A Review of Techniques in Managing Your Depression
Some people have a difficult time in managing their depression.
Sometimes, their depression and fears can get best of them. As a
result, here is a short list of techniques that a person can use
to help manage their depression.
I was told by a counselor that one of the ways to manage
depression is to challenge your negative thinking with positive
statements and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts
that make your fearful or depressed, challenge those thoughts by
asking yourself questions that will maintain objectivity and
common sense. For example, your afraid that if you do not get
that job promotion then you will be stuck at your job forever.
This depresses you, however your thinking in this situation is
unrealistic. The fact of the matter is that there all are kinds
of jobs available and just because you don't get this job
promotion doesn't mean that you will never get one. In addition,
people change jobs all the time, and you always have that option
of going elsewhere if you are unhappy at your present location.
Some people get depressed and have a difficult time getting out
of bed in the mornings. When this happens, a person should take
a deep breathe and try to find something to do to get their mind
off of the problem. A person could take a walk, listen to some
music, read the newspaper or do an activity that will give them
a fresh perspective on things. Doing something will get your
mind off of the problem and give you confidence to do other
things.
Sometimes, we can get
depressed over a task that we will have to
perform in the near future. When this happens, visualize
yourself doing the task in your mind. For instance, you and your
team have to play in the championship volleyball game in front
of a large group of people in the next few days. Before the big
day comes, imagine yourself playing the game in your mind.
Imagine that your playing in front of a large audience. By
playing the game in your mind, you will be better prepared to
perform for real when the time comes. Self Visualization is a
great way to reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation.
Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small
notebook of positive statements that make us feel good. Whenever
you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write
it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you
in your pocket. Whenever you feel depressed, open up your small
notebook and read those statements.
As a Layman and author of an anxiety book, I have done many
interviews with various counselors in how to manage fear,
anxiety and depression. The techniques that I have just covered
are some basic ways to manage your depression, however your best
bet is to get some help from a professional.
