Hi ,
Depression also called major depressive order is basically a mood disorder. It triggers the feeling of sadness and a total disinterest in anything and everything, It badly affects the way you think, act and behave. It slows you down and fogs your mind. It pushes one towards loneliness and makes you stay away from and distrust nearly everyone. Medical attention is imperative.
Keeping the above in mind, even if your willpower is weak, but understanding that something is wrong and you need to get out of that state, then some help can be provided to strengthen your will mental power increasing its control mechanism over your emotions. This is where professional can help you out.
The solution lies in developing a positive mindset and attitude. Through exercising we tone and strengthen our muscle, similarly engaging our mind positively will helps us develop a stronger mindset to overcome your unwanted behavior.
Additionally, it will help through the guidance of a professional to revisit your life experiences , your negative emotions , your past traumas , your failures affecting you etc to get clarity , reconcile and release them. In short to heal your negative emotions. It helps to fight light, without any heavy past baggage.
Your biggest strength should be to never give up on yourself . Understand that failing many times is normal, but succeeding once is rejoiceful. Do not be surprise that many great people went through this phase and are still brighter than many in our world. keep that in mind.
Develop some control mechanism, that you will not do or act in any way that can harm you. Whenever you feel that, decide whether you will distract and force yourself to some other pre decided activities till you feel mentally safer.
There isn’t any one solution for everyone. Everyone’s battle in unique and their recovery plan depends on individuals skills and abilities.
I wish you all the best and want to assure you that you have all the abilities to recover and be among the brightest person around, even if it is not so now. You just need to believe in yourself and make the required effort.
