Battling Depression ….

I’m feeling a painful lull in the air. This is your typical what’s next, what’s going to happen, what should we do now, feeling. Don’t worry you’re not alone. That sudden loss of energy, I’m about two cups of coffee into my day, and still don’t feel quite right. That loss, is your self-esteem, think what is causing me to not feel good about myself. This is the feeling that affirmations are for. So let’s backtrack to rethink all the things Ive said, where you’ve said to yourself come on, no way.

Examples of “come on no way”:

Im never talking to anyone ever again.
I need to be alone leave me alone.
I don’t feel well I want to go to the hospital.
I don’t plan on dating ever again.
I don’t want to talk to anyone.

Whats the problem here? It means Im shutting other people out, and instead what am I keeping in, you wind up harboring all those feelings that go against what you actually want and need. Such as support, feeling good, apart of, thinking about your future, looking forward to things. Remind yourself in these moments of “lull” aka “whats next” that you have to let go of whats bothering you, let go of your reasoning or what you think is your rational analysis, it’s not logical to go from heartbreak to heartbreak, without repairing and moving forward. You can’t punish yourself forever.

How to Battle Depression and Reassure Your Audience:

Say things to yourself like ….

Im not giving up.
Im going to get back out there.
I need support, and be thankful for support your given.
Set goals and update people on what’s going well for you.
Be hopeful and have things to look forward to.
Share good news, and live to make a good impression.
Never give up on yourself no matter what anyone says.

When we get down on ourselves, too hard on ourselves, the only person we are hurting is ourselves, not to mention the “lull” that gets created called antipathy in people who consider you eligible and ready to be successful, and may wind up feeling like they are reading and watching for no reason. Have something to show for yourself in life, what I learned in court today, that it will be by my actions that will provide the proof that is necessary to know that I am doing my best and improving. When you hit those “lulls” in life that might categorize to a feeling of “depression” that awful pit in your stomach that things are falling apart and not going to work out, put yourself back in the drivers seat, like your driving a sports car, and get yourself out of those slumps in life with affirmations.
