Experience sharing: self-rescue experience from a convalescent patient with depression

Because Xiao L has been subjected to domestic violence since childhood, he is relatively timid when he encounters anything, and is seriously frightened because he is often beaten by people at home. Since then, no matter what difficult things he has encountered, Xiao L will feel chest tightness, tension and breathing difficulties. Such injuries over and over again make Little L very painful.

Here are some of Xiao L's "depression" self-help experiences, hoping to be helpful to friends who suffer from depression:

You can't sleep too much every day.

Generally speaking, the brain of people with depression is moving all the time, and they always fantasize about a lot of things. Even rest and sleep will produce a series of fantasy images, which will make our nerves tense if we keep dreaming in our sleep. In many cases, we may wake up in the middle of the night and have headaches the next morning, so we should try our best to control our sleep time.

Keep a relaxed and cheerful state of mind

If patients with depression want to save themselves, they must first maintain a relaxed and happy state of mind at all times. To relax your nervous system, you can't be tight for a long time. We can appropriately find some things we are more interested in to do and divert our attention, which greatly reduces our psychological burden and is also a way to maintain our happy state of mind.

Don't try to control depression.

People with depression are already in darkness and fear. When depression occurs, the more we control it, the more we feel that we can't control it, which is counterproductive. Think about it from another point of view: if we are depressed, we can treat it with peace of mind, and it is possible to relax ourselves and relax our nervous system.

Learn to accept reality, to accept yourself.

We are what we are in reality, and we don't need to think deeply about who we are. Don't blame yourself; don't complain about yourself; don't resent yourself; don't give up on yourself. Some patients with depression will also put their emotions on some external factors, in fact, this is also wrong, we can not complain about society; complain about family members.

If a depressed patient does not learn to accept himself and let himself out, it is likely to become more and more serious, and even some depressed patients will have a suicidal tendency.

You must make yourself cry when you encounter things that are aggrieved, sad and sad.

People with depression will put all their life, family or other stress on themselves, and they will play it back and project it over and over again in their brains every day.

If you feel aggrieved, sad, sad, must not be forced to suppress this emotion in the heart, we can cry out loud, let our spirit get a good release. So that the nervous system can relax from time to time. In addition, if we are tired of crying, we can also make the night's sleep better!

I hope Xiao L's experience will be helpful to the friends who are in depression. I wish you all a speedy recovery.
