Steps To Beat Anxiety And Depression

You will find me writing about come personal experiences in this article and understand that I have been dealing with spates of depression for quite some time, but did eventually overcome it. You will also find that I will share what I’ve learnt and how I have understood depression and anxiety, how I can personally cope with it, and how I eventually eradicated it from my life. I know that I am not the only one who has regular periods where I have become deeply depressed, yet I do actually understand that it does not make such things easier for me or anyone else.

When I chose to speak to my parents concerning the different factors that affect my anxiety and depression, it was important for me to encourage them to understand just what were my feelings and thoughts behind becoming depressed. My mother told me that she believed that I could have a gene that was causing me to become depressed, as many family members have had similar symptoms in the past.

I have as recently as last week suffered with a severe bout of this depression, however from it I learnt a valuable lesson. I had been having a bad period in my life where seemingly everything was going wrong. It was one kick in the teeth after each other. I had nothing to look forward to and decided that I needed a night out with my friends. There was one intention that I had in mind which was to get as drunk as possible.

I was hungover and felt very sick which was due to the amount of alcohol I had drunk the night before. Through the day I struggled to stay awake and as the day progressed I became more depressed. Then, later in the day, a negative part of my body, with a number of negative chemicals inside, took over my brain and made me think very negative about myself, my life and the depression.

I learnt one key lesson from this though, that going out and drinking a lot of alcohol, if you are feeling low and depressed, isn’t a good idea at all.

As I was speaking to my parents over my own feelings of depression and anxiety, I was told some interesting news and useful advice. They told me to think about all of the different things in my life that were getting me down at present and not to shut them away. They then told me that I should talk to them, think about positive things, and look to find solutions to overcome things.

You need to understand that this just isn’t an easy thing to complete but I was willing to try it. From this, I have come to realise that talking to someone about your own fears and phobias is a good thing, and you should not think there is anything wrong with admitting that you are stressed and depressed.

I really do hope not to live with these regular bouts of depression as I do find that they are annoying me and that I am feeling upset about them. This especially true when thinking about them means that I am unable to sleep at night, which is something that can happen regularly. I am though, looking for a number of different ways that I can beat my anxiety and depression and overcome the negative feelings that I can and want to live without.

I now try to think positive in all situations, life is far too short to be always worrying about everything. I have also started to read a lot of self-help books, these have taught me quite a lot of new things and have given me many new ideas.
