The Pleasures of Sharing Information

We are perpetually bombarded by both external and internal forces. It appears that the more we develop technology and means to evolve things more rapidly, the more panic attacks increase. We should examine this further. Some might believe that progress in technology would contribute to alleviating the strain. However, anxiousness and depressive disorder seem more prevalent now than when compared to the past. I guess it’s possible that in the past, people simply didn’t mention it. Well they certainly make an issue of it these days. Truth is, as a TV watcher, I’m sure you’ve witnessed some sort of ad for a medicine, which offers panic attacks help.

people are confronting their problems in this modern world of solutions. It does not matter if it is a phobic disorder of massive crowds or a sleep disorder, scientists are always developing groundbreaking ways to fix it. Anxiety and depressive disorder are certainly at the top of this long list. When I ponder the notion of depression, I think of someone who has of late suffered the loss of a loved one or a person who is handicapped in such a way that precludes them from carrying on normally. Well this is usually a misconception. Numerous individuals are strained by the burden of panic attacks and natural depression for other reasons. We usually do not recognize the reasons. Sometimes it could be as simple as the food we eat. Curiously, contentment with life is elusive to most people.

Teens, as linked with this issue, are of a special interest. Anxiety and depressive disorder appears to be hitting them more than anyone these days. Granted, being a teen is challenging in some areas, and unbelievably easy in others. While some teenagers may argue that it’s dreadful. We all were teenagers at least once. We all know what it’s like. Nevertheless, I can never recall being depressed. Who knows what has happened in the last ten years. Panic attacks should not be a part of childhood. As a matter of fact, anxiety and depression should be much less frequent than it is altogether.

It simmers for months, years, maybe decades. The simmering continues until it reaches the boiling stage as it churns over and over. Then one day, perhaps without warning, it erupts and spews its deadly contents over everything on its path, pouring out devastation to the innocent below with its searing rage until it reaches its ending. And so it is in the life of a volcano.

Sadly, this same scenario presents itself in the lives of many on this earth. Someone says or does something that upsets or hurts you. Their perception may not see it the same way as you do, but because the issue isn’t aired and discussed, it remains buried within you. This angry or hurtful thought continues to fester, simmering until it reaches the boiling stage, and it erupts in some form as it spews its contents over all that is in its path, destroying much along the way.

Did you know that every time you recount a story which upset you on some level, you activate the pain into a deeper and stronger level? By the time you’ve told the story or thought the thought three times, you’ve increased your anger and stress and made the entire situation at least ten times stronger than the original episode!

Did you know that depression is simply anger turned inward? When a person doesn’t like something about their life or themselves, they become angry at themselves. But people don’t generally direct their anger at themselves. Instead they almost automatically turn the anger into blame directed at someone else so that they feel better. Problem is, the anger is still there, hiding within them. This anger will continue to fester until one day it erupts into illness, impulsive decisions, explosive behavior, depression, inability to move forward in their life, addictions, or a host of other negative and undesired expressions.

Something of great importance to understand is that each person on this planet has their own model of the world. What that simply means is they see things according to their truth, and it may look different than yours. Ask ten people to relate the same story and I can guarantee each story will be a little (or maybe a lot!) different. Ask the same ten people to share a dream of theirs and they will all be different.

The same thing is true in any relationship. Each person sees things according to their reference point - their beliefs, past experiences, ideas, thoughts. This is one of the wonderful parts of being a human being - we are all unique, one-of-a-kind. So it only makes sense that we might have different insights and perceptions!

Two friends who had been such close friends all through their college years had a difference of opinion. As a result they quit speaking to each other and went about their lives separately. Twenty three years went by and they never communicated with each other even though before they had been inseparable friends. One day they met unexpectedly. They began talking and catching up on their lives. They actually started to laugh and wondered how they could have let something so silly get in the way of their friendship so that they didn’t speak for 23 years. They had missed so much during those years that they could never get back.

Anger is a form of fear. You see, there are only two emotions in this world - love or fear. Anything of a negative origin stems from fear while all positive expressions come from love. People are usually taught from a base of fear - can’t have it all, you’re not perfect, you have limits, there are things you can’t have, there is never enough, people will hurt you, and so on. So individuals grow into adulthood believing life is hard and unfair, and live through those eyes. Living in this space keeps you small.

On the other hand, seeing life as exciting, an adventure, that you can do anything you want to do, that there are no limitations unless you believe that, and that love rules, creates an entirely different scenario. And one of the most important aspects of this life is forgiveness. When your eyes focus on loving expressions, you can understand that people have issues, that even if something seems directed at you it is really their stuff. You can choose not to take it on yourself but at the same time allow them to be where they need to be and still love them. Forgiveness does not mean, “What you did is okay to me.” It simply means, “I am no longer willing to carry around the pain in response to your actions.” You can still love someone even if you disagree. In fact, real unconditional love allows each of you to feel and believe what you want without changing the love. This is powerful and an incredible place in which to live!

Life is so very short, even if you live to be 100. People who live in fear are miserable even if they don’t admit it. Harboring anger, guilt, shame, hurt, or letting pride grab you, really only affects you. And someday, somewhere, when you may least expect it, it will erupt and spew its contents, destroying all in its path. Is this what you want for your life?

Take a minute right now and think about a person(s) with whom you’ve had an issue. Perhaps you haven’t spoken in years just as those two college friends didn’t. Isn’t it time for you to take the first step of releasing the hurt (victim mindset) and forgiving that person? Don’t let pride get in the way of repairing whatever you perceive is a grievance. Think about the happiness, peacefulness, and above all the love it can bring to you because you’d be letting go of the fear (negative) and allowing in the love (positive). The cost of hanging on to old wounds is way too high - the price of broken relationships can never be measured. Instead, choose to live in freedom and love.

My wake-up call was illness. Through the process of healing I learned that I had to forgive - first myself and then others. Once I forgave everyone my body and heart healed. In hindsight I realized how none of my perceived hurts mattered at all. Now that I live through the eyes of love, I can accept each person as a wonderful human being who is just as special as I am. I wish this for you, for it is the only way to live your life that makes sense and creates for you what you truly want and deserve to have - a life that is happy, invigorating, abundant, and full of love!

They’re cute, they’re cuddly and they can be furry. Sometimes they walk on four legs, sometimes on two. They have funny names. They’re pets. And they are great to have around. And while they are great to have in general, they are even better when you suffer from depression.

Pets are able to provide comfort and unconditional love. They are cute and it can be fun to just watch them play, or to play with them. Especially if you have kids, pets are great to have around. Dogs, cats, birds, even small animals, are a lot of fun to have around. They also give you focus points that will take your mind off of other things. More importantly, it prevents you from feeling as alone. Instead of coming home to an empty house, the house will have activity in it when you arrive. If you have a dog, you will have something to run up to you when you come home. It also gives you something to take care of, a way to have something that you can love no matter what.

Because pets are widely available and there are many different types to choose from, you should think about how much space you have and what kinds of pets you have had in the past. If it is your first pet, or you need a pet that will not miss you if you are home late, then a pocket pet (gerbil, hamster or mouse - yes, I said mouse. They are very cute and quite good pets) would probably fit in better.

Natural Cures for Depression - Do They Exist or Not?

Most people suffering from bouts of depression, anxiety and general mood disorders that greatly affect their quality of life don’t even know that they have non-prescription options to treat their depression effectively.

Instead, most people will either “bite the bullet” through the rough times, or they will seek the advice of a professional such as a phychiatrist or psychologist, and perhaps go through counseling, or be put on a prescription antidepressant such as Zoloft or Prozac. Did you know that antidepressants are currently the third leading classification of prescription drugs by overall revenue and profitability?

This tells us one thing for sure. Depression is very widespread, very common, and perhaps even overprescribed, some critics might say.

The news about some very popular prescribed medicines for clinical depression is alarming, to say the least. Side effects ranging from nervousness to nausea and sexual dysfunction or low libido are just a few.

This fact has lead many people suffering from this sometimes crippling mental health condition to consider alternative cures for depression - they are going natural. This is not to say the natural way to remedy the symptoms of depression is for everyone.

There are a lot of people who can still benefit from prescription meds, and never have any problems. Not only that, many people also benefit from the therapy that goes with the prescription, ie the talking through of their problems, their perception of their mental condition and so on and so forth.

However, there are a great deal out there who also can benefit from treating their depression with a natural cure. People who usually benefit the greatest are not the ones who may normally be diagnosed with having “chronic” clinical depression.

They are the people who have the occasional bout of the blues, and feelings of helplessness coupled with anxiety. If that’s you, you would most likely be an excellent candidate for natural depression treatment.

What is Depression? How is it Defined?

Depression is usually defined as a psychiatric disorder characterized by an inability to concentrate, insomnia, loss of appetite, feelings of extreme sadness, guilt, helplessness and hopelessness, and thoughts of death as a final means of peace and tranquility. While most people do suffer occasional down time, some people are more prone to feel this way consistently, and they are the ones who should seek professional help.

For the countless others, a natural way can be the best choice for the best results in fighting depression and regaining a sense of joy and peace.

Depersonalisation is a lesser known mental condition that can be very disturbing and unpleasant for the sufferer. It is a depressive disorder, which is usually brought on by a stressful event or situation.

As well as depression, the main symptoms are difficult to describe. It is a feeling of unrealness, of not being really “alive” or in full conciousness. Being out of oneself or lost. Thought and access to memory is slowed. Speech can be affected as words are harder to access. Emotions are felt much less and do not feel important. Sometimes there is numbness to the fingers and other symptoms. It can feel worse under fluorescent lighting. It is advisable to see your doctor to check this diagnosis.

The feelings can last for just a few minutes, reoccur, or remain continually for a long period. The sufferer should of course get out of the stressful situation if at all possible. However, this may not, in itself, cure the condition. It would seem that the brain is reacting to the stress by putting itself into a “safe mode”. However, it then can get confined in this condition.

Altogether it can be quite debilitating, but it a big problem when it comes to making others know how you feel. The sufferer is often told how well they look!

Treatment is often by way of anti-depressant tablets. This can alliviate the symptoms but seldom cure the problem. If you have this condition it is easy to become self-obsessed with the problem. As this will cause more stress it is best to live as normally as possible and to try not to think about it.
