Depression: Time Not to Pretend
Depression can feel like a negative psycholoy supporting only limited beliefs about yourself which can be surmountable or untrue. Expectations from others, or compairsions in life overall can add to inner demons of the human experience. Certain times, these are not real.
Depression can end when you take time to notice these repetive negative beliefs, take time to step away from an environment where stress can exaherbate the headspace holding the beliefs and/or gradually reprogram your thoughts to support a productive belief system.
I recite affirmations every day:
I am thankful for my sleep.
I am on an endless journey through infinity and there is plenty of time. All is well.
I bring light with me whereever I go.
Depression can arise from a childhood abandonment wound or an impluse to sef-harm. Given the genetics of addiction, a substance use disorder can incite triggering an episode of depression.
Treatment can include sobriety by virtue of a 12 step program or alternative, at a facility or at home. Psychiatric services, in the way of clinical diagnosis can offer support in the way of a prespriction. Today, pharmacology is very common.
Addressing the root of a problem is up to the individual as such I believe identifying with a substance use disorder and depresssion is a blessing. Why? Because it’s afforded spiritual and supernatural experiences, and I’m survived to this day.
Art comes from pain at times, and at time it doesn’t. The perception of any experience is the power of the perception. Knowing how to look at your life is where the agency exists.
“If you want to be someone, if you want to go somewhere. You better wake up, and pay attention.” Reservations? Have a seat.
Inventory, and alignement. Support and the willingness to seek it no matter what you feel your issues may be. Some people call me a Space Cowboy? YYJ….
When your number’s up, your number’s up. Witholding is not the way to joy. Overcoming fear is possible, by feeling it until it’s gone. Trauma can create fear in the body, and mind. Using rational objectives is important to cognitively know, and show why a depressive thought pattern can block the channels of peace. You don’t have to live in despair. Set reasonable results. Friends do care. Still there.
Focus on what you have. Not on what you have not. Freedom comes in being kind to your own mind. I wrestled with my thoughts quite a lot till one day, it clicked with me that I could commit to a good place. Sobriety, aloting that reality. Observations, to support moment to moment wellness. Sanity, as seen in simple self-care. To acknowledge there is a reason to try overall, is a start in itself. How? Honest. Open. Willing. I question existence, to a degree. In the end it’s about the relationship I have to the elements, on Earth in my Life. To interact often with Ocean, the Forest and the beach in my local geography is Healing.
Stay in tune.
