Coping With Depression

Coping With Depression

Everybody knows what it’s like to feel a little sad every now and again, and it seems the term “I’m depressed” is thrown around like a ball in the schoolyard. But – in reality, depression is a serious mental illness. If you’re suffering from it, you’ll know that it goes far, far deeper than feeling “sad.”

True depression often feels like you’re trapped in a black hole that encompasses your entire being, with no light shining in and no way out. You probably feel alone, and that you’re the only person in the world who’s ever felt this way.

Here’s the good news – you’re not alone, and you’re not the only one. Here are some steps you can take right away to start coping with your depression a little better.

When you’re depressed, you can’t simply “feel better.” Overcoming this illness takes time, patience, and professional help. Dealing with depression is incredibly difficult, seeing as the illness itself drains your drive, energy, and hope. You’re probably not even up to doing any of the things you normally love. Yes, coping with depression is hard – but hard doesn’t mean impossible. The first step is always the hardest, but it’s also the most important. Small, positive daily steps will lead you down a new path, defogging the road ahead so you can find the real “you” again!
