The human being needs 'reasons' to fight, do,, wishes, illusions, objectives, projects that give meaning to his life. Depression is reached, and once we arrive, we remain in it due to apathy, reluctance, disappointment and lack of meaning in our lives that we become routine and we feel absurd.
If we do not feel motivated to "do things", and rather we abandon ourselves to do nothing to be inactive, while we wait for it to arrive motivation and desire to do something, routine and inactivity turn into despair as we get tired of expect.
In this PsychologyOnline article, we will discuss whether Depression is a disease that affects many.
Motivation, new illusions, how can they appear in us? The fact that being well they seem to exist spontaneously leads us to believe that it is something 'natural', something that - if we work well - should be there like the respiratory rate or the pulse of the heart. But instead this is not safe, and any normal person goes through moments of emptiness and reluctance caused by the fact that the stages end, wishes are fulfilled, and because failures abound.
It is part of the possibility of remaking yourself, working in new directions, exploring new paths, looking for new options. These abilities are essential to combat fatigue, forgetfulness, doubts, and irritating delay caused by emerging obstacles.
Depression often clings to "I don't have the strength to continue" The depressed person sometimes feels resentment and resentment for something that has gone wrong. It is really very negative and sees everything with that perspective.
It's not that acute pain or depression totally incapacitated to look for exits -because even the most disabled person can seek external help if he sees that he alone cannot find the way out of so much pain and suffering.
Is important to have the conviction of wanting to get ahead and dare to seek new paths, it is a good for himself and for his family that suffers as much as you.
The reaction that experience dictates to us when faced with feelings of fatigue, weakness, lack of energy, is to rest until we find ourselves spare parts again. Of course, this principle is valid in most of the 'normal' occasions of exhaustion due to a physical cause (work, exercise, number of hours we have been active). Indeed, adequate rest restores muscle tension, regulates body metabolism and allows us to be ready for new demands.
In the case where the weakness is caused by an illness (a flu, for example), rather than replace an excess of fatigue we conquer a normality lost by a pathogenic process exceptional.
In the case of depression the state of 'weakness', muscle atony, and sometimes pronounced slowing it is more the 'state' of inactivity than the result of fatigue. It is a state that the person can describe as 'lack of energy', and that predisposes very negatively in the face of physical exertions such as getting out of bed, showering, dressing, scroll, etc. And the confinement occurs many times, the "desire to be alone and in the dark" as if this position them relieve and protect them from external aggressions, when the greatest aggression is in depression itself same since many times this becomes invalidating.
Another symptom that occurs in Depression is a postponement of everything we want to do and / or projects is "leave for later" and so on every day. Another of the observable behaviors in a person suffering from depression is irregularity of your circadian rhythms (They are those rhythms of our biological body that tell us when to sleep, when to eat, our sexual desires, our basic needs for subsistence) in depression this is noticeably altered, it can be with exaggerated insomnia or on the contrary sleeping a lot, to "escape" from this situation, isolate, not eat, or overeat when depression is also linked to an anxiety disorder, a total letting go, abandonment of the person, not cleaning, not grooming, dressing like that no more unwillingly, the greatest problem of the depressed is the lack of desire.
And many times this goes hand in hand with a self-harm and devaluation of your person ("I am worth nothing, I do everything wrong, it is not worth trying since it will not turn out well, nobody loves me, they do not understand me, they do not listen to me, etc.)
It is very important that ask for help in timeDepression is a disease that is increasing and with a great detriment of the person, it is disabling, from the personal to the social, they isolate themselves and do not accept parties, meetings, do not accept being loved, because they do not love each other, this leads to a large drop in self-esteem.
With professional help you can get out of the depressive state, do not forget that not only the patient suffers but also his family group.
Ask for help!
