Anxiety , Depression. I into depression?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like the past few years have been really distressing for you. I’m so sorry to hear that you had to go through so much, but you have fought through it. You have suffered quite a lot of traumatic events in a short span of time, which are bound to leave lasting memories of hurt and pain on you. While you are at a better place today, with all that you might have wanted- there might be lasting imprints of the past that might be affecting you among many other things. Just as a road accident might cause us to be in wounds and have scars long after the accident has actually happened, there could be a possibility that you too are carrying wounds that have not been attended to. I understand you have undergone a heavy burden of stress dealing with employment issues. The impact of a breakup and two miscarriages can have multiple emotional responses that one might not be able to process in the moment due to circumstances. In the therapeutic setting, you would be able to explore why you feel this way in the here and now, and have a safe space to express yourself. As you said, you haven’t been reacting or feeling like yourself even in happier circumstances. A professional counsellor would be better able to help you understand the causes and ways in which you can reflect on yourself. Considering you have gone through so much, it is completely understandable that you have not reacted or been the same anymore due to the impact of them on your life. However, we strongly advise you to consult a mental health practitioner regarding the same before self-diagnosis. Credits: Parul Pushkarna, Intern at Heart It Out

Good day.my Friend.  I can understand your concern. Depression or worry are Just symptoms of your emotions. You need is a counselling session to first ventilate your feeling and emotions inside. Be aware,  every individual is unique due to their upbringing, culture, society, lifestyle, problems,environment, food habits, education, family values etc. So there is no one fit solutions for all. General advices, Google search, youtube videos won't give better results in handling individual's emotional disturbance. You need a human touch  first to ventilate your feeling and  emotions and  to identify the root case. Then suitable solutions and therapies plan can be identified jointly. Appreciate if you can take the next by   talking to a counselor/psychologist. Go ahead and connect with any of us online for better understanding of your problems. Be positive. You will be alright soon.

Happiness is a state of mind. After having everything according your wish, if you are not able to feel happy from deep inside your heart, then something is lying behind, Which is making you feel disturbed. We must find out the the trigger and work on it. We all are made, of our thoughts. If you are surrounded by your intrusive thoughts then you must learn to change your thought process. As we think,  we start believing accordingly and we starts behaving (overtly or covertly) according our thought process only. It's like a vicious circle. You have to know the techniques, 'how to break that viscous circle. After learning the way to break the viscous circle', you will be able to make yourself free from your past traumatic events and be able to lead a happy life. I would suggest that counseling will be the best way to overcome, from your present situation. Change your thought process, get the key of happiness. Thankyou Ananya Maity.

Looking at the problems objectively. A Depression in any form starts with problems showing up in great abundance. These problems are not the real problem, but the fact that we maximize or minimize the problems to something far greater/smaller than they are. A break-up becomes the worst thing in existence and loosing your house doesn’t matter. Looking at the problems objectively creates a real chance to solve them accurately. Make sure you only focus on the facts, not the feelings, and talk it through with a friend, removing emotions from the problems entirely at first. Meditation. As guru-like as this may sound, meditation is receiving a much higher role in psychotherapy and is used in a lot of different approaches to many psychological disorders, but has shown to be especially helpful in combating depression. The reason for this is the fact that meditation helps calm the thoughts, which are extraordinarily negative during depressions. Limiting those thoughts limits the negativity and you can focus more on what is actually happening rather than what you believe is happening. (The specific therapy that uses this a lot is called ACT → Acceptance and commitment Therapy) Exercising. The most common symptom in people suffering from Depression is apathy towards life. They are not motivated to do anything and simply sit around, trying to waste time. If you are experiencing this then force yourself to do something! Anything is better than nothing, although exercise is one of the best things to do. Workout, do some physical activities, or be productive in some way. When you accomplish something you always feel better because you see that life can keep moving on! Accepting your situation. Most people try to deny the fact that they are depressed, hide from the negative events in the world and, simply put, run away from the truth. This denial causes them to misinterpret other events and the depression is left room to grow. Accept that there is a problem, but also accept the fact that you can change. Nothing is forever and you can do something about it. But you must believe in this first otherwise all the help in the world is not going to do anything for you. Realize it is only a season. Most depressive episodes are just that: episodes. Meaning that they show up… and then they go away. Sometimes, we just have a bad day. Period. There is no dwiddle-daddling around it and nothing we can really do about it. Accept the fact that this will happen to you but think of it like the changing of a season. We all have to go through a winter too, but eventually spring and summer will appear! Focus on what you can do. There are millions and millions of things that you cannot change. There are so many things that you wish you could do but can’t that focusing on it all the time is bound to make you depressed. Instead, focus on the actual things you can affect and change. You can do so much but you must focus on what you can do. The 3 most powerful words I have learned to do this are: “Okay… what now?” Given the situation, given everything that is going on, what are you going to do about it now? Get help. I know I have said this 3 times already but it is just that important. You are strong… stronger than you think you are, but that does not mean you have to do this alone. We are all allowed to be weak at times. No one has to carry the entire world on just their own shoulders and no one should. Getting help, even from a therapist, is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone suffers from depression at some point so everyone needs the help. Knowing where you are weak is a sign of strength and you should get all the help you can. I mean… are you really so proud you would bet your own life on it?

The incidents which you mentioned would have been emotionally overwhelming to deal with,although you have everything in life but still there is some void, counseling sessions would definitely help you to give vent to your feelings and would help  you overcome these negative feelings.

Consult a Clinical Psychologist

Hi... Yes, you might still be suffering from depression and you definitely need professional help. Depression can be very latent in some cases and can remain underlying for a very long time. You needed to overcome those issues but somehow you ended up repressing them and now it will need more time to address them. I suggest you start taking counselling/psychotherapy sessions on weekly basis and it will take 8—12 months minimum for you to recover. Duration of treatment varies from case to case. Some people recover between 6—8 months, some take more than a year as well. There might also be some underlying issues in your childhood which created a predisposition to depression in your teenage/young adulthood.
