I have said a lot about how to overcome depression ! However, why should I help sinful beings? In order to help anyone who is destined, I hit the keyboard again and again to explain depression and how to overcome depression from different angles and depths.
Depression is essentially a cognitive disorder . This sentence requires ten million words to explain. I won’t go into detail here about why depression is essentially a cognitive disorder. Today I will tell you about the two major characteristics of depression: negativity and pessimism in thinking and cognition, and inhibition of movement. To defeat depression, we need to be positive and optimistic and take active actions to keep fit.
Some veterans are dissatisfied, saying that my thinking cannot be positive and optimistic, and I don’t want to exercise or keep fit in my actions. In fact, overcoming depression is as simple as walking. When we walk, we usually step forward with the left leg and extend the right arm forward, and step with the right leg and extend the left arm forward. This is called balance. Is this easy to move? Depression is like a "smooth crutch". Step up your left leg and extend your left arm, step up your right leg and extend your right arm. In short, the thinking and behavior of depressed people are unscientific. So, they are miserable. What should
do now? When you step your left leg, you no longer extend your left arm but your right arm; when you step your right leg, you no longer extend your right arm but your left arm. Isn't this simple? This is to tell , the depressed patient , that before, his thinking and cognition were negative and pessimistic, and his behavior was inhibited. Now turn your thinking and cognition around and become positive and optimistic; in action, be active in fitness and change your previous behavior patterns. It's very simple!
This is called trying. Your previous behavior caused your pain, now turn your previous behavior around. Is it okay to try new modes of thinking, cognition and behavior? Even if you don’t have the help of a psychological counselor, it’s entirely possible to actively explore and take active actions on your own. Moreover, professional psychologists tell you clearly: overcoming depression requires reversing previous negative and pessimistic thinking and cognition, active fitness, etc. The world of
is the opposite of and the unity of . It's like tightening a screw. If you can't tighten the screws right away, then you can tighten the screws backwards. If you want to unscrew the screw, you have to turn it upside down or backwards. If you still can't remove the screw, you're not using enough force. Isn’t the same thing true for overcoming depression? The previous thinking and behavior patterns were wrong. Now just reverse it and give it a try. Try it for a year first and see the effect. It's the same as walking. If you walk to Beijing, it's only 100 kilometers, and you can't reach it even after walking for 10 days. Don’t you know how to try in another direction? If this idea doesn't work, just change it. If this method doesn't work, just change it.
Look at people with depression. They are single-minded and very persistent in thinking that depression will never get better! In the end, the only option was to commit suicide! Not good at fitness! The side effects of taking medicine are too great! This method won’t work, that method won’t work; psychological counselors won’t work, psychology won’t work, and Buddhism won’t work either. If you don't even have the courage and actions to try, you're in trouble.
Take medicine for one year, get psychological counseling for one year, and exercise for one year. After you have worked hard for a year, you will decide whether medicine, fitness, or psychological counseling are acceptable or not. The result is: you just try it once and then don't want to try anymore, and you reject various methods. He even went so far as to say that psychology is not good, psychological counselors are not good, and psychological counselors’ methods are not good. Don't look for trouble! It’s not that psychology is not good, it’s that you are not good! It’s that you don’t want to make real changes and take real actions.
