5 Reasons To Not Let Depression Control You Anymore!
Family - It can be very vexing to loved one's when you are
depressed. On one hand they want nothing but the best for you,
but on the other they sometimes get frustrated and wonder why
you can't simply snap out of it. It can be particularly hard on
children of someone with depression as it may affect their
outlook on life for many years to come. Having experienced this
myself, I can say definitely this the number one reason to fight
your depression.
Work - Work life generally suffers when in the throws of
depression. It is more difficult to concentrate and not as easy
to create and maintain good professional working relationships
and partnerships. Furthermore, it makes being a "Self-starter"
more unlikely. Rather than moving forward, maintaining the
status-quo becomes more acceptable, even if only unconsciously.
Love - The love life of a person with depression can suffer
tremendously. Regardless of How much someone may profess their
dedication to another person, if the other person can never see
the bright side, it can wear on them. Life is short, right? Love
conquers A WHOLE LOT, but it doesn't conquer everything.
Sometimes we must add internal fortitude to love to truly be
invincible. Besides isn't it better to fight, not just for you,
but for this person that you love as well?
Health - University studies have proven that people who are
depressed are more
likely to get sick, and more likely to die of
an illness than those who are content. It is in your benefit,
health wise, to fight your depression as well. A recent New York
Times article, citing a University study, indicated that persons
who have been diagnosed as depressed have more hospital visits,
and a shorter lifespan.
Prosperity - The depressed person sometimes lacks clarity of
thought, and may miss golden opportunities to improve their
lives if only they had been paying attention. This may be,
perhaps, the most important point, since many people believe
they would be happier if only this part of their life, or that
part of their life, etc was different. Allowing good things to
happen in your life might just give you the jump start needed to
end the cycle of depression and self imposed-isolation( even if
only figuratively ).
Fighting depression can help your life in many ways. In some
ways, the fight in itself is also a reward. You become stronger,
do better at work, have better relationships, and can focus on
what is really important in life so that you can improve it, for
yourself, your family, friends, and loved ones.
