First of all, in dealing with depression, never ever fall for the idea that there is something wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. In fact if you’re healthy, if you’re sane, if you’re intelligent l, then too many things in this world should seem all too disturbing to just remain obviously blindly happy as an idiot. Yes stupid people are most easily happy. Bless them.

There is no use in beating on your emotions and psyche by staying down with soaking in all what’s wrong with this or that, nevermind that eventually it would dissolve you totally.

Usually without realising it, most of us keep discrediting and devaluing the feelings of each other and each others problems. And we have a new illness that causes people to block each others processing of issues, by shutting them up with saying something like stop complaining, instead of being there for one another, ~ basically instead of being fearless of the idlssues of others, people react as if listening and being of loving understanding would ever put them at risk. What the real matter with those is, is that they have issues of their own that they push asside and deny, instead of working them out, so that’s why they become so reactive, as if they have an allergy.

Never advise, unless you’re asked to do so. Uninvited advise is really not so different from criticism. Never judge or critisize. Unless of course, if you’re asked to. …that as well, does happen.

What makes depression seem so hard to deal with, is that gradually more and more, everything in the world seems to just remind you of whatever things and thoughts that generate the feelings which get in the way of your life energy, your motivation, your happiness and joy.

But, it is also a matter of focus, that has brought us into this.

And it is not axactly the same feeling mindset that got us into it, we should use to get out of it. Rather more the opposite.

For example, when something happens to, for whatever reason, absorb you enough, then as you go about life, it’s as if you almost everywhere, keep noticing this very thing you got absorb in. It feels as if it wasn’t there in such a multitude  before, but only because, all though you feel as if you would notice it if it was there, you didn’t actually notice it, and it was actually there the whole time.

So like this we begin to see, that with a sertain mindset we have accumulated things into a pile of focus, which eventually becomes habitual patterns, which is sort of just going in circles, and kind of activating itself by now, picking up on the same themes of things, which then in turn keeps you down about all the same similar factors. And as it goes in circles, it’s reinforcing the patterns, and we get addicted to the chemicals that those bad feelings produce, which is why we tend to feel stuck.

All our feelings produce chemicals within the body, which if we keep producing those same chemicals enough, it truly does become an  addiction, as for example seen with what we would call an anger disease.  Whatever feelings repeated, they become habit, and that habit causes the addictions to those chemicals.

It took time to get “stuck down there” in depression, so it will also take time to get unstuck, and then some time to get up, and then some more time to stay up.

But obviously, if we can get ourselves into this, then we can also get ourselves out of this.

We didn’t do it on purpose really. We didn’t get ourselves into this because we wanted to be miserable. We just felt miserable, and didn’t know in time that we could start reversing it at own will.

So this time around, now we will purposely make our way out of it. On purpose we will shed this issue, gradually but surely.

First thing we do, is admit that if we were not of a sensitive kind, we wouldn’t have gotten into this.
And by that we know that we best not tolerate ass holes within our lives, and so we get rid of that, together with some other factors and things that don’t do us good. For now we are aware that we are too sensitive to waste our feelings, our precious time on feeling bad. So we eliminate such factors. Step by step, moment by moment, till that becomes the habit. Gradually but surely, No more crap.

Once a love story has turned to tears, you better cut your bonds with it, because the thoughts that keep the longing going, for the one that walked away, is made of insufficient personal growth and a lack of selflove.

We become friends with the problem, with our depression, as we accept all the reasons, and then even start to appreciate them for showing us, for making things more clear, for example sometimes even clarifying what we truly feel, and/or what we must change, and what we rather want to choose, and so on.

A thing to Flash on is, that there are so many different angles/views/sides to everything, so you can always find good within the bad, and bad in the good, there’s always a dark side and a l bright side if you will.
So a big part of what we will, is start to practice and become even better at catching ourselves in the process of all what has been keeps us down. And we look for the bright side in everything, in every thought, in every ugly feeling thing. And when we can’t seem to find any bright side in something, then we skip it and take the next coming thing, and so on and on, we’ll be getting better and better at it, till the process becomes habit, and then eventually it becomes pretty automatic.

So now we have …

* knowing that our depression is rather more of a confirmation of sanity and sensitivity than anything else.

* and from that, now also knowing that if we pay attention and listen to it, then it guides us through the layers of the process, and all the way to the root cause.

*so we FEEL APPRECIATION for all the bad feeling stuff as we get to …

* the elimination of it all, of all the bad people and all other bad influences from our environment.

* catching ourselves in our feeling states and though perspectives.

And now let’s add the knowledge of food habits, which we will adjust as well.

We have to cut out some Carbohydrates, especially those empty ones, such as white bread, and the toxic ones such as sugar, or even fructose and all artificial sweetwners. One is worse than the other. The only good sugars, some even nutritious sugars are,
* raw honey,
* coconut blossom sugar,
* pure stevia, and perhaps * acerola as well.

We have a to avoid pesticides, so either wash fruits and veggies very very very good, preferably with soda powder in a tub of water for soaking the veggies before you then rince them thoroughly. What’s alot easier (but more costly), is to buy everything from the organic shop, and then just wash it normally.

If we love white bread we can buy or bake the white Spelt-flour bread, as it tastes exactly the same as regular white flour, but is not heavy on our system. Instead it’s easier digestible, and not nearly as full of empty carbohydrates. …what makes it perfect for all sorts, even crepes.

We will also give everything a good boost for the better, if we take some weeks of consuming 1-2 freshly squeezed lemons (with water) daily. This will both cleanse and oxygenate the body, but as well alkalise.

And let’s get everything flowing more freely in general, by also drinking about 2 litres of goo/clean water every day.
