Depression hits all of us from time to time. The severity of your depression will somewhat decide how intensive your therapy needs for curing your depression. For some mild cases of the blues, sitting at home with comfort food and sweat pants can do the trick.
Homeopathy Curing Your Depression
In order to find out to curing your depression first you have to realize what does it exactly mean – cure a depression. In our previous posts (stress and migraine issues, thinking positive) you could read how important is a “state of mind”. In this topic it means you have to strengthen your mind in order to way of curing your depression.
The first thing you should do for curing your depression when you are feeling down, is to focus on your diet. So much of how we feel is determined by the foods that we eat. Cut out the drive through, fast food, take out, pre packaged and frozen foods that you may currently be eating. Instead, focus on making home made meals full of whole grains, veggies, fruit and lean protein.
Get up and moving. It seems like the last thing you want to do when you feel depressed, but just going for a walk, hitting the gym, or taking a bike ride can really boost your mood. Not only does it get you out into the fresh air, but it also boosts seratonin levels in your brain, which is the good feeling you get when you’re in love.
Sleep is a tight line here. You need to get enough of it in order to function normally. Too much sleep though can be just as damaging. Don’t stay at home in bed all day under the ruse that sleeping is good for curing your depression. A solid 8 to 10 hours is all you need.
How to Deal With Negative People Who Bring You Down
Give yourself a goal each day. Sometimes we don’t have any motivation when we are depressed. If you don’t force yourself to be at least a little productive, nothing will get done, and you may just sink deeper and deeper. Give yourself one goal each day to accomplish. It could be as simple and doing a load of laundry, or as much as grocery shopping or organizing your closet.
Don’t let yourself stay at home and feel sorry for yourself. While you don’t have to party non stop, make sure that you do spend time with friends and family. The presence of others can be very comforting. Be selective in who you are around though. Don’t hang out with someone else who is also depressed, or those who put you down or stress you out.
If the source of your stress is a break up or end of a relationship, don’t hang out around other couples exclusively. If you’re depressed about your job, try to find others who are also job hunting to be around. Avoid the stress in your life that has you depressed (if you know what it is that is causing your depression).
Mild depressions can easily take a turn and become something much more severe if you don’t take steps right away to work on it. If you feel as though you can’t function in your daily life, seek the help of a medical or therapeutic professional.
