Signs of Depression

What are the signs of depression? Well, if your feeling... tired, stressed, worthless, like nothing matters, like you don't matter, lack of motivation, like you aren't good enough, aren't liked, or even suicidal. These are the most common signs of depression, but there are always more. Depression is nothing to joke about; it is a very serious subject.

When discussed with your doctor, you may be prescribed anti-depressants. Some will work great and others may worsen your condition. With prescribed medications it is always trial and error, until the right medication is found that works specifically for you.

How Can I Eliminate Depression For Good

I have suffered from depression from childhood up and was on many of those medications. I have not taken a prescribed medication in 5 years. I decided that I was strong enough to surpass anything I was going through. A lot of times, your depression is caused by something from your past. In order to eliminate this permanently I did the following....

1) Determined what was causing me to feel and think this way. (Not surface thoughts, think deep about when it started) 2) Realize that I am able to eliminate what causes me to think this way( Guess what, it's typically not yourself) 3) Find at least one thing a day that I am good at and remind myself that I am good at it. 4) Find at least one thing that I am thankful for in my life and couldn't live without. 5) Find out at least one thing that I am needed for. (Who relys on me- It may take time, but people and animals do rely on us) 6)When those same bad thoughts come in telling you that you aren't good enough or liked - push them away with the facts you have just found. (Yes, this is an internal debate.) 7) As time goes, you will get a lot better at this. (I won't say it's easy, but you are strong enough to fight this on your own and will without realizing it.

I promise you, if you follow these mind altering steps, you will see that you are a great person and the negative you were thinking was simply based on a past experience. Like I said, this will take a lot of hard thinking and internal debate; but if I could do it, I know you can. This is not a quick fix, this is a life altering conquest; which will be worth it in the end.
