Being lonely is a normal part of our everyday lives. We get sad when we fail in our exams, when we're rejected by the person we love, or when someone very close to us passes away. Depression, however, could be more fatal than just plain loneliness....

Beat Depression with five blues busters.
It's perfectly natural for everyone to have periods when they
feel down. Bad moods are simply a part of life and some would
say that they help you to appreciate the good times. But depression.html
is something quite different. One sign of depression is that
your 'down time' goes on for more than a couple of hours per
day. The other is if you have two or more of the symptoms on a
consistent or regular basis: Low Self-Esteem, Fatigue, Sleep
Problems, Appetite Changes, Weight Swings, Feelings of
Guilt, Worthlessness, Suicide or a general loss of interest in
your normal activities. Then consider doing something to break
the cycle and get out of it, below are five things you can do
right now to effect a change in how you feel.
Change your posture. There is a definite body posture
that triggers or deepens depression. The signs are, moving
slowly or lethargically, shoulders slumped, head down looking at
the ground. These postures are known to increase negative
thoughts and emotions. When you break out of this posture - even
by doing something as simple as looking up towards the sky or
jumping up and down - you interrupt this pattern and change your
way of thinking.
Reduce the sugar in your diet. Just by reducing your
intake of cakes, biscuits, chocolate and processed foods could
make you feel better. In a study at the University of South
Alabama, Professor Larry Christenden found that reducing the
sugar levels in the blood helped to lift
the mood of 25% of
patients.
Laugh. Laughter is known to increase the levels of
endorphins and stimulate the left frontal lobe of the brain
where happy thoughts and feelings are created. Simply laughing
out loud for no good reason, watching a comedy programme, or
being with people who smile will have the right effect.
Share the problem. A problem shared is a problem halved.
Talking through a problem with someone will help you gain a
fresh perspective. If there's nobody around then listening to a
self-help programme would work in the same way.
Go for a walk. Studies have proven that exercise is just
as effective as Prozac in reducing the symptoms of depression.
In fact Professor Tylee of Maudsley Hospital, London says
"It's top of the list of things we're recommending doctors
'prescribe' to patients". Try it and you'll find that three
45-minute sessions every week will work wonders.
The key here is to take some action to break the pattern. Whilst
these techniques may not necessarily treat the root cause of the
problem they will certainly help to reduce the effect of
depression long enough to help you find a way to beat it
long-term.
