Depression – What’s The Solution
We have to admit that sometimes there are difficult stages in our lives. During that time, we are often tested, and later realize that tests had a great impact on us today.
Sometimes we look at an individual and the first thing that comes to our mind if they are smiling and enjoying themselves is, “I wish I could live that person’s life, they seem so happy, free from problems and hardships.”
The truth is that nobody has a life free from hardships. It is easy to hide what we have been through and to keep the pain that continually adds up inside without opening up and discussing the problem. One of the most important things I have learned is constantly keeping things to yourself can lead to more severe anxiety and depression.
Depression has become a very serious and common illness among people in today’s society. It is true that depression is very hard to overcome and recover from. You cannot simply wake up one morning, go to a therapist for a 45-minute session, and feel happy and cheerful again. Recovering from depression, anxiety and panic attacks take a while, for some people it may take weeks, and for others, it may take months or even years depending on how hard they are willing to work with the therapist, psychiatrist, and antidepressants.
The hardest part of getting through depression is not knowing who to turn to for help. It becomes very hard for us to trust people and take advice because we have isolated ourselves completely from the people we love. It becomes extremely hard to control our emotions as well. The first step is to discuss your problem with the parent you feel most comfortable with. Letting out your emotions is one way of reducing depression because emotions will eventually control you if you let them build up.
I would just like to say that there is truly nothing worth being depressed over in this world. We need to put our faith in Allah and trust that he will protect us from anything and everything. Let us make the hereafter our main priority and if we focus on that alone, and I can guarantee that depression will not be a problem.
