How to Attempt to Deal with your Depression ❤️🙏🏻

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SITUATION

A common misconception is that depression is always a chemical imbalance but it that isn't always the case. There are two types of depression: situational and genetic. Situational Depression is usually caused by stress and insecurity that has built up over time - this type is often easier to overcome than Genetic Depression because you can usually leave or at least change the situation but you cannot change you genetic predispositions.

EXPRESSION

Emotional expression is a very powerful thing and it can be quite easy to do. Examples of emotional expression are: art, singing, dancing, journaling or simply talking about how you feel ☺️

HEALTH

**this is not to say that the above are EASY TO DO. Sometimes the mere thought of getting out of bed can be overwhelming. But life isn't a race. Take baby steps until you're completely comfortable**
