Breaking the myth about depression
In this blog I want to give you top 10 tips on how to overcome depression and overthinking. Before we jump into these tips let us first clear some fundamental aspects about depression.
There is overwhelming information on the internet related to depression. Lot of misunderstanding is created due to this over-information. In the last 3 years the patients that came to me for depression counselling sessions were giving me all kinds of information they read on the internet about depression.
Their minds were filled with unnecessary assumptions and doubts. I am wondering that on one hand science is in the process of breaking superstitions and on the other hand the same science is installing superstitions.
Therefore, breaking the myth about depression is more important now. My friend, I want you to delete this thought from your mind that depression is some kind of disease. This is the biggest myth and you must break it.
Depression is a condition. In other words, it is the suppression of various expressions. It is a mental condition which one can overcome. I am assuming that before coming to this blog you must have read many blogs and articles on depression.
Yes you may have your counter against what I am sharing here. But my friend, I only have one question for you - do you want to overcome depression? If yes, then type Yes in the comment section below.
What is more important for me as a doctor who is helping patients to overcome depression is that my patients have to first enter into a relaxed mode. If you are overwhelmed and overthinking about depression, then it will be very difficult for you to come out of this situation.
So my friend, you can put aside all your collected information from the internet and all other sources. Read this blog with a more open mind. Be more receptive. Your receptivity will help you to break this myth about depression.
I have repeatedly told in most of my blogs, ebooks, videos and podcasts that depression can be cured. However, I will ask you one more time: are you willing to come out of depression? If your answer is yes then my friend you also have to understand that mere wishing will not help you.
Now let us explore more about overthinking and depression.
Overthinking and depression
I have explained in most of my webinars about depression loop. One of the elements of the depression loop is overthinking. My friend, let us further understand this part.
Human mind enters into overthinking mostly after some kind of life experiences. Various situations of life activate thoughts and emotions which are stored in memory. The game of overthinking begins in your memory.
Past experiences are triggered from memory. Then imagination is induced in those experiences. This develops assumptions. When this chain of assumptions is expanded, you have entered into overthinking mode.
You jump from one assumption to another. This goes on and on. It is called overthinking. When it comes to depression there are two possibilities:
Overthinking can lead you to cause depression
Post you enter into depression it triggers overthinking
So either your depression might have come via overthinking or your depression might have activated your overthinking zone.
No matter whatever is the case, rest assured that you can stop overthinking. For this you will have to train your mind. With specific tools and practices you can learn how to stop overthinking.
For now I want you to bring your attention towards overthinking depression. My friend, if you constantly feed your mind 1TB or 2TB or 100TB of information about depression, it will only increase your memory storage and nothing else.
Your memory will be filled with a variety of information only, which will become the fuel for overthinking. So now you know my friend how your overthinking is hampering you from coming out of depression?
I have had so many depression patients who were unable to overcome depression just because they were constantly overthinking about depression. I completely understand that you are in depression my friend. But you must stop overthinking as soon as possible.
I already have assured you that depression can be cured with www method - your willingness, willpower and working on it.
Now let us go to the top 10 tips.
Top 10 tips on how to overcome depression and overthinking
Here are the most powerful tips that will help you to come out of your depression. It will also help you to stop overthinking. So read all the tips carefully. But I do not give any guarantee to you that after reading these tips you will overcome depression.
Guarantee has to be a mutual process. If you guarantee me that you will implement the following tips sincerely for the next 45 days, I guarantee you that you will learn to overcome depression with ease.
Tip #1 - Change your belief
One of the biggest challenges to overcome depression is personal belief related to depression. Too much brooding over depression will not help you. Time has come for you to change your belief now.
First belief that you have to change is about your own self. If you have negative beliefs about yourself then it's time to change it. Holding a negative belief about your own self will never help you to overcome depression.
Second belief you have to change is about depression. Yes! If you believe that depression cannot be cured then this belief has to change right now. Depression is curable.
Tip #2 - Do not get influenced
Those who are unable to cure depression are influenced by their own negative thoughts and other peoples negative thoughts. If you are following too many peoples’ advice, then you are confusing your own mind.
Everyone has different opinions about everything. When you get influenced by too many people’s advice, your mind will end up in frustration mode. You will become more indecisive. Hence, this will stop you from coming out of depression. So instead of getting negatively influenced by other people, calm down yourself.
With a calm mind you will be able to make proper decisions. This will help you in your journey to overcome depression with ease.
Tip #3 - Learn to stop overthinking
Overthinking is the biggest hook for depression. When you constantly go on thinking mode about your sadness, problems, life issues it will loop you into extreme negative thoughts. These negative thoughts are fueled with negative emotions.
Hence, it becomes impossible to overcome depression until you do not stop overthinking. You have to enter into a learning mode. Which helps you to stop overthinking. The best way to get into learning mode is to pick up some hobby or do some creative activities.
Tip #4 - Take a firm decision
Another problem why people are stuck in depression is because they are in the Yes-No-Maybe zone. They are indecisive. Sometimes they arrive at a decision but then soon they change it. They do not stick to their decision.
If you really want to overcome depression then take a firm decision and say, “I am going to overcome depression no matter what. I will cure my depression at any cost.” Take this firm decision right now and begin your journey to overcome depression.
Tip #5 - Use your willpower
Once you make a firm decision now you will need to use your willpower to sustain your decision. Willpower helps a lot in fulfilling your decision. When you are only in a wishful thinking zone then you will not be able to manifest anything in life.
You must have heard this saying - Your wish is my command. But there is a catch here. The wish is converted into willingness. Once any wish enters into the willingness zone then it gets manifested. If you are merely wishing that you will overcome depression and your overthinking will stop automatically, then my friend, it does not work that way.
I may sound a bit straightforward or harsh but my friend I want you to come out of depression. I want to help you to overcome depression and hence I will guide you in that direction from where you will be able to reach your goal. My entire support is with you in your journey to overcome depression.
Hence, I am sharing everything which is essential for you to overcome depression and stop overthinking. Now you may ask me how I can use my willpower. My friend, if you will follow tip #4 sincerely, within a few days or weeks you will be shifted to the willingness zone. When you are in the willingness zone, your willpower works automatically.
Tip #6 - Reset your life goals
I have discovered that a couple of my patients were unable to come out of depression because they failed to reset their life goals. You had created a few goals in life but they were unsuccessful in achieving their goals. This was another reason why they were depressed.
You may have failed in achieving your goals hence it is better to reset your goals. Create short term goals right now until you are in depression and work on achieving those. With short term goal success you will get more motivation to create new long term goals. You will also be inspired to achieve those goals.
Hence, right now do not worry about your failures, come up with a new list of goals. I suggest you begin with minimum 1 and maximum 3 goals for the next 6 to 12 months. Right now your first goal should be focused on overcoming your depression. With that you add a maximum of 2 more goals and begin your journey.
Tip #7 - Enable your trust
Trust plays a very important role in your healing process. Whether it is to stop overthinking or to come out of depression you will have to enable your trust at 2 levels:
Self - Means you have to trust yourself first. If you do not trust yourself, then overcoming depression will become very tough for you. Hence, trust yourself.
Treatment - Next, you have to establish your trust in the treatment that you are going to take. When you trust your treatment process, it will help you heal faster.
Therefore, it is time for you to activate your trust as soon as possible. With enabling trust you will experience a 360 degree change in your healing process. Overthinking will reduce naturally.
A lot of time overthinking is also due to lack of trust. When you do not trust yourself and your treatment, then it generates too many negative thoughts in your mind. Your mental health is affected due to lack of trust. So my friend, let me reassure you that you can overcome depression and stop overthinking. I trust you. Hence, you also start trusting yourself.
Tip #8 - Take depression test
At this point I want to share some real facts regarding some of the patients who came to me for depression counsellings. Before starting any session I always ask my patients whether they have done any kind of depression test or not.
Now, why I am sharing this with you is because these patients went online and read many articles about depression symptoms. They assume that they have depression just by reading articles on the internet.
My friend, always make sure before entering into any kind of depression treatment whether you have depression or not. Hence, I asked them to take an online depression test which I have developed with my team.
This is a totally free depression test developed with reference to ICD10 code for depression. To their surprise when they took their test, the result showed no depression. Then I had to tell them that when it comes to depression, do not go with any assumption at all.
I could have started their treatment but you know my friend, I am here to help. For the past 25 years I have helped 1000s of people to come out of their mental health issues. So my R&D work is a continuous process. I also suggest that if you are just assuming that you have depression, then first of all take a depression test.
Tip #9 - Start self help treatment
Once you have confirmed your depression status via online test, the next step is to start your self help treatment. Many people do not start their depression treatment even though they discover that they are into depression.
The problem with not starting your treatment for depression is that you will end up in severe depression. Mostly the first stage is mild depression. This can easily be handled and treated without medicines. If you take care during your mild depression and begin your treatment you will be out of depression within 30 to 45 days.
If you prolong your mild depression without any treatment then within 4 to 5 weeks you will enter into moderate depression. And after that if you do not take action for the next 5 to 6 weeks you will end up into severe depression.
Hence, start your self help treatment for depression as soon as you confirm via online depression test. After doing R&D for 2 years me and my team have developed a self help depression treatment webapp. This webapp has all the steps given on how to overcome depression.
Also there are more than 60 video resources and audio resources which you will need during your depression phase. Once you begin your self help treatment and if you need any technical support, our team will give you full support.
Before we go to the last tip, I want to advise you that if you are in depression for more than a year then I will suggest you to use this webapp for at least 90-120 days. If you are on medication or taking any antidepressants then do not stop it. Consult your doctor.
You can always inform your doctor that you have found this webapp and want to use it while you are on medication. This webapp has no side effects at all hence you can use it while you are on medication.
Tip # 10 - Leverage sponsorship
Now I have also met so many patients whose economical conditions were not at the mark where they would be able to afford counselling fees and depression treatment. Hence, looking at every aspect my team has come up with a 50% additional discount sponsorship for 45 days depression treatment webapp access.
Therefore, do not waste more time now. Leverage this sponsorship and start your journey to overcome depression. This webapp will cost you less than Rs. 25 per day. If you look at this cost then it is much more affordable than the amount you spend in just one day for movie entertainment, food and travel.
Today I have given all the necessary clarity and top 10 tips on how to overcome depression and overthinking. Until you do not implement these tips, you won't get any results my friend. It will be another blog for you and some more KB info storage in your memory.
Before this becomes mere information in your memory, take action and get rid of depression. Live a happy life.
I pray for your wellbeing.
