Overcome Your Depression

People who've never experienced deep depression cannot truly understand what happens to those who feel this way. More often than not, they'll offer superficial solutions to a problem they can't imagine, because they simply don't know!

What's worse is that psychiatrists and other specialists in the field don't understand what happens with them either. Depressed people can't find a cure! Depression is a very common disease that usually cannot be completely cured.

There are many different manifestations of depression, and some of them destroy the victim's conscience. This very serious disease must be thwarted early; it must disappear before the human conscience is destroyed. Since depression is a common behavioural disease in our civilization, we need to combat it with caution, putting an end to its destructive action before it is too late.

Depression has a purpose! It reflects the horrors through which one passes in their life; like a wound that festers, preventing one from achieving happiness again. It is a logical disease, if one considers the hell in which they live and search for happiness.

This is a terrible place; where everyone fears their own neighbour. War, misery, immorality, cruelty, violence, terrorism and other horrors characterize this planet, where we fear everything and everyone. Depression is but a consequence of this horrible world, where happiness is just another illusion.

When Portuguese colonizers enslaved the natives of Brazil to force them to work the lands, the natives became so depressed that they eventually died! These free and peaceful people couldn't bear to live like slaves. Their sadness killed them. The Portuguese began importing slaves from Africa to Brazil because Africans were more resistant to their vandalism... never in human history was slavery as terrible as it was in Brazil, under the cruelty of Portuguese colonizers! This was one of the most barbarous slaveries in the world!

So, what conclusion can we draw? The Brazilian natives were a peaceful, happy and free people. They loved to laugh, play, hunt, work and dance. When cruel Portuguese invaders enslaved them and forced them to work without interruption, the natives simply gave up and died of sadness...

They were sensitive. They were unlike the Africans, who were wild warriors, able to bear unbearable suffering.

We can therefore conclude that the more sensitive one is, the more they seem to suffer from the horrors they experience; the more depressed they become. This observation reveals the reason why some are weak enough to succumb to the campaign of depression, while others can to bear it, even if it's an unbearable feeling.

The solution to the problem of depression stems from the environment one resides in. If one lives or feels like a slave, we can easily see why they get depressed. That's exactly what happens in our world, where most must work more than 10 hours a day for a wage that is insufficient to provide them with a decent life. They have no hope for a better life. They aren't exactly slaves, but then again... aren't they?

We must change the world if we want a healthy population! We can't discover a cure for depression if we're stuck living in hell; a hell where we feel and work like slaves... and where we are treated like such by society.

On the other hand, change takes time. We can't all die just because we can't bear depression. So, that means we need to be resistant. We have to bear the unbearable until we come into a better situation. We have to be heroes!

We need to accept the suffering in our lives with sadness, but work to change the situation; to create hope for a better life in the future, when everything will be much better.

That means that depressed people are right, because they are depressed; but even if they are right, they need to be resistant to help this world become a place to live in peace; with the needed conditions to be happy. They can't let depression destroy their lives, or their human conscience. They need to fight against this disease, with courage.

Sometimes, even courage can't help. There are many chemical factors capable of affecting its victims, unable to fight against it. Depression gets worse as it continues to beat down on more and more generations. It's almost becoming a way of life, through a gradual death that destroys the whole of society, not only the affected individual.

It favours the development of various types of serious psychical diseases; like tedium, that cannot be cured. Things will get even worse unless we change the way we live. We can only expect more disease and difficulties on our path.

If we wish to put an end to depression, we need to be realists. There's no sense in trying to make slaves feel happy while keeping them shackled. They'll never be happy until they've regained their freedom, decent living conditions and whatever else they need in life.

Since this is not immediately possible, we must be resilient. There is much to do before this crazy world changes. It takes time to improve things for everyone. We might be saddened by suffering, but we must also be strong; resilient against attack and courageous against despair. It's the only way to fight depression, or any other psychical disease.

Another thing to consider is that we don't just live to be happy, much as we'd like to. We live to pass through a psychical transformation, where suffering works, not only as punishment, but as medicine for our souls. We need to learn to accept suffering when necessary. We can't expect to live our whole lives in laughter, without encountering sadness on our journey. We are not perfect... and our world can sometimes be hell, camouflaged in hypocrisy.

We need to learn how to suffer like heroes, for justice and for peace. Accepting to suffer means that one doesn't just up and declare war if unjustly treated, nor kill to obtain what they want.

We need to change our attitude... and our world. These are the only possible solutions for depressed people, and for our depressed society.

However, until these miracles happen, we must be resilient and face depression with courage. Though it can seem invincible, psychical disease has a limited life span when met with resistance. At some point, the attacks just stop because they can't overcome our resistance. In this way, we can overcome depression and other psychical disturbances, as I've observed in fighting against schizophrenia, depression and strong suicidal tendency.

I'm not the only one to have succeeded in overcoming seemingly invincible diseases thanks to my resistance. I'm not revealing anything new. This is a very old technique that many others used in the past, for many reasons.

Resistance is a powerful medicine from ancient times in our history; but we still haven't been able to evaluate its potency.

During my studies, I came across Carl Jung's method of deciphering dreams, which helped me and urged me to continue his research into the unknown regions of our psychical sphere. I set my poetry aside and began to compile my findings. I sought to prove that Jung had discovered the proper method of interpretation of dreams. This exercise actually taught me many things, and I continued to pursue Jung's research into the analysis of dreams.
