Depression makes it hard
to connect with others, heightening feelings of isolation. Therapy may help
develop better communication skills and restore your faith in relationships
again, or join a support group dedicated to depression for encouragement, validation,
and insight into overcoming it.
Self-care practices
include seeking help for small tasks and participating in outdoor activities
whenever possible. Try not to over-remember negative thoughts or events in time
by dwelling too much on them; focus instead on living in the present moment.
Keeping a journal may also help express emotions and detect distorted thinking
patterns.
As per Heidi Kling Ph.D.,
depression can affect anyone, but with proper knowledge and professional
assistance, it's possible to live well despite living with it. By making
efforts such as staying physically active, sleeping well at night, caring for
oneself well and remaining connected with family and friends while using
fundamental coping mechanisms like meditation to manage it more effectively,
depression can be managed more successfully, and joy can be restored in daily
life.
