If you suffer from depression you feel at times that things are hopeless and will never change.
Depression comes in various levels of intensity from occasional melancholy to a more intense feeling that being depressed is a part of you and is always going to be there.
You can learn more about depression in popular psychological journals. In Psychology Today states that “Depression and anxiety are, for the large majority of cases, emotional signals that one’s psychological health is not ideal and that one’s psychosocial/relational needs are not being met.”
The feelings of depression can be eased by seeking a social connections with others. Unfortunately depression is often accompanied by loneliness and low self esteem so that it may be very difficult to share your experience. You might want to wait until you feel better before you do. Which does not help you when you need help most.
Its important to know that depression can be treated. While there are many different approaches to dealing with depression gestalt therapy provides some of the best approaches to understanding yourself and what you can do to ease your symptoms. We can pay closer attention to how depression can suddenly appear and then how we might prevent it from taking over. My own bouts of earlier depression prevented me from using the natural gifts and facilities I had been graced with. With therapy I was able to gain confidence in myself as well as identify the voices that were keeping me from achieving my goals. Therapy gave me a richer understanding of ways to provide self care as well as to seek help from others.
