Depression is a very undesirable state, and you wouldn’t wish it on your enemy. But the interesting fact is that everything that happens to us is provoked by our behavior, thoughts, feelings. Our psyche is a single system, and therefore one thing pulls the other, and so on along the chain.
Any result appears as a result of performing certain actions in the correct sequence. In fact, the mechanism of depression is very complex, but many people manage to find it. If they changed their thinking a little, they would already be happy people.
In this article we will talk about what thoughts and actions can cause depression in the future.
The mechanism of development of depression is quite complex, but people manage to find it
Keep your feelings to yourself and don't dare express them
Be more restrained, curb them, and under no circumstances let them out. This primarily concerns anger. Never get angry! Be more reserved! After all, intemperance is the lot of bad people, but you don’t want anyone to think badly of you, do you? And in order not to appear in anyone’s eyes as a petty coward, carefully hide your fear.
Don’t forget about friendship, love and other “pink snot” that publicly make you look like an abnormal idiot. You don’t know if anyone can be friends with you or love such a “miracle.” What if you are publicly rejected?
Do you need it? You need to be more restrained! It’s better to remain silent, and it’s even better to give up these inadequate feelings. This is the only way you can become absolutely independent and invulnerable. Does anyone think that you are lonely because you are too proud? So they are wrong!
The connection between nutrition and mood
The connection between nutrition and mood Each of us wants to look good.
A toned stomach, a good figure, not an ounce of excess weight - this is the ideal to which we all strive. And for his sake we constantly torment ourselves with grueling diets. At best, we give up sweets and starchy foods; at worst, we leave only kefir or, for example, buckwheat porridge in our diet. It is not surprising that with such a diet, a good mood disappears somewhere. Food is the fuel that our body requires to function normally. If you skip meals, you will experience a drop in blood sugar levels, which will negatively affect your well-being, including your emotional one.
Equally important is what you eat. Studies have shown that a lack of iron, thiamine and folic acid in the body leads to increased fatigue, irritability and serious depression. Even after the diet comes to an end, you will have to try a lot to bring your health back to normal.
Without a doubt, you will lose extra pounds. But will you pay the same price in the end?
Always remember the great sense of duty
It needs to be revived and carefully cultivated. Remember which of your loved ones you should help. This wonderful desire will masterfully free you from your own desires, and your life and everyday life will be planned right down to the grave. And choose between different debt options more globally.
After all, depending on the bank for accounts payable is not that, it’s somehow petty. But a lifelong debt to parents or one’s own children is exactly what is needed. Such debt obligations will help your brain develop qualitatively - after all, you will periodically have to think about what exactly and how you need to do in order to pay them off.
Mechanism of occurrence and causes of depression
The brain works in such a way that if any of its centers is excited, it inhibits the work of other cells, and the excitation that arises in them is redirected to maintain and strengthen the dominant area. Therefore, after a person has become fixated on a negative experience, the following happens:
- The depressed area becomes dominant. Other centers suspend their activities, support him, and the depression spreads to them.
- A person gets used to his condition, stops fighting and loses the opportunity to get out of it. The brain resists attempts to change the established situation, overcome depression, and constantly creates internal tension.
If the brain has already experienced depression, the risk of its recurrence is high.
The exact cause of depression is unknown; in modern medicine, its occurrence is explained by a combination of various genetic, biological and psychosocial factors. The likelihood of a severe form of depression in the patient's immediate family is 2-3 times higher than in people who do not have cases of pathology among their relatives, but this is less than with other mental disorders.
The disease is associated with a lack of serotonin (the hormone of happiness), with abnormalities in its synthesis and dynamics in interneuron contacts of the brain, as well as with mutations in which the protein of axons (the processes of nerve cells in the brain) stops working. As a result, the axons are distributed incorrectly throughout the brain space - they come closer together, become entangled with each other, and those parts of the brain that they previously reached no longer receive the necessary portion of serotonin.
A person’s mood deteriorates, feelings of anxiety, guilt, aggression, manic syndrome, indecision, craving for sweets and sweating appear, and sleep is disturbed. The patient's movements slow down, it becomes difficult to concentrate on anything, and obsessive thoughts about death and even suicide come.
Social factors in the development of depression are as follows:
- low level of self-esteem;
- experienced physical violence;
- overwork;
- conflicts in the family;
- loneliness;
- disappointment;
- lack of love and care in relationships;
- loss of loved ones;
- difficult life situations arising incl. as a result of natural disasters, military events and economic crises;
- childhood abuse;
- loss of a parent - in children under 10 years of age.
A person’s thinking is negatively directed towards himself, his life experiences and the future. Depression can be caused by head trauma, brain diseases (for example, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease), AIDS, multiple sclerosis, endocrine and oncological disorders that provoke despair and suffering, as well as the use of alcohol, narcotic drugs, toxic drugs and certain medications (sedatives, cardiac and anti-inflammatory drugs). ).
The following can lead to mental disorder:
- junk food with lots of trans fats and refined sugar;
- lack of vitamins, microelements and sunlight;
- long-term toxic effects of the environment;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- infections and associated inflammatory processes in the body.
Why do you need your own life? Take someone else’s
This is much more important. Feel this sweet feeling of sacrifice at least once. You will definitely like it. Constantly sacrifice yourself for the sake of someone, try to do it so hard that thoughts about yourself do not come to your mind.
Understand once and for all: your desires and needs are petty and unimportant, while someone else wants something more correct and important. Why think about yourself? Always think of others first, elevate others' priorities to the rank of immediate paramount importance.
Avoid the luxury of having your own opinion
It’s much easier and better not to have any opinion at all, otherwise what if someone thinks differently? You don’t want to be the initiator of a conflict, an absurd quarrel or an acute confrontation, do you? No personal opinion is worth such troubles.
Therefore, read children's poems to yourself - it is much more useful than thinking and “giving birth” to some incomprehensible thought of your own. And then, it’s better to remain silent than to attract attention to yourself with your intelligence and intelligence, because there will definitely be someone nearby who is much smarter than you.
Learn to criticize yourself extensively
Any achievement of yours is worthy of merciless criticism. Do this more often, build your own perfectionism into a cult, and always be dissatisfied and dissatisfied with what you usually do. And don’t try to meet any requirements - you won’t be able to do it anyway.
Ruthlessly part with all your worthless achievements - there is, strictly speaking, nothing to be proud of. But you need to make every effort to do everything again and much better. Direct all your efforts to get at least a tiny step closer to perfection, which, alas, you will never be able to achieve. Work as best and as hard as you can, and don’t even think about feeling sorry for yourself!
How to Cause Depression: A Step-by-Step Guide
It is clear that if you do not want to bring yourself to a state of deepest despondency or despair, then you need to act on the contrary. It is important to understand one main principle that leads to depression - irresponsibility. The famous coach Anthony Robbins, instead of asking the question “what happened,” when a depressed person comes to him, begins to work with him in the direction of “how did you get to this point?” The fact is that a responsible person is unlikely to reach such a state.
The reaction is, of course, interesting. The thinking model of depressed people who have to answer such a question is usually so radically different from the question “how did you get yourself to this point” that they fall into a stupor. They are accustomed to attributing their depression to external circumstances, just as they attribute their whole life.
But let's talk less in general and about specific things. Here are simple steps that are guaranteed to make you depressed.
Guilt comes first
Develop this wonderful feeling in yourself and try to feel it as often as possible. Can you refuse someone something? How bad! They didn’t help a friend today, but before they had never refused to babysit her children while she went shopping. So what if you have high blood pressure and you called an ambulance.
Your friend is still depressed and impressed by your unexpected refusal! And this is entirely your fault! Don’t forget to apologize as often as possible – to everyone and for everything!
You are always to blame for everything, even if you try to do everything right. Today you barely got on a crowded bus so as not to be late for work, but you could have given up your seat to one of the ten people who were left standing at the bus stop because of you. Very bad! you must be ashamed!
How to get depressed in 10 minutes if you are a schoolboy. 10 ways to get depressed.
1. don’t take care of your life, take care of someone else’s.
Sacrifice yourself for the sake of someone, preferably, sacrifice diligently, completely forgetting about yourself. 2. don’t even think about expressing your feelings. Especially anger. This is not good. Only bad people get angry.
3. always do what you should and what is needed (especially for someone else. It’s better to choose something more global. Having a financial debt, a loan, a mortgage is too small. It’s better to owe something to your mother or yours for life children.
4. do not take credit for your achievements. It's petty. Criticize yourself, be unhappy, dissatisfied with everything you do. Be a perfectionist whose demands are impossible to meet. Throw everything you have already achieved into the trash. You have already done this, why be proud and happy about it, because you can do better. There is no limit to perfection, so you will never reach it, but you should always do your best to get closer. Spend more effort on this, don’t feel sorry for yourself.
5. Feel guilty more often. You can cause accidental harm to someone, right? Not on purpose, of course, but you can. My friend was rejected today. He always asked you to meet him at the airport at night, and you always agreed. But today they refused because you have a terrible flu, and you can barely sit at work anyway. He was so upset. And why? Because of you! Apologize for everything often. It’s your fault, even if you try very hard to do everything right. For example, today we took a seat in the subway, breathed there, but it was stuffy there even without you. How not good! Be ashamed.
6. Never take any position. It's better not to have any opinion.
7. Regularly think about how other people evaluate you. Make them proud! Comply.
8. take on more responsibility. Be responsible for all projects at work, for the well-being of your neighbor, for whether your husband put on a fresh shirt in the morning, who your child is friends with, who your girlfriend sleeps with, whether your dad took his medicine in the evening, whether all your co-workers are warm or cold in the office, and, of course, for the mood of your boss. And, of course, you cannot sleep peacefully if children in Honduras are starving.
9. don’t even think about defending yourself or your interests! Well, unless you need to feel guilty. Don't even think about it. If a tipsy man paws you on the subway, don’t even think about getting indignant or moving away. Remember that he is simply sexually unsatisfied, and perhaps you can help him! Follow the rules of the background, do not reflect. 10. And most importantly: don’t forget that anything can happen! The world is full of dangers, people are unfriendly to you and you still have to earn their love and good attitude. There are maniacs and murderers all around, the world is unpredictable, and this will not end well. Therefore, plan, control and organize everything more carefully. Be on the lookout! Always predict the bad, then you definitely won’t be wrong. Don't laugh too much, otherwise you'll cry tomorrow. Better not laugh at all. Author: Irina Mlodik.
Always worry about what other people think and evaluate you
Without a doubt, this is the most important thing in life! And your task is to do everything to make them truly proud of you. It's difficult, but you have to cope! You need to make sure that everyone you know and even strangers think what an amazing person you are! That they had the rare happiness of seeing you, and maybe even being a little acquainted with you!
And don’t even think about behaving differently so as not to disappoint them. Therefore, before you do anything, analyze your future action: will they like it, what needs to be done, how to act and how to look so that they all feel good. And remember: only you are responsible for their positive thoughts.
Forget about yourself and your interests
And don’t even allow the thought of defending them. This can be done only in order to feel guilty, otherwise - under no circumstances! After all, for other people it is much more important.
Friends ask you to borrow a large sum - be sure to give it, and it doesn’t matter that this is not the first time and it’s irrevocable! Asking about the fate of a debt is indecent. After all, they need money much more than you do; you’ll get by somehow. It’s not beautiful to compare money and friendship.
If you are offended and humiliated, accept it, you deserve it. Your colleagues are unfair to you - that’s wonderful! You have an extra reason to suffer and get closer to the desired state of depression (see “How to get out of depression on your own”). It’s better to understand right away: they are individuals, valuable personnel, and you are office plankton, a mediocre decoration for someone’s life. Therefore, sitting quietly and below the grass is your daily destiny.
How to get depressed to lose weight. How to lose weight and not get depressed?
A huge number of books on diets will confuse anyone, and weight loss methods, of which there are a huge number, will drive you crazy with their diversity. Reading any book on dietetics, you notice that they are all based on the following principles:
- there is no single rule for losing weight (they started making money on this phrase, because more diets mean more money);
- You can lose weight yourself, so you shouldn’t see a doctor, because you have to pay a lot of money for it (and you can ruin your health yourself for free).
One thing is true: if you need to lose weight, you should go to the doctor. Remember, since you cannot treat cancer on your own, you cannot “kill” the body with diets on your own.
There is one important “secret of losing weight”, which is described in many dietetic manuals. It says that in order to lose weight you need to fall in love with someone. It should be remembered that this principle can drive a losing weight person into a corner and lead to depression.
For example, when your weight is more than 80 - 90 kg, and you find something you love, go on a diet, limit everything you can, and start playing sports. While you are losing weight, the object of your adoration can find another girl.
The weight that you lose will return due to a new depression, which will now be associated not with excess weight, but with the severe loss of a “loved one.”
It is known that many overweight, obese people, especially girls, eat away “their grief.” This grief comes from the fact that by eating our problem, called “excess weight,” we multiply it many times over.
Consequently, every day it becomes more and more scary to look into the future. It is bitter to realize that no one needs you, and that obese people are not respected or loved in modern society.
The main thing is not to listen to anyone except the doctor during the process, and strictly adhere to the diet that he prescribed.
If you don’t have money for a course of treatment, you can simply take the first consultation, where they will tell you which foods are suitable for you to eat and which are not.
Such a consultation will cost you from 5 to 25 $. After this, you can build a menu for yourself for every day.
Many overweight people become isolated in their problem. The best solution is to expand your social circle. By communicating, you will become more relaxed, friendly, and open.
You will want to become more beautiful for yourself and those around you. Find friends who can support and guide you. Remember, you will succeed! Have a successful life and great achievements.
Prepare yourself in advance only for the bad
Life is a very scary thing. The world is terrible, contradictory and unpredictable, and modern streets are a haven for murderers and maniacs. And nothing good is expected in the near future, so you only need to expect the worst.
Don't dare laugh too much! Remember the popular wisdom: “A lot of laughter - a lot of tears.” You can’t be happy at all, otherwise people will think you’re lucky and will deliberately put the evil eye on you. You need to prepare for a disaster in advance, and when it happens, you will be proud of yourself as a skillful predictor.
I would like to hope that you are so wise that after reading such advice, you will do exactly what you need to do. After all, when depression is a serious mental illness, it is really scary, and when people create a problem for themselves, and even cherish and cherish it, sometimes simply reveling in their condition, then some kind of shake-up is needed to get out of the adored blues.
Therefore, sometimes it is so necessary and even necessary to look at the problem that has arisen from a completely different angle - only then can you really understand something and draw the right conclusions.
