Depressed?

Getting Out of Being Depressed

Depression. The awakening is painful because now you are beginning to realize you cannot have what you hope for, or maybe you had it but lost it, or you can still have it but the point is, it is not here now.

You become frustrated. The frustration escalates to anger. You are angry at people you think directly or indirectly caused your pain of separating, being torn away from the hope, the dream.

You may just be angry at the circumstance, at the whole situation. Finding no one responsible, you might direct your anger at the world in general. Failing that, you direct your anger inwards, and that, spins you in a downward spiral of depression - indulging in one angry thought after another, one painful thought after another, sad thought after pitying thought after another.

You dig yourself into this deep hole isolated and disconnected from the world. You might even take comfort in this isolation, like a cocoon. This serves to sink you deeper and deeper still. Following the isolation you utter "No one really understands me. No one feels my pain."

Drugs and alcohol follow perhaps? You drive yourself into another world - the underground. There you say you find people who understand or otherwise don't really give a hoot so you can be who you want to be. No one understands. No one cares, so you don't care either.

What is wrong with this picture?

Well, absolutely nothing if you want to be depressed and stay depressed.
