Coping With Stress, Depression, And Anxiety!
Do you sometimes think there is nothing you can do about your
stress, depression and anxiety levels? You have too many bills to pay,
too many responsibilities to meet, and simply just too much to
accomplish in a day.
You can say that again!!
The other
day I had just finished paying the monthly bills (a necessary chore I
simply hate to do), I was late for my Yoga class and driving faster than
I should. In order to save time, I passed on the shoulder of the road.
Only for a short distance... after all, that pick-up truck ahead of me
was doing the same thing!
Lo and behold, wouldn't you know it,
the police stopped me. Just my luck... the cop didn't understand my
pleading, I was late for class, I was a poor retired teacher, it was my
first time... they were all true! To make matters worse, the pick-up
truck got away.
That did not alleviate the ticket I received and it
did not alleviate the stress, depression and anxiety it created. It
seems like sometimes you just cannot do anything to control your these
level.
Well actually, you have more control than you think you have!
The
simple thought that you have control of your life is the essence of
stress management. This includes learning and practicing relaxation
techniques like meditation, yoga, or tai-chi and exercising. Your body
can fight stress, depression and anxiety better when it is fit and you
have control over your life. Of course that's always a good thing!
You
probably agree, that in order to manage stress, depression, and anxiety
you yourself must take charge of your life. You must control your
thoughts, your emotions, your environment, and your activities (even if
it is driving your car on the shoulder of the road).
You are the
only one responsible for controlling the way of dealing with all of
these things. In essence, you are responsible for balancing your life
toward productivity.
Balancing Your Life
Think how you
must balance your life to meet the demands you have: for work, for
relationships, for relaxation and for play? Then you must develop the
strength to hold up under the challenges of life and the pressures of
stress, depression, and anxiety.
On top of it all, you must use
management to recognize when the Stress, Depression and Anxiety come
into your life and what is causing it. This is not as simple as it may
seem!
• Is the cause and is it constantly hitting you in the face?
• Is it constantly producing undesirable thoughts, feelings, and actions that are stressing you out?
• Is it constantly worrying you or causing you conflicts?
• Is it the excuses, habits and attitude you use that helps to identify your various causes?
There are some other important questions you must ask yourself:
• How do you explain these problems? Is it temporary? Is it simple? Is it unexplainable?
• How do you define your situation? Anxiety? Is it part of you work? Is it part of your family? Is it part of your behavior?
•
To what do you attribute to you life style? Do other people cause it?
Is it caused by outside events? Is it normal and acceptable?
If
you recognize and accept the responsibility for your stress, depression,
and anxiety, that's the first step and maybe the most important. This
begins to control and possibly eliminate your situations! Remember:
Particular Thin
Depression is no longer a rare psychological
condition in the world that we live in. Believe it or not, more people
are finding themselves having to deal with depression now than they have
ever been before. This is why it's important to understand it
completely and whether or not there is truly a cure for depression.
What causes depression?
There are a wide variety of things that are known to cause depression. Here are the most common ones.
Alcohol & Substance Abuse
Prescription Medications
Death of Someone Close
Child Abuse
Dissatisfaction With Life
Stress
Keep
in mind that this isn't a complete list of depression causes but it
gives you a general idea of some of the contributing factors that occurs
the most among those suffering from depression. Finding out the root
cause of one's depression is the first step to finding a cure for
depression.
Can you inherit depression?
Depression can also be
genetic which means that it can be inherited from family members. This
isn't rare and one can be at risk if other members of their family are
known to have depression. Finding a cure for depression that's genetic
is the same as curing depression caused by other factors.
Depression Symptoms
Knowing
what to look for in someone who has depression will help you guide them
towards finding a cure for depression that can actually work for them.
While there's a wide range of symptoms associated with depression the
most common ones have been listed below for you.
Insomnia
Sleeping More than Usual
Lack of Interest In Activities that One Used to Enjoy
Lack of Concentration
Suicidal Ideations

If
you or anyone that you know experiences any of these symptoms than
professional help needs to be sought from a psychiatrist or medical
facility. The outcome of depression could be one that's devastating and
life-threatening if a cure for depression isn't sought out.
A Cure for Depression
Is there truly a cure for depression like many people say that there is?
Yes,
but the cure that will work varies from person to person. The most
common depression cures are therapy and prescription medications. It's
important that you look at the benefits and disadvantages of each option
in order to understand which route is the best to take and what to
expect from it. If you're still unsure it's advised that
king Leads To Particular Feelings! As do all others too.
