How To Fight Depression The Right Way

How to fight depression? What is the general plan

, the strategy? How can you overcome depression once and for all, and do it right the first time?

These questions are very important, as many people fail to overcome depression exactly because they don't have a thought-through plan.

Before we review how to fight depression, let's first see how NOT to fight it. The first mistakeyou can make isto tryand ignoreyour depression. Don't be in a hurry to say "that won't happen to me" - you'd be amazed how many people do that.

The second major mistakeis to"force" yourself to be happy.Deep inside of you everything may burn, but youstill do your best tosmile and be just like everyone else.

There aren't that many things in the world worse than that.I tried it myself because I believed that if you smileand pretend to be happy then somehow your depression will fade. Big mistake!

Even if you do "lighten" your depressiontemporarily with thismethod, what you're doing is just "tightening the spring". You aren't really solving anything, you're just delaying the inevitable. One day this self-deceit tower will come crushingon your head,and you will regret the day youchose to overcome depression through voluntary ignorance.

Let's see how to fight depressionthe rightway, though. I firmly believe thatdepressed conditionis caused either by objective circumstances or by false expectations.

While it's pretty much obvious how to fix the circumstances, I'd like to talk a little bit about false expectations.

Let's say you have a job that you hate with all your heart. Why did youagree to haveit? Why didn't you even try to choose something else, likedifferent career or even your own business?

In most cases that choice can be tracked down to other people. You most probably took that job because your mom and dad told you so. They probably did that because they believed it was the best choice. However,it's your life on theline here,and you have the right to decide for yourself what to do with it.

Never listen to others when it comes to important decisions in yourlife, always go with your own hunch - and you'll see how false expectations will vanish like a bad dream, together with your depression.
