But you're not getting much better, either. Remembering that karma multiplies when you sleep, going to bed is only likely to make matters worse. What is required is a strategy to deal with the situation.
And I call it a situation, because as those who have been through depression will agree with, the depressed feeling comes in waves. You are not constantly depressed. If you are, then at least you're not equally depressed all the time. It is the depth of these waves that really takes you out of the game.
When you're at the bottom, it is a little too late to figure out what you need to do survive that wave. The plan and everything you need should be ready already. What works will be different from person to person. Here are a few suggestions:
- A playlist on YouTube guiding you through the emotions. Sing along and dance for even better effect.
- Destroy something that needs to be destroyed - perfect when you're renovating your house and a wall needs to be taken down.
- Have a place where you feel distanced from the bad triggers, but close to your ancestors so that you can ask for help. I like to use some viking graves. If you don't have one near you, you'll probably still have a grave yard or another holy site to draw inspiration from. Even if it's a statue of Superman.
- Lion Yoga
- There is also an anti-depressive yoga.
Often, people around you may notice this before you. If this is the case, I recommend allying with them, so that they can initiate your plan at an earlier stage.
Remember that a depression is when your consciousness if filled with wrong thoughts. A daily morning and evening practice is therefore a good way to cleanse your mind, making a habit of good thoughts, increasing your happiness and reducing the frequency and depth of your depressions.
