I once suffered from severe depression, stayed in the hospital several times without being cured, and lived in agony every day. But now I have recovered, life is very happy, and I successfully walked out relying on myself. Only by learning to believe in myself can I slowly overcome depression.
During the early stages of my depression, my confidence and courage slowly diminished. Every day, I felt helpless and hopeless, seeing only the terrifying and tragic aspects of depression online, which plunged me into loneliness and despair, constantly asking why this was happening to me. At night, I could only curl up in bed in pain, various scenes flashing before my eyes, insomnia all night long, unable to live or die.
I stayed in the hospital three times, but none of them completely helped me get rid of depression. After years of torment, I saw many examples of recovery online, which ignited hope in me. I started a series of self-rescue methods. Although I seemed out of place in the eyes of others, I persevered. First, I adjusted my own state, no matter how others mocked or insulted me, I didn’t take it to heart. In the past, I was always afraid of others’ opinions, always trying to avoid them, but now my inner self has become confident, no longer fearing them.
I started running again, at first it was difficult, very reluctant, but I forced myself to persist. However, persistence will show that this has a great effect on relieving depression. Running can make us feel happy and increase our self-confidence. Over time, depression will slowly disappear. Of course, many exercises are effective, as long as you stick with it!
For people with depression, the most important thing is to step out of the house. It is difficult to get rid of depression when living in one’s own world every day. Only by integrating into society, communicating with others, feeling joyful, and opening up can one stay away from depression in the long run.
