Depression and anxiety are not synonymous with weakness, nor are they the result of personal choices, we cannot decide whether we want these conditions to accompany us or not.
No, emotional problems don’t work that way, is that a question?I always want to feel bad and then I get a little sad and anxious to see if I drown. These are not signs of weakness, weakness or poverty of nor are they signs of abandonment or neglect.
- This can happen to all of us.
- One day we realize that things have lost the feeling they had.
- That there is nothing left to cheer us up or motivate us.
- That it is difficult to get out of bed.
- A deep feeling of sadness or irritability appears.
At the same time, it can happen that everything causes us agony or exhausts us, that our breathing suddenly accelerates and that we feel unable to face life in a sincere way, one way or another, we feel defeated by circumstances, without forces nor will. This state comes and goes, or is with us all the time.
Then we begin to think that perhaps we should consult a specialist who explains what is going on, that we are overwhelmed by a deep sadness or a huge turmoil that incapacitates us to face daily life.
As a result, we sink into an anxious, depressive mood or a mixture of both, from which we began to avoid as much as possible leaving home, we do not feel well away from home, nor for performing tasks or activities that we previously found very satisfying, and even unrelated to the people around us, etc.
So everything seems second to none, but we can get out of this place. At this point we need professional help to support us with explanations that bring emotional consistency to the situation and help us overcome it.
And this last point is the purpose of our article today: it changes our relationship with our environment and with the people around us, it is not a comfortable situation for anyone and, in fact, it may be that at that point criticism begins to appear. and begin to overwhelm us with comments and attitudes full of misunderstandings.
You’re like this because you want to walk, get up and do something useful in your life, are you a sloth or a sloth?Is that a lot of cowardice?, face life at once and stop the . . .
These kinds of phrases further fuel sadness, apathy and anxiety on a day-to-day, let’s say these comments and attitudes add to the negative thoughts that pollute our minds and, as a result, the person’s mind and world become even darker. .
However, this indirectly leads us to follow inertial and isolate ourselves more in our lives, as well as to reinforce the vicious cycle that always pushes us into the trap of negativism, rather than providing clarity to our state and giving truthful information about what it is. is happening, our atmosphere is becoming increasingly disadvantaged.
In our society, there is great cruelty around psychological and emotional pain; these are considered seconds, third parties or even quarters in an order of importance. In fact, the low value given to our psychological health is very frightening.
Just as it does not come to mind to ignore a swollen or bleeding wound, a continuous and sharp stomach ache, or a severe headache, we can never ignore psychological pain.
That is, we cannot let time heal because we run the risk that this will not happen and, on the contrary, our wounds will open and light up again, that the infection will proliferate and aggravate our problem.
I wish we could choose not to have problems, enjoy every moment and always be good, but we can’t help it and, of course, no one is safe from danger.
The sooner we understand this, the sooner we will learn to take care of ourselves as we deserve and not to put more wood into the heat of problems, not to light our minds with an internal dialogue derived from the social opinions that degrade and degrade our Emotions and the problems with which we feel. We discover, when we realize that the world is not really everyone’s favorite color.
