Hi dudes and dudettes!
This lovely post of mine that's written from a depth of my heart is geared towards our forum newbies and guys who are still looking for a silver bullet to headshot that ugly depression.
I have been battling depression for two years. It had been my toughest battle to date. It almost took my life (I say 'it', because when you're really depressed it feels like some kind of devil has squeezed into your spirit and makes you act in destructive ways).
Tears, multiple failures and sweat aside I found a silver bullet. A silver bullet that I have always overlooked and ignored. Why? Because it sounded too simple to be effective and I was looking for a complex solution to my seemingly complex problem. I was convinced simple solution isn't gonna do the trick to solve my complex problem...
...until I exhausted most of my inventory and was left with the last toy in my sandbox. The very same silver bullet I came across almost two years ago...however I was too blind to see it back then and it seemed just a regular bullet. That silver bullet my friends was 'ACTION'.
I took my first solid step of action this January. And guess what? My depression crawled back to its darkest corners. I made only one simple choice - to take regular action. If I felt bad, did I stop? No damn way! I took even more action. Result? In only one and a half month I accomplished more than I did in previous entire two years and my depression is literally gone.
At first it felt weird, how come it disappeared so quickly. I thought it will come back, and it slowly did when I pressed breaks on my progress. As soon as I hit gas again depression disappeared once again. It's kind of I have two choices:
1) Take no action and be depressed and live without a purpose...
2) Take constant action to beat depression and live with a purpose!
I will finish my babble here and now, I could go on and on, but don't want to waste your precious time...
Do you feel anxious? You know why? Because you have too much free time amigo!
Do you feel depressed? You know why? Yep, you're right - because you have too much free time!
So, stop reading self-help books, stop lurking forums looking for answer and don't rely on professional help (unless your condition is critical) - the answer is within you and a very simple one - take action, not tomorrow, not next week, NOW! TAKE DAMN ACTION NOW!
Thanks for reading through and best of luck!
P.S. I am ready to help everyone who is battling depression. Instead of walking in shadows, shoot me a message and I'll do my best to grab you out into the daylight!
Best wishes all!
