Breaking Through Depression: Give Yourself Credit
Sometimes when we are feeling depressed, we only tend to focus on the bad things or what went wrong. For instance, say the first half of your day went brilliantly, you got the things you wanted to do done and you went for a super walk. But when the second half of your day comes, the only thing you can do is go back to bed and do nothing. You will only focus on the second part of the day that did not go well and disregard the first part of the day that did go well. Another example, the majority of your day goes very well, you do positive things and talk to lots of people. But then someone says something which annoys or upsets you. So you only focus on that tiny bit that went wrong and ignore the rest of the day that went brilliantly.

Ways to Deal with Anxiety and Depression
Here are some ways to deal with anxiety and depression. 1. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone you trust. Some people with anxiety or depression are afraid to talk about the feelings and thoughts they are having. Because they have bad thoughts they may think that they are bad people. Bottling these thoughts up will become too much. These thoughts are normal. Do not fight them. Accept them. They will not go away but with time they will fade. Good people who have bad thoughts are disturbed by them but are unlikely to act on them. Bad people who have bad thoughts are not ashamed of them and are likely to act on them. Remember the difference. If you do not feel you are ready to talk, don’t feel pressured to. You may find that by telling lots of people, it is on your mind. Do what you feel is best.
