It is not just a matter of feeling sad; discover an honest view of the mental, emotional and physical toll of clinical depression.
Routes to Depression
Expectations are an unfortunate part of life. I am content with who I am, what I think, and how I am. I do not desire to be anyone else, yet I am still burdened by the expectations to be like others. The expectation to be successful, the expectation to have a girlfriend or a wife, the expectation of being mentally and personally and physically healthy. It is a weird tug of war between expectations and lack of desire to change. Depression lives in the gap between reality and expectations. There are two aspects to this, reality and expectations. I’ll start with expectation, as I think it is easier to tackle.

I’M A STANGER HERE MYSELF…
“Have you ever walked alone at night; like a man against the world?” (Survivor). “I walk a lonely road; the only one that I have ever known!” (Greenday) “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely!” (BSB) “Oh, yeah (I’m alright); I just feel a little lonely tonight!” (Tom Petty). “You were just a face in the crowd!” (Petty).

Hidden depression is hard to find? That’s because you don’t know these 6 signals
In the world, 70% of patients with mental illness have not received treatment. A large part of this is not because of the limited medical level, but because the patients themselves ignore or even deliberately conceal it. Depression is a very common category!

The effect of tourism on depression, sharing of treatment experience of recovered patients
I think back to the things that have made me happy in the past ten years, only the time when I traveled to Tibet by bike. Other memories can be completely passed away. It is best for people with depression to get out of the environment that brings you depression. Then don't stay alone. If you stay alone, your brain will overthink. Then go on a trip if you can't stand it. Traveling really has a good positive effect on the treatment of depression. Especially the way of asceticism like the way we ride a bicycle, yes, I only think about it now, and now I know the reason after I wake up. I didn't even know that I was in depression before, and I didn't know what would make me so happy riding. A lot of exercise is very helpful to the improvement of anxiety and depression. Exercise plus travel, the effect brought by 1+1 is greater than 2. Every time the ride is over, that kind of mental outlook is particularly good. When I look in the mirror, I feel a lot better. Unlike when I was faint and insomnia when I was depressed, I felt frustrated when I looked in the mirror. I remember more than one netizen said that I was very yin.

Surviving a Failed Suicide
On March 8th, I was admitted to a psychiatric facility for suicidal ideation. I spent my time in the psych ward writing, connecting with other patients, and processing my emotions. After two weeks off support groups and medication adjustments, I was discharged and went on my way, fully intent on enjoying my life. Five days later, I was COVID-positive.

The truth about depression.
Aged 59 I’m trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. It’s Monday. It’s 08.37. I’ve walked the dogs and had breakfast. Now I’m sitting in my garden. The sun is shining in a cloudless blue sky. The birds are singing. I’m sipping a latte and planning my day.

How depression feels like? How can you overcome it?
Major problem people are facing these days is depression and it has increased even more during the covid-19 times as they are losing their loved ones and not feeling ok. They know they will be okay but not today and probably not tomorrow. Feeling down and not wanting to do anything is perfectly ok sometimes but feeling hopeless, down, confused, changes in the mind, feeling irritated, anxiety are all the symptoms to identify that you are going through a tough time.

Many people who suffer from depression have a common trait, that is, they have not learned to "become bad."
Do you frequently jump into the trap of "good guys"? "You are so good, you will definitely not refuse to help me." In work and life, once some people label you as a good person, they may intend to take advantage of you in the next step.
