Depression - as most would say this is actually a sickness for the lonely person or the single person or the person who has given up on everything. It is hard to get away from this kind of sickness as this sickness is mostly for the person who thinks too much.
as a person who was depressed before and somehow made a semi recovery without the use of medical drugs and such. I know this may not seem much but if it can help a few people then please see if this helps you in avoiding this kind of situation, It may not cure it but at least it can give you a less depressing thing to think about.
1. don't misuse your savings or the remaining cash you have left.
usually some people splurge when they have money and try to be materialistic in looking for a way out of depression. I'm also guilty of the same reason. buying things and spending gives you a psuedo like relief that makes you want to spend. but this is not good if it happens for a long while. avoid this whatever you have left try to rationalize your remaining money. it will help in the long run.
2. ask for help.
for most people depression is an act of isolation and the ability to think that you can solve it on your own. it gets rather hard in the long run. you really need to talk to people who you know can help you. be it a doctor or anyone, just talk to anyone and try to ask for help. people are not mind readers and they won't be able to help if you don't tell anyone about it. remove your embarrassment or pride, these are the times that you need help.
3. Look for people who understand and not just anyone.
once you get help. filter those people that can understand you and are closest to you. you don't want help from people who are superficial as they are the one's that are people that don't understand you. because you need people that can support you. mainly ask your family and true friends for help.
4. Don't eat your usual comfort food.
avoid the usual comfort food that you usually eat. be more adventurous, as eating the usual stuff that comforts you actually makes your mind more dull. maybe it will help you see more things that are out of your usual zone.
5. do simple things.
this is considered hard for people who have already this problem. if you cannot make a list of things to do. try to do things you first need to do or ask for help in doing these things. you need momentum to do a certain thing. if you stop it won't help as it would seem like nothing matters.
6. Watch the movies or shows that you want to watch before, but avoid the ones that have serious tones.
avoid serious toned movies, why because you don't need more drama in your life as depression is already a form of drama that you are already having a hard time dealing. go for comedies or shows that indulge the mind (something interesting documentaries, how things are made, etc etc educational shows, shows that provide learning) you never know but something may peak your interest.
7. go to a place that you before have considered a place of rest or that may excite you (just not the bed).
avoid home at the moment. you need someplace that can spark your interest or places that may make you feel excited again in life. the bed is not the way to go. you really need to move out of that comfort zone. it may be hard but as a thinking species, you need to get a motor in yourself running and staying in bed is not the way to go. and the
8. Think Less of anything.
think only of what you want to do, avoid things that say what will the others say or what will my blah blah say. this is a time for yourself, this is hard as it is not an easy thing to do. as thoughts of a lot of things will fill up your head and won't be able to think about things that you may want for yourself.
9. Forgive yourself.
lastly. this is a must. asking for forgiveness of others is not the same as as forgiving yourself. if you burden yourself too much with this it will get harder and harder.
making a point in this is article is not about making a point but giving other people who may have the same idea but are not able to do and for those that are just looking for new ideas on how they can avoid depression.
