Depression is the product of your thoughts. Your thoughts trigger emotions. The emotions trigger physical discomfort. The discomfort triggers the unproductive behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

If you are depressed, you are stuck in this loop forever. The first step to overcome depression is to understand the faulty thought process which is the root cause of endless misery. Even though this negative thought process has started in a na\u00efve and non harmful way, today it acquired a giant form where you feel it is the new normal.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

If you are depressed or if your friend is depressed, the depressed mind does not know that the thought process is distorted.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Here is the list for you to first recognise what it is:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

1.Zero or One game:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Whenever I ask my mom, \u201cWhat time is it now?\u201d She replies \u201c5\u2019oclock.\u201d The actual time would have been 4:45 PM. She never replies the correct time. For her time exists only in intervals of 30 minutes. Similarly, for a depressed mind, it is either a win or lose. They never care about the percentage of good in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

2.Palmistry<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

My dad does not like black clothes. On the day of festival, if I wear a dress, which has a black dot on it, he says \u201cWhy are you wearing black clothes on a festival day?\u201d One small black dot makes it a black dress.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

My dad owns a magnifying glass through which he could see the entire dress as black.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

A depressed mind needs just one obstacle to call his project a failure. By doing that<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • He is looking at his life through a magnifying lens. He is looking at a simple obstacle as a very big obstacle which will make him fail in the project<\/span><\/li>\n
  • He is jumping to a conclusion that his project has already failed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    He is a palm reader where he uses a magnifying glass to foresee his future from the lines on his palm.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    Negative prediction huh?<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    3.Tinted glasses<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    When you wear blue shades, the entire world looks blue. You can\u2019t change the colour of objects. You can only remove your glasses to look at them in a normal way.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    4.It\u2019s me<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    \u201cI woke up early today. Hence the city is flooded.\u201d<\/span>
    \nLogic and reasoning just goes down the drain.<\/span>
    \n\u201cMy friend is not texting me. I must have angered him\u201d<\/span>
    \nWhatever happens, you think the world revolves around you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    5.Who is responsible?<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    \u201cHe should have done that.\u201d<\/span>
    \n\u201cI should not have asked him to do that.\u201d<\/span>
    \nThis type of should statements make you feel frustrated and resentful towards life.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    6.I am no good<\/b>
    \n 
    \n\u201cYou look so beautiful in this saree.\u201d \u00a0You let it go by saying \u201cIt is the saree, not me, which is beautiful.\u201d<\/span>
    \nSorry to say, but you are not being humble there. You are disqualifying the compliment. You are good. Trust me when I say this. Don\u2019t shrug it off.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    7.Give names<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    \u201cI am an idiot\u201d<\/span>
    \n\u201cHe is a jerk\u201d<\/span>
    \nThere are other good things about you. You don\u2019t become an idiot just because you screwed up one event. Don\u2019t describe inaccurately and give names.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    How many of the above do you do? How are you planning to stop it?<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    Your depression is in your thoughts. Change them to better your life!<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/h1>\n

    Happy changing your thoughts!<\/b><\/p>\n
