away ,or changed, or if only we have been fortunate enough to have been in right places at the right time. TO BE CONTINUED.......
