Going from "Depressed" to a "Deep rest"...

                                      

Once in a while, we often stumble upon an unwelcomed visitor: he is quite unpleasant, mentally irritating, and thought-blocking in a way words can't clearly describe.
I'm talking about the common cold of psychiatric conditions: "Depression" which is not just a simple mental health issue or a mood disorder but a true medical illness. 
Having gone through it several times, I might say that it is a  mental disease that can dwell on you more than any other physical one.
I don't want to spend more time describing It. Let's try to decode what depression ultimately wants us to know about ourselves. Just like any other type of illness, depression is a reaction, a reaction manifested by your nervous system. It's like your mind is trying to tell you:
 "Hold on my friend, there's something wrong! I can't feel the harmony between your reality and your expectations !! A serious talk between us must be done!
Indeed, depression, at its core, depicts the fact that you've suddenly diverged from the right path.
Your goal is somehow becoming out of reach. 
To be clear, depression does not revolve around failing an exam or maybe losing a competition: that will trigger "sadness instead".
I'm talking about losing the sense of being alive, once you're there, nothing really matters anymore! Maybe you've lost someone close to you that was correlated with your state of "being happy".
Maybe you've made a life-changing decision that somehow turned out to be "false" or "inadequate".

Now, let's move on to a step-by-step possible guide to help you get through depression:

1) Opt for a deep rest, a deep rest from painful and time-wasting thinking. Instead, try to figure out your number one goal in life, which encourages you every single day to wake up in the morning. Embrace It and define it well !! 

2)Write down your current problems and how they are misleading you from your goal.

3)Acknowledge the possible consequences of being depressed in your life: depression can be the harbinger of several other diseases!

4)Don’t hesitate to talk about It with someone close to you. Talking is a relief!

5)Quit social media for a short period, and stop going through the Facebook news feed which can create a feeling of a certain ‘false inferiority”.

6)Make a revolutionary decision to start changing your life! I’m not talking just about self-motivation, not just words, but actions!!!!

7)Try to fill your time as possible as you can :
Make a daily plan.
Do sports. 
Read more books. 
Learn new hobbies.
Meditate.

8) If none of the above-stated steps worked, consider going to a therapist. As I've said in the beginning: Depression is a disease like any other.

My final thoughts for anyone who's currently in depression:
Put your trust in God
I’m sure you will get through this. 
It’s a passing wave.
