depression (part two)
May 12, 2009I was asked out of the blue by my officemate,
How do you overcome depression?
I was taken aback with the question
I thought really hard
I have to have a good answer
Well this is what I finally said
Well you have to have a good outlook on life
Lighten up, smile, smiling always starts the healing
Try not to isolate your self from the world
That tends to invite bad thoughts and more loneliness and feeling of helplessness / hopelessness
Surround your self with good company, family, friends, loved-ones
Keep yourself always busy and preoccupied
Work with you mind and your hands
Engage in new/ old activities that you’d enjoy
Explore possibilities of a greater purpose why things are the way they are
Never lose hope
Have faith
Be strong
You may not have the best plan of action to really overcome your depression
But just try the very least
It’s always worth the risk to bring your self up again after stumbling from a fall
These are the times when I can not just drown my self in sorrow and wallow in pain
My strong and happy facade can really be my very own morphine
how about you?
