What It Means To Be Depressed

[dcred]

Brings a whole new meaning to the question, "What's Up?"

The word "depressed" itself contains the image of being weighed down

I myself have experienced loosing the majority of my family and have a best friend that has experienced the same by violent deaths and we talk all the time and for us this is what it is and getting depressed isn’t an option. We have been expected to deal with it and we have, but for us we just simply don’t believe in depression so we haven’t experienced it for whatever reason, it has made us stronger and more loving and present. There is a great deal of control you have in the way you see things. I only choose the look at the good my family gave me and try everyday to honor that. And rather I’m right or wrong there is a lot in life that is hard but an individual does choose what they are going to do with that. For me it is an honor that I was able to be around to take care of my family through death and I wouldn’t change it for anything.

Ive learned as well depression is rooted in the past, anxiety is fear of possible futures. Makes you want to be, here, now. It's a gift to be present!

I know a person with MDD that when it gets severe enough, she usually winds up at a paych hosp. Depression is underestimated too much on our society of just how serious garbage can get...

We are energy and being depressed and sad is simply a lower vibration. You need to do things to be on a higher vibe. Laughing, walks in nature, being around higher vibration people. Also, being creative, listening to music brings your spirit up to name a few. Depression is worrying about the past and anxiety is being worried about the future. You need to be in the now and let go of fear, stay away from negative people and stop watching the stupid news!

Only you can control your life. If you choose to be depressed, you will be depressed. But if you choose to be happy, then you will be happy. That’s all there is to it. Just always be kind and courageous, and all will be well with your soul and heart and mind and you will become infectious and make others smile, then happiness is imminent!
