 Explore suggestions on how to help yourself if you are suffering from depression. 
Depression is a real illness and clinically recognized as mental health impairment. Sometimes depression is a symptom of something circumstantial going on in your life. Indeed so, there are other forms of that can be assessed as chemical imbalances, but these types can also be triggered by the circumstances of your life. It may be because of you every job, the people around you that you cannot connect with, a rocky road of divorce, or something much deeper as spiritual of sexual restlessness. Your body could be in chronic pain, and this can have an adverse affect on your mood. Going through a financially insecure and troubling time in your life is also very distressing, and prolonged worry will dip you into a cycle of depression. First, be honest with yourself and examine what might be the causing the tipping point, and then root out a solution that can alleviate the issue.

Be Honest With Yourself To Help Determine The Cause Of Your Depression

​Challenge the negative thoughts

Your mind can be an echo chamber almost impenetrable by the outside world if you’re depressed; as is the common phrase ‘me, myself and I’. In a fight against depression a lot of mental strength is needed to change your outlook on life, but when you’re depressed, it seems like nothing can shake the bleakness out of your mind. The greatest perpetuation that continues the vicious cycle is that the negative thoughts are dominant and unchallenged. But the use of logic can flip those thoughts upside down. You might feel alone, that no one likes you, but could this be purely fictitious? Do you have any evidence for that? You’re not worthless; you just need to meet new people who appreciate you. You need to enter into a mode where you want to impact the world in a positive light; i.e. live for someone other than yourself.

Some People Use Drugs To Cope With Their Depression

​Addictive personality

Unfortunately, some people use drugs to try and escape their lives, which in the long run, doesn’t help their physical state of their situation. An addictive personality is a colloquial term based on the belief that certain people are predisposed to getting easily addicted to the problematic behavior. The common concept is that an individual is influenced by various factors in their life including social, family, and psychological environment. You can be treated to come off of common drug abuses at centers like CanadianCentreForAddictions.org. Such places give mental support to individuals, so they don’t need to resort to escapism through harmful substances. Counselors can help you put your self-belief back into your mind and help you to cope with negative thoughts that lead you astray. You'll get advice on how to form your own support system, as the time of suffering silently will be over, and you will get people dedicated to seeing you become healthy working with you to improve your personality.


Get outside the norm

There is a chemical change in the brain when met with new challenges, as the level of dopamine, which is associated with pleasure and enjoyment is altered. Do something new to get outside your comfort zone. When you’re depressed your enthusiasm is lackluster, and you can get stuck in a rut. By pushing yourself to do something different, you might meet new people, gain an interest in a new hobby, learn something you didn’t know, and challenge yourself to try something new.
