How to overcome severe depression

Sometimes things, people or circumstances make us feel upset, sad and really bad for a certain period of time. Sometimes it goes worst. Worst that much that we can’t even remain calm anymore. It happens suddenly and we surrender to that feeling. Our family and friends couldn’t predict that this will happen to someone. And we can’t predict that this won’t happen to one of our family’s member. There are lots of preventive ways not to get into a depression. But what to do if it already happen to you? Here in this article we will discuss 5 effective ways to overcome severe depression and anxiety disorder.

First of all: If you decided to overcome depression by yourself, it’s important to change your view on daily life.

1. Delay important deals and decisions to better times. Depression changes our minds in a worst way. So we can’t see daily life in good lights. Because of this you can make a mistake in your life. You can be afraid of new beginnings. Or you can take too much. Hope that you will handle this easily. So don’t be in a hurry when you are depressed.
2. More talking to people. Usually depression makes us to avoid any contacts to people. But talking to people can help us. It’s really useful. Choose the people who you want to talk to carefully. Try to avoid pessimists and manipulators, because they won’t help you to fight depression.
3. Do more sports. It can be hard to do sports when you are depressed. But, really, what can be more helpful, but sports? It’s not essential to do professional or hard kinds of sports. Just fitness or gym can be good for everyone. You will ask us why? It’s simple – physical activity releases endorphins to brain, what helps us more than everything else.
4. Do what you like. Dedicate some time to yourself. If you like watching movies or series – do that. Get yourself some favorite food. Turn off your phone (don’t forget to tell your friends or family that they won’t reach you by the phone for a certain period of time). Turn on the TV or your computer and relax. It really helps sometimes. Or if you like constructors, collecting marks, playing video-games, etc. Do it. You will see how it will change your mood. At least you will be relaxed and calm.
5. Travel more. There are lots of stories about people that were depressed and started traveling. Seeing new horizons, meeting new people. Feeling new excited (or forgotten) feelings. When you are traveling you are leaving the “old you” in a previous places.
