Coping with Depression and How You Can Have Victory Over It

Coping with Depression

Coping with depression is possible. There is nothing more life diminishing than suffering from depression and not have any hope of recovery. We are going to change all that. God did not send you here to suffer with no way out. If your depression is a medically caused condition, there are drugs that can help. If your condition is an environmental condition from experiences in your past, there are therapies that can help. Whatever the cause, we can remove it and you can recover, guaranteed.

Welcome to our website and thank you for visiting us. We believe very strongly that every condition of depression or anxiety is curable and God has an answer for your particular situation, no ifs, maybes, or buts. Conquering the depression is as easy as understanding it. You do not have to cope with it or just tolerate it any longer; we will get rid of it all together. Nobody comes into this world with the dead end destiny of suffering endlessly without reason. God sent us here to grow, to learn, and by doing that to serve. What we mean by that is every experience has a lesson from which we are to learn. Once we learn the lesson, life will advance us on to the next setting where we will either teach others something, or learn another lesson ourselves. Your happiness is a naturally occurring condition, not something that may happen but will happen. Anything that gets in its way is an artificial barrier, and we can identify and remove it. If we assess your situation correctly, we can kill it, and succeed we will.

Depression, like its sister condition anxiety can be caused by several factors. If we understand our past medical and emotional footprint, and ourselves, we can adjust our lives with either medication or therapy to allow full recovery. To understand our depression and our anxiety is to understand ourselves. Depression and anxiety can have different causes, or they can be sister conditions of the same cause. To cope with our depression we will look at your personality. We need to know what your world view is. Some personalities may suffer from both emotional conditions, while other personalities may suffer only from one. They can be different sides of the same coin, or they can be separate entirely.

The first step is to begin at the very beginning. We are going to tell you how you may help yourself without any help from anyone else. The reason we are going to do that is that we care about you and if you can heal yourself without any doctors or therapists, then the feather can go in your cap, which is where it belongs, right? Coping with your depression means getting rid of it altogether, and if you can do it alone, that is better yet.

We do not want you to become addicted to some expensive designer drug, or to become some unethical therapist’s lifelong meal ticket. We have a book on recovery from emotional abuse and other titles for sale, if they fit your needs, but if we can help you to recover without buying it that is fine with us. The fact of the matter is, maybe like you, we have become alarmed at the lack of humanitarian concern in all aspects of the business community, and that includes the therapeutic community as well. It would be a feather in our cap if we could keep you out of the talons of the credentialed therapist crowd and the designer drug crowd until we first try a few things ourselves. Because you or your loved one may be suffering, we would like you to try our advice first, since it is free. The truth is doctors get commissions off these designer drugs they prescribe. If a naturally occurring substance like tea or carrot juice were to work as well, they would have no vested interest in prescribing it, since there is no way to make commissions off of a freely obtainable vegetable commodity in a grocery store. Moreover, they would have a stake in keeping such knowledge to themselves, since it threatens their livelihood. Not all therapists or doctors are predatory, but they may have an interest to protect, overtly or subconsciously.

We sell a book or books, and our interest is in the spreading of knowledge. We have no degrees, only life experience. Furthermore, we have overcome the conditions of extreme depression and severe anxiety of which we talk. We have entered into the belly of the beast and we have overcome, and so can you. We did not come from happy emotionally nurturing homes and read about these conditions in a college classroom for the first time as adults. We know our answers work because they worked for us because we worked them. You or your loved one can do the same.We want you to cope with your depression by overcoming it entirely and the first two steps are the weapons of choice. These two steps will make the enemy vulnerable to what we do after that. Each thing you will need to do will be right here in this site, as well as in our book.

Okay, now back to the beginning where we promised to start with you. The first thing you will need to do in coping with your emotions is begin with feeling your feelings, period. Coping with depression is on the emotional level and in our emotions is where the construction of our new lives will take place. Depression or anxiety, it does not matter. Depression and anxiety are extremes of your emotions and until you can get in touch with your specific emotions and your specific feelings and everything about them, you will be unable to heal anything. Coping with depression means at first getting in touch with those feelings, step number one. You must go back and become intimately familiar with your entire emotionality since you were born. That is the beginning, since in the realm of your emotional life is where your answers lie. We must look at your current emotional activity in your daily life today, and we must look at your emotional history as you developed as a child.

The current emotional activity will tell us something as to how you relate to your world around you today. Your emotional history will tell us when the condition begin, and what will be causing it currently. Between these two perspectives, we can locate the answer for which we seek. This is not necessarily going to be an easy solution to implement, but it will be a good solid foundation from which to begin. As we say in therapy, ‘the only way out is through.’ Coping with depression means, you must go straight through the entire emotional dimension of yourself.

The first step is to get in touch with all your feelings and yes, the suffering along with it. You cannot cope with depression or anything else by avoiding it, for that only empowers it to control you, which it presently does. Facing your emotions you may have already done and it will come quickly, or you may have been stuffing your emotions and it may take a while. After you have begun to wade into yourself, we will go to step two. Coping with depression’s next step is to find someone with which to share it. We all need another to listen to our sufferings, and mirror back to us our feelings to validate them. This we do in what we know as ‘The Primal Scene,’ in which our parent mirrors back to us the feelings we show to them as babies. This dynamic is what nurtures us as infants and empowers us as adults. If anything gets in the way of our experiencing this as babies, we will short circuit our emotional empowerment as adults. That is just the beginning of the damage that occurs, as we misdirect all kinds of emotional energies into places that we do not want it to go. If you had a diminished experience of a primal scene as a child, that will explain why you do not have a sense of power in coping with depression today. If you do not associate a sympathetic face with any distress you experience, then your coping with depressing events will be much harder to do. We will show you how to add the missing ingredient to your emotional inventory.

Unhealthy perceptions of life will develop when these emotions go into storage in our psyches for long periods. As these emotions store up, unprocessed, in our minds, they can then cause our brains to get medically out of balance and need drugs to balance out again. We will write on this subject more, in this section of Depression. For right now, you have a place to start to find your answers as you do these first two steps. Begin here and start to reflect back on your emotional past, and begin to quantify your emotional life in the present day as well. Embracing these two dimensions of your emotional side is critical to our next step, which we will add right here. Please RSS this site and this page and we will add more soon. For right now, you have you work cut out for you as you begin healing from depression and anxiety. The next steps in coping with our depression will have to do with understanding how emotions change our thinking. That is where our lives start changing for the worse. Pockets of emotion create pockets of blindness, did you know that? To move on from here we will talk about how our unprocessed emotions also make us feel powerless as well. More on all of this in our book and in the pages below.

For help with addressing any of life’s obstacles as we travel on our Soul’s Journey, please consider our first in series book Overcoming Depression from Emotional Abuse/The Tools of Your Mind. right below. If emotional abuse in your past and low self-esteem are contributing to your depression or anxiety in any way, this will be the ultimate book for you. It shares how we can resolve all of the obstacles in our Soul’s Journey as we come back home to our Original Self. In the book, we talk about God's real intent behind our emotional trauma. Moreover, we talk about what we find in others, and in our world around us, is just a reflection of ourselves.

We answer many questions about selfishness, prosperity, psychotherapy, and finding our dreams and happiness. We share much about boundaries. We also talk about the spiritual controls we have within to bring our good to us. Those controls are our Sincerity Switch, Spontaneity Switch, and lastly our Feelings and Dreams Switch.

There was a reason for us to experience shame and guilt, and that was to teach us a good thing. “What we are searching for is The One who is Looking.”

God bless you as you begin your new life today. We would love to hear from you. Please tell us how you are doing in your search for answers, and to share your trials and victories with us! We promise to personally answer every Email we receive.
