A depressed brain is full of “I can’t” and waiting…
Waiting to feel better…
Waiting to have more energy…
Waiting for a better mood…
Waiting for a spark of motivation…
Waiting to care (as in to give a damn about)…
Waiting… Waiting…Waiting…
It is hard to do anything when you are in the depths of depression.
Getting yourself to do even the simplest thing like getting dressed, eating breakfast, brushing your teeth, etc. might seem like an attempt to climb Mount Everest.
Should you continue to wait?
You have been depressed for so long that you are sick and tired of being depressed. You want your life back! You desire to feel happy, confident, successful, valued, connected, interested and interesting. ‘If only I can break the cycle of this depression and set myself free to LIVE the rest of my life!’
The truth is: it’s hard to break free from depression. It’s almost impossible to talk yourself out of it (Would be nice to hear from people who succeeded this way!) It’s also unlikely that a person, who has been crippled by depression, would find strength, discipline and motivation to do and act differently from one particular moment forward.
Why is that?
