Hi, thank you to everyone who got intouch with me regarding this post, I was so touched by some of your comments and stories. My apologies for only posting half the blog this is the second half, thank you for letting me know – now I know who reads my blog and cares about what I write and who doesn’t!!!
So from were we left off…
To explain further there are times when behind closed doors you are just with yourself and nobody else and you feel this emptiness and darkness within yourself even if you appeared so bubbly and chatty just a few moments ago. People often underestimate the power of thoughts, late at the midnight hour when you are just confronted by yourself and a myriad of negative thoughts/memories/visions…at this point it almost seems like there is no escape from yourself you start to become your own threat for your own survival. At this stage the sweet escape of death is an attractive solution to those who are depressed. This is a crucial and defining point as it ser
Having said this, there are times when moments of clarity can occur. The ‘’hang on a minute, what happening to me??’’ type of thoughts. If these thoughts occur grab them by the tail and do not let go! Fight your emotional mind with some logic and take yourself out of that dark sticky slump! Know, please KNOW that THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEPRESSION.
So here are some tips I learnt along my trip on my bumpy road which I proudly call the gift of life.
Number 1: Get some SUN!! go outside and bask inside the sun. We are natural organic creatures made from nature, the sun is a very very powerful source of vitamin D, our bodies are intune with the earth. Get out in the sun let the sun touch your skin and absorb the vitamins, these vitamins will fill you and invigorate you. Try to get to sleep before 10, as I mentioned earlier our bodies are intune with the natural earth so try to get to sleep before 10 as this will help your body’s chemical balance.
Number 2: we are natural organic creatures therefore we have to incorporate live enzymes into our daily diet. NO I am not talking about dead animals, thank you, I am talking about pure, fresh uncooked and RAW vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are very good as they convert the energy of the sun into our bodies, try to eat something whole live and fresh as this will bring nutrients to your body. I read somewhere that if you eat something dead all the time you will soon be dead too! Try to eat as much raw and fresh food as possible.
Number 3: Exercise, I can guarantee people who are suffering from depression are not getting sun, not eating live enzymes, they are not getting fresh clean water and are definitely not doing any physical exercise. Exercise automatically releases endorphines, puts you in a better mood and lightens any dull thoughts from within. If you are not in a position to do physical exercise then try to stretch your muscles. Get your blood flowing, do some yoga, do whatever you have to do to get the blood flowing in your body.
Number 4: talk talk talk, express your emotions, tell people you love and trust whats on your mind don’t bottle it up! Express yourself. One of the things that helped me is painting and crafting! Try to find a hobby and use your senses above and beyond normal everyday tasks.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, more to follow soon!
