We would agree that a lot of times you don’t even know how you got depressed and you may find it hard to prevent it even with all you do. You could lose someone anytime or get heartbroken or something else could happen. This is for anyone who is interested in being better, some people just want the attention and so they stay depressed.
If you want to be better here’s a list of 4 things to do.
1. Talk to someone

The easiest and most underrated thing that you can do is to talk to someone, it seems normal but then letting people know what you are going through makes you feel less alone. It gives them the opportunity to be there for you. Also talking to someone opens you up to know that they may be in the same boat with you, the feeling of being alone would automatically be ruled out and as time goes they will keep trying to help. Talk to people they may just have the solution.
2. Get medical treatment

3. Avoid being alone
Being alone is bad for a depressed person that means you have time to go over all the issues and why you should end it, you don’t get better by being alone, you just want to cry and wallow in the pain. Being alone too much naturally causes depression, and so if you find out you are depressed you should, by all means, avoid being alone. Be with people, talk, and play and do things that take your mind off the worries.
4. Train yourself to go back to who you were

One major thing that happens when you are depressed is that you no longer want to do the things you used to do or be who you were. We are what we do, and changing that isn’t good for us. If you want to get better you need to be deliberate, you need to carefully bring yourself to the former better version. When a system is malfunctioning they fix it most times by taking back to where it was before, that is restarting it. You need to do that, carefully gradually go back to who you were, before the sadness and see how much better you get.
Start by doing the things you used to do, start small and climb your way up, learn to love what you used to love before, everything is learned. Learn to be happy again.
The only way you can successfully do anything is to be deliberate about it, make the decision, draw a plane and follow it.
