The first thing to do is self diagnosis, self diagnosis whether you have depression, the degree of depression. Depression self measurement table can be searched online, there are many. At that time, I knew that I had depression because I went to the hospital to see a classmate. This hospital is full of such patients. I remember their behavior and expressions clearly. At that time, I was very scared. When I was depressed, I started to smoke even though I never smoked, and the smile on my face disappeared. My face became more and more rigid. I knew that I was depressed At that time, I was working abroad. The environment was very poor, but I had to redeem myself.
Every day I look at myself in the mirror. But my face is rigid. I hold my face with my hands to make myself look like a smile. My colleague said to me in the mirror, 'you can't do this, you have family and friends, they will be sad, you haven't married, you still have a lot of things to do, & hellip; & hellip; "Yes, I still have a lot of things to do. If so, what should my parents do? Yes, I can't. I want to laugh. Life is just like this. There are no obstacles that I can't cross. Slowly you will find a smile on your face again.
Take part in social activities and talk to friends. At that time, there was a friend who worked outside like me. At that time, in addition to completing the necessary work, he went to talk to him. Until now, I have been grateful for this friend and his help to me at that time.
Singing, especially rock music. It can let your mood be released. Now in my life, when I'm in a bad mood, I'll sing rock and roll and find a place where no one can hear me, because the singing is not so good, but it's really effective when I sing, and the negative mood can be triggered quickly. After singing, I feel that life is really good and my mind is broadened again.
Exercise, especially in the morning. At that time, I chose running in the morning and walking in the evening. Through exercise, you can make your whole body excited and drive your spirit excited.
Sit in meditation. I choose to sit in meditation before I go to bed at night. There are many ways to do Qigong and yoga. Sitting around is the best way. You can also stand or sit. Let's close our eyes, top our tongue and palate, relax our whole body, relax again, sink our consciousness into Dantian, imagine the warm feeling of Dantian, and feel our breath. When you stick to it for a while, you will feel your mind tends to be peaceful, and the negative emotions will be far away from you.
Learning, can also be a hobby, to cultivate their own interests in a certain area. For example, reading, playing chess, collecting stamps and so on are all OK. They can let you start a new mentality again from the depressed mentality, and let you glow with new vitality. At that time, I read all the novels of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng. Well, Jin Yong's novels were more appetizing.
If you do the above, I believe you can come out of depression. Confidence and smile reappear, not forced smile, not disguised, but from the heart.
