How to conquer Depression?

Depression is a universal illness common in women from all walks of life. It is born out of feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and helplessness which gradually turns into a serious mood disorder. One in four women become a target of this condition at some point or the other in their lives, but only a few speak about it. With the regular hormonal changes in women, they get affected by this condition at the time of their puberty, pregnancy, post-pregnancy, miscarriage, divorce, menopause, or when they lose someone. Most women ignore the signs of depression considering that it is okay.  But that ignorance can create havoc in their personal as well as professional lives when left untreated.

Common Signs of  Depression

Most of the women get immersed in their day-to-day lives juggling with work and family, sometimes they feel tired. Though depression is common one cannot identify it easily. Some don’t even know that they are sinking into depression with each passing day. Lack of awareness can be the primary reason that it goes unnoticed.  Here are some mild and severe symptoms that can help you understand this condition better,

• Feeling sad every day
• Feeling empty or incomplete
• Changes in appetite
• Changes in the sleep patterns
• Lack of interest in daily activities.
• Hormonal Changes
• PCOS
• Weight loss/weight gain
• Suicidal thoughts
• Suicide attempts

How do you know if you are depressed?

There is no particular reason for depression.  It can trigger anytime when you have sadness hidden inside your heart and mind for a longer period. To be precise, it eats you alive. So identifying your problem is the only way to eradicate it.  You will know if you are suffering from depression,

• When you cry excessively without any reason
• When you are unable to sleep or sleeping for long hours
• When you are not interested in your life
• When you are no longer interested in sex
• When you feel worthless every day
• When you have low energy levels every day
• When you feel Restless
• When you get frequent episodes of panic attacks
• When you get freaked out in closed spaces
• When you shiver once you step out of your home
• When you can’t travel through elevators and escalators.
• When you suddenly stop speaking or when you are unable to frame proper sentences
• When you are feeling guilty because of something
• When you feel confident about yourself
• When you feel lonely even when you are surrounded by people.
• When you try to take your life.

Self-help is the best help for anyone. You can overcome any illness when you are ready to fight it. The idea of getting better should always come from within. Unless you speak about the problem no one gets to know about it. So addressing the issue is your first success against depression. Here are some remedies for you which can help you fight your depression.

Speak to a friend or family member

Some people notice the signs and share their problems with friends and family. But some never accept the truth considering the social stigma. Speaking about your problem doesn’t make you feel low or weak. It only makes you strong. You should speak to someone if you are feeling depressed.

Read Self-help Books

Book reading is a very good habit. When you are in depression self-help books are worth reading. You can read Biographies, Autobiographies, Traveling books for emotional balance. Books give you a better perspective on your problem.

Watch Stand Up comedy shows

Laughing therapy is good when you are dull and depressed. Stand-up comedy shows make you laugh and forget your pain.

Do Frequent Traveling

Traveling is a great idea for anyone who is suffering from depression. It gives you a great experience when you visit different cities. I would recommend you to visit a place which has a lot of beaches around. A beautiful shore can wash away all your pain.

Go for Shopping

Who doesn’t love shopping? When you are feeling low you should dress up and shop a lot. No matter what goes wrong, a good dress will always make your day bright.

Food and Spa day

I believe that good food can solve all the problems in the world. When you are in a bad mood don’t lock yourself in a room. Go out, try some good food, go to any beautiful resort and enjoy the spa time.
