Doesn't life always ask us to be strong and alone? Sometimes we really aren't sure where the future will lead us.
Hey, hello friend!
There are actually many different types of depression, so how can you tell if you're actually in a state of depression?
Whatever your current dilemma is and why you're feeling so torn up, try to relax emotionally first and find a little corner that puts you at ease.
Everything will get better in the end.
The world is ever-changing, and as Joseph Goldstein said, "Wisdom is to see that all things are transient and perishable, and to understand that no matter what happens, the phenomena will always disappear. When we truly understand this impermanence, we stop being so attached, let go of attachment, and suffering naturally comes to an end."
Just focus on today.
Come back to this immediate moment and remind yourself not to worry about what's going to happen in a month or ten years and force yourself to focus on the present.
I'll get through this.
When fear, panic, pain, or uncertainty strikes, cheer yourself up by saying, "I'll be okay".
I'm exhaling slowly.
When negative emotions arise, whisper to yourself, "Breathe out, I'm breathing in," and use positive breathing to bridge your body and mind and calm your heart.
Ms. Tiffany Chang once reminded us, "Honey, there's no one else out there but you."
