Five best ways to come out of depression

First of all take this misconception out of your mind that 'Depression' is a mental condition! It is not a disease, so stop treating it as a disease or mental disorder. It is just a simple state of mood under which a person feels low and gets aloof from all outside activities, effecting their behavior, feelings, emotions etc. It becomes so devastating to understand the trauma one goes through. If you think you can understand a person with depression, and then you are absolutely wrong, no one can understand the pain, trauma or agony that they go through. It is a great deal of effort for them to start all over again and think positive. We must help them to come out of it, friends, family and loved ones are the most needed source of emotional support that they need. And if you feeling like going up yourself, then gear up and follow these steps to start afresh:Take one-step at a time!There is no rush, no one is pushing you in or out of it, so take your time. Prior to your depression state your life pace was different and know it is different therefore, the positive-progress pace will also take its own course and speed. So have patience, you'll do just great! Start with a small exercise, get up and see yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning and smile, do this for two weeks. In your third week start smiling when you see your friends, and family; do this for another two weeks. After four weeks of this exercise, start smiling for strangers and see how they smile back! That's it! And while reading this if you already started smiling then just continue with it!Get engaged!I don't mean like reading novels or playing outdoor games or long walks, and definitely not getting engaged like a marriage or something. Just plan to do something different, like learn pottery, or be a social-volunteer. Get to know people better, start talking. Move out and just let yourself be feeling different. Keep a check on yourself!Start writing a dairy every-night! Even if you just did nothing but lay back at home. It would feel very annoying at first, but then after a week or so in writing, get back and read the first page you wrote... Yeah! Now you will see the difference in you and its only you who truly understand the vast change that just happened in there! If you don't feel like writing, then just record your voice at the end of the day and store it! In a week you could hear and access the change in your voice pattern and the level of confidence that just got more boosted!B+veOk... this you might have heard zillion of times... So here it is zillionth and one time! Just stay out of negative thoughts. Imbibe yourself with positive things. Here goes another small exercise, For a week, try and speak out only single positive words, like Good, Great, Fine, Better etc and nothing else not even full sentences! In you second week, try single positive sentences, and trust me from your week you will the change yourself!
