If depression is a state of mind, what state of mind will help to make me feel happier?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: happiness....

smile in the mirror til you hate yourself for smiling then laugh out loud that you got mad at yourself for smiling....

then relax...rest......be joyful

check your diet also...you are what you eat.

never forget you have choice over everything...IT IS A MATTER OF PERCEPTION.

If you are lacking an example or role model of how to get well....talk to someone who can help...then choose to be whole.

You have heart and soul...I see it in your answers...so I'm rooting for you...be gentle on yourself........

you are ok just how you are.

Getting to a certain state of mind can be quick in minds that are balanced, however it may also just a superficial interpretation for them to dabble with...before easily returning to equilibrium.

The mind set of depression if it is truly a mind set is more concretely hard wired for depression...and will take much longer to counter act.

I was able to overcome intense chemical changes in my brain during an acute anxiety disorder...purely based on combating every negative or unproductive, fearful thought that took over my mind....with one of safety and wellness in every moment I could muster the awareness to do so.(It was severe ..I didn't speak for nearly 40 days)

It was a conscious choice based on my will to be free of it and to overcome for the sake of being whole.

I worked my way out of it against all predicted odds and am able to draw on the skills I learned in this intense meditative war...

to this day I am able to see more clearly the things, triggers, negativity, and insights that get me from one state to another and back again.....

I am whole and healthy and HAPPY! I will never be the same.

I prayed alot to..it helped so much.
