Depression and its layers.

As of late, I have been in this funk; I feel like I am stuck in the underworld.  I keep telling myself, "Just do it" get up and move on.  Yeah, I am depressed and you know what?  It's okay to share it and there's no shame in it. Like many others in the world, I have been through some SHIT in my life.  This time around, I am lost in thoughts of negativity.  It's exhausting and frustrating.  Sometimes, I get to a point where I feel nervous, scared, and  I want to freak out.  I keep telling myself, to take it one day at a time.  I try hard to rationalize.  I also keep telling myself, I am in control of me.  I have the power to push kick myself out of this FUNK. I realize what my problem is, in essence I am not feeding my soul what it needs!!!!  My "Seven Dimensions of Wellness" are all out of whack right now. Point is that I know what I have to do, I have to force myself to start LIVING again.  At this point I am just existing.  At any rate, I am going to quote this article from Scientific American (I will post the link as well) "depression is nature’s way of telling you that you’ve got complex social problems that the mind is intent on solving." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/depressions-evolutionary/
Don't be ashamed of saying you are depressed, it's part of being human.  However, how we decide to fight depression is another story. Make a healthy decision.  Here's another article that gives healthier options of push kicking yourself out of "The Funk", http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/compassion-matters/201110/eight-ways-actively-fight-depression I also want to point out, there's nothing wrong with taking anti-depressants, just do it responsibly and understand that it does not cure the underlying problems causing the depression. 

Live and Love Fiercely!
