Answer 2

Explanation:

I had been in depression for almost 3 months. It was hell, I can say.

But now, I am out of it.

I can say my mind had become a machine that could only produce negative thoughts and emotions. If you are in depression, you would usually have these symptoms:

1. Lack of hunger. It happened to me. My appetite had plummeted.
2. Not feeling like doing anything. You lose interest in the activities that you used to enjoy.
3. Indifferent to everything happening around you. Yes, if something negative happens, it only makes you more depressed. It seems like an endless abyss.
4. You want to be alone. You don’t want to engage in any conversation. The paradox is, more you sit alone, worst your depression becomes.
5. Recurring feelings of being trapped and hopelessness.
6. Every thought that comes to your mind is negative. There is no room for positive thought. You constantly feel bad.
7. You have started to believe that nobody can ever take you out of your depression.

Well, considering the last point 7, that’s true. It is your mind. Only you have power over it, nobody else. And depression is nothing but a state of mind. There is nothing wrong outside. Understand this.

The worst part is, only you know what you have been going through. Nobody would really understand your mental state. Don’t worry. It is not their problem. It is your problem and you have to come out of it. Don’t even try to act on any suicidal thought that you might occasionally have. This is not a permanent problem. It is just current state of your mind. That’s it. You will come out of it. Eventually.

.

It is not a mental disease. NO! NO! NO!. If it is a disease, then everyone who has negative thoughts is a diseased person.

It is not permanent. Mark this one.

Now, I am going to tell you a powerful lesson here. Pay attention:

“ Mind and body are connected.”

Once again:

“ Mind and body are connected.”

.

You are in depression right now. Your mind is heavily loaded with negativity. It would be next to impossible for you to allow a positive thought into your mind. I can say you have little control over your mind right now. But you know what? You have one thing in absolute control. Your body. Use your body to tame your mind. I know it sounds contradictory because I just said- “Mind controls body”. But please add one more thing to that “ Body also controls mind”. It goes both ways.

Do something that engages your mind. Absolutely important. You know why? It keeps your mind off of your depressing thoughts. And gradually, your mind will come out of autopilot. More you bring your mind out of autopilot, lesser it tends to fall back to old ways of thinking.

Resolve right now that you will get up every morning and do some physical workout. Doing some physical workout will release feel good endorphins in your brain.

Do Anuloma Viloma pranayama at any cost. Learn the right technique. This pranayama has very calming effect on your mind. This pranayama will give maximum benefits when you concentrate your mind while doing it. Don’t listen to music while doing this. Another pranayama that I would like to mention is Kapalbhati. It is a powerful pranayama which shows effects from the day 1 itself. Kumbhaka is another powerful breath retention technique that calms mind to a great extent.

Do yourself a favour by learning mindfulness. Do it daily.

Try to be with people. Don’t sit secluded. THIS IS IMPORTANT. If you stay alone, talk to someone. It would be even better if you could talk to someone who would understand what you are going through.

Instead of taking allopathic antidepressants, use ayurvedic medicines like Ashwagandha. I have found it very effective. Antidepressants do have negative impact on your body. Vitamin C has been found to lower the cortisol levels as well. Cortisol is a major stress hormone produced by adrenal glands. You could find great info about Ashwagandha in the video in the end.

Take proper sleep. Sleep deprivation actually makes depression worst. One important tip. Never use your bed to lie down and think. The reason is your mind associates bed with thinking. You must only go to bed when you are really sleepy. If you meditate and do pranayama, it will be easy for you to fall asleep. If possible, start consuming egg yolks. Consuming 3–4 egg yolks daily is perfectly safe for a healthy person. Egg yolks contain vitamin B6 which help the biosynthesis of melatonin (for deeper sleep).

Take enough sunlight. Sunlight has the power to dispel negativity. Also, your body synthesises vitamin D using sunlight. Vitamin D is important for the production of hormones that keep you mentally healthy.

Thanks.
