depression

There are times when I can’t enjoy things. Sometimes I’m just sad or depressed. Often not really knowing why. It can be something what have happened or what didn’t happen. These time can be consuming mentally and socially. And even if I knew what the problem is there I have no strength to make the changes needed to ease the burden. I have no diagnosed depression or any mental illnesses that I know of. But I believe that there are times in everyones lifes when they feel depressed. Often these times comes with big changes in life. Some are positive changes and others are negative.

Positive changes can be new job, marriage, having a baby or finishing school. Every one of these life events can trigger some sort of chaos in mind. New things bring stress with it, new responsibilities and maybe the need to learn new skills.

Negative changes and events too much work, financial problems, include unembloyment, accidents, sickness, divorce, forceful moving to a different city (a problem often overlooked by parents when moving with children), death of a relative. All these events cause a injury in mental health. It’s not like a broken leg, which you could see, but never the less mind is broken. Mind needs time to heal. Many times talking is one of the best treatments for mental injuries.

Mental stress stack up like being covered with dust. At first you might not even notice it but as time goes and more mental stress comes you find yourself sad, powerless and depressed. And maybe you don’t know why. Sadness comes and goes and it’s part of life. It just can be so overwhelming. I just hope we could take the time to process the changes and crisises and to mourn our losses. I hope we could understand that our minds needs to be taken care of just like our bodies.

There are ways to prevent too much mental stress and to ease the mind from stress. About that later.

What do you think? Do you have same kind of feelings?

There is so many feeling low these days. Feeling bad about themselves, feeling depressed, feeling that they aren’t good enough.

I’m been thinking why is that. Why are people having low self-esteem or feeling that they aren’t good enough, pretty enough, rich enough, strong enough, fit enough, etc. enough. Who are telling what is enough? Am I one reason someone is feeling bad of themselves? Does my behavior change the view people see themselves? Could I do something that would say people that they really are more than enough, pretty much perfect.

How do we judge ourselves and others really alters the way we see the world. Do we see numbers in peoples looks or the clothes they are wearing? Do we say that he is a better singer than she?

Can we look at a person and see no flaws?

I really want to.

There is so much good in people. There is so much more good than we can see in a lifetime. It’s easy to concentrate on flaws and bad things. It’s easy to see what’s wrong.

Why is that? Why it’s easy to see flaws in ourselves and in others? It can be something we want to develop in ourselves. And then it’s good to see our areas that need to be developed. There is nothing bad to get better at things, but could we think those areas as points of under development or points I won’t develop because I don’t want to.

When watching other people, like really physically watching or viewing other parts of the human being, we could watch them without judgement. What’s that? Not rating looks? Not swiping anywhere? Yeah really not doing any judging. What about trying to see who the person is and what she/he is saying. What’s her/his story is? Then people wouldn’t feel down, feel depressed, feel that they aren’t good enough. Because they are enough.

The story of you is more than enough.
