Ending Depression

.
Depression - One of the most debilitating and deadly diseases known to man and yet it is largely mistreated and rarely cured.

First let me begin by telling my story, perhaps it will validate the statements that I make, and this is the short version, I am working on a full workup on this subject that will available soon.

I know about depression first hand, having spent a great deal of my life being depressed. It is rampant in my family, and I was told by many people I needed to get some help, and yet never did.(Denial is also an integral part of depression). So that in and of itself is the first hurdle to overcome. But let’s get back to the story,

I have had many black and dark days where I felt hopeless and unable to “DO” anything to change my circumstances. Until I finally decided to escape what I thought was causing my problem. I ended my relationship with a woman who seemed to be all that I had wanted in my life. Several weeks after I left, my world imploded. All I could see and feel was the darkness of loss and my pain. Time no longer mattered, life no longer mattered.

My mind spiraled deeper into the abyss, until finally I found myself trying to decide whether to use my gun, or tying a trash bag over my head, as the solution. In desperation and by some divine intervention and assistance, I called out for help. I tried a variety of solutions, some of them were a bit unorthodox, from contacting online psychics, to calling the suicide hotline, meditation, and alcohol. I also called my brother, who drove a considerable distance to be there for me, as he had dealt with this problem for many years as well, and with his support I finally decided I needed to get on medication.

I made my appointment with the doctor to get some drugs, and started immediately. Medication made matters worse, all I wanted to do was sleep, and my mind felt like I was swimming in mud. So I quit taking any drugs. I had to find another way, I had to solve this without the drugs or other forms of mind altering substances.

Finally, after repeated sad, painful and scary days and nights in this state, I found the answer. It didn’t require drugs, or therapy or killing myself. It required getting control of what was causing the depression in the first place, My Mind.

I resolved my Depression in one weekend and it has never had power over me since. Does it still exsist? In reality - NO. Do I experience the feelings? Ocassionally, but now I understand the message and know how to read it and it has no power to affect me.

Ok – I understand if you are reading this and find it a little difficult to believe, but if you want to end your depression, stay with me. I felt the same way.

Also, I am not saying therapy is useless or unnecessary, it is essential to have support and guidance, as it is almost impossible for the average person to do this alone. So you will need to have someone that is trained to help you. What is more important is finding someone that can actually help you resolve this issue and will support you applying what I am sharing with you.

The Answer –

It is important that you understand that FEELINGS good or bad, physical or mental are FEELINGS ONLY, nothing else. You can call them SIGNALS or MESSAGES from a friend trying to help you.

They are not the CAUSE of your pain or pleasure, they are only INFORMING you how you FEEL at the moment. When you understand this a completely new path opens up for you to take control over how you feel.

A FEELING brings you a MESSAGE, an INSTRUCTION describing how you should deal with this feeling.

Depression is a feeling, it is a message that something is affecting you. It is your job to find out what that is, and change what you are thinking about it. Then your feelings change.

I have done a lot of work on the spiritual aspects of life, energy, the Law of Attraction and other Universal laws and can tell you that You and only You can change your life. Every part of your life is exactly the result of what you created. As soon as you can accept that, your life will take on different meaning. Until YOU accept it, doing this work will be difficult. (reading back through previous posts may help with this)

So how do you change the feelings, how do you read the message and deal with it. It is all about controlling your mind.

Right here, right now you have control of your life. You can decide. The feelings you are having are the result of thoughts about the past or future.

So YOU have to change what You are thinking about, since depression is related to thoughts about the past or the future, to stop the pain you have to stop the mind. This requires bringing your attention to the NOW, right here, right now. And you have to do it until you are able to stay there or at least be there anytime a sad or painful feeling arises. (I had to do it for 48 hours straight, before my mind finally gave up and stopped the madness of regurgitating the thoughts and feelings of pain and sadness.)

If you want to more on this, here is the website I found that changed my life, he has put things into a simple little book that will change your life. The cost is under $10, which is a real bargain for this information.
