So what if I am unaware of what is making me depressed then how am I suppose to push myself towards something? For example your ex girlfriend you pushed yourself towards thinking of her. Well if I am unsure of why I am depressed then how do I go about finding something? If that makes sense.
Hey man, appreciate you posting here looking for support..
how is your life, in a social aspect? do you have many friends? how old are you? this small information will let me better determine how you could go about defeating this demon.
Depression is a serious issue, in a sense that it tends to overpower any other feeling you may possess. I suffer from major depression, although not diagnosed, I know this personally. I find the best way to overcome such a thing, is to socialise with friends go out and do some adventurous things, nothing beats a peaceful environment such as a forest or something, the fresh air and serenity seriously opens your mind to a much more positive solution. This may be difficult for you to do such things, as depression can also cause fatigue it may or may not make you feel empathetic toward socialising with others and actually getting off your ass to do something interesting.
Exhilarating experiences such as sky diving, white water rafting, bungy jumping and many more give such a more powerful emotion than what depression does.
Life is difficult, on a case to case basis it's worse for some than others. I find medication is only a temperamental solution, and will only worsen things as time passes, an easy way out, if you will.
Grasp life by the loins and take control over your depression, you can do this. There is no real solution and/or cure for depression, rather you have to get out and there and keep yourself pre-occupied.
