So those of bạn who suffer / suffered from depression...

Well, when I don't have the motivation, it is quite hard to get me to do anything even if I would like to myself. My efficiency in general drops too. Whatever the task might be, I'll most likely end up half-baking it as I won't be seeing the point to get any further hoặc just because I decided to settle with moderation and get it over with quickly. As long as the job gets done, I couldn't care less about how the results seem hoặc the comparison with others.

I mainly used to be like that a few years cách đây where my Depression was at its peak. Honestly, I would say that the right push is needed. It'll be good to have the sort of people close to bạn that they can inspire bạn and can help sort things inside yourself. Getting to know that there are those who care and have placed their trust on you. When you're being entrusted with hope, it is your ''responsibility'' to respond in kind. thêm like that I owe it to them regardless if I really have to hoặc not. I am that kind of person myself.
Other than that, I try to find motivation of my own through many of my interests. The right âm nhạc to listen at the moment for example can go a long way. Same bởi reminiscing about the past and recalling the desire to not let certain events occur again hoặc going through a certain Story whether it is a real life hoặc fictional one. The kind of situation, characters, matters being touched in them and outcomes could provide a decent amount of inspiration. Honestly, depending on the case, it is many times that I bring yêu thích Characters of mine in mind. Those that I deeply respect and admire as individuals. How would they deal with the situation and what they would they expect of me. Regardless of how it may sound, this could get me going on making the necessary start and taking it from there. That being said, bạn could always disregard everything mentioned above and just get outside for a little while. Look at your surroundings, take a breath and chill in overall. Think about things for a bit and weight them down. Personally, the closer to Nature I find myself, the clearer my mind gets and I feel better prepared to face what's about to come.

In the end, there are various ways for a person to get motivated. The câu hỏi is whether you'll be motivated enough to go through them as well XD Improving one's mood is a major factor !!!!

I don't exactly remember how I got out of my depression. For me, the best way to help myself feel better is to cry it out when I really need to and to do that, I listen to a sad song to help me cry. Then I feel I bit better after letting it all out. I just do whatever depending on my mood. When I'm sad, I listen to sad music. When angry, I listen to rock songs. And they actually help me feel better. Then I can get up and about to do anything energetic. So take my strategy and try that out. Just listen t your emotions and do what bạn feel. If bạn need to cry, do whatever makes bạn cry so bạn can cry it out. If you're angry, do something to get your anger out. Just release it out and I guarantee bạn might feel better. And this goes for anybody who's got the depression inside them and don't want it anymore

i started getting bio polar depression in the seventh grade.
my school days was cruel.
i did make a few friends.
but i would try and cut myself.
but failed.
good thing i'm still alive and kicking!

Honestly I just kind of do it. Like I just force myself to do it. I complain the whole time, but I do it. It's one of those things where I kind of just did things and went to places not expecting much but hoping that something would trigger a better frame of mind hoặc at the very least provide a distraction. Evidently it was the little things that did it *CoughsWithinTemptationCoughs*

âm nhạc and ngày dreaming help tho.

I'm not sure anymore. I'm struggling quite bad lately. My only peace is when I'm able to talk to my partner.

Certain YouTube videos, going to counseling twice a month, and talking to people that care about me. A lotta other things too.

Then, if that works, I reward myself with an energy drink to keep the game going.

I'm honestly kinda used to it now. Sometimes when school's in session and I have an overhwhelming work load, it's especially hard for me to get out of bed.
I just want to say that if it gets to that point, it's important to contact someone. I know that's scary, and iffy, but when it gets to the point in which it's SERIOUSLY crippling your day-to-day function, bạn need to speak up for yourself to someone who can REALLY help you.

For me personally, I just remind myself it's temporary. That doesn't necessarily work for others, I know. I don't know if this makes sense, but my inability to get things done is often paired with anxiety, and it comforts me when I remind myself I'm not going to stop existing if I mess up. I will stay grounded where I am, no matter what happens, no matter what consequence of being behind. I have myself, that's all I can offer in my moments of weakness.

Also, coffee and âm nhạc are like my saving grace for days when it's not necessarily "I can't get out of bed" but thêm like "I don't know how to do anything" because when paired together, for me personally, they kinda act as an artificial manic episode. :P

umn..I m not sure. I never suffered from full fledged depression but I had few periods of extreme stress. From what I have seen, depression is multi-dimensional. There are many factors which can trigger it. Its important to recognize those key factors and work on them one bởi one. Its not like bạn will take one giant magical leap and boom its gone, people should start small when dealing with it like spending time with loved ones and having a routine. Routine is important because it gives structure to your life, only then bạn can set a goal and work towards it.

Even after all this people often find it difficult to be kind to themselves, maybe cuz we think we dont deserve it. So yeah....having some self respect, starting small improvements and taking responsibility for your life gives bạn at least little motivation to work towards your goal.

I hope this helps bạn ^^
