What happens when you are depressed and Unhappy
Its very possible to persistent depressive disorder, also called dysthymia. Dysthymia, sometimes referred to as mild, chronic depression, is less severe and has fewer symptoms than major depression.
If you have dysthymia you may be unable to remember a time when you felt happy, excited, or inspired. It may seem as if you have been depressed all your life.
People can turn to alcohol and smoking to numb the feelings of unhappiness and negative self-worth. In the long term, dysthymia can lead to clinical depression and thoughts of suicide.
Dysthymia is not a condition you can typically conquer on your own. It's hard to recognize and manage without help. The good news is that medical circles are becoming increasingly aware of it and it is relatively easy to treat with anti-depressants and the right kind of professional help.
How you can be happy all the time
While happiness is a temporary state of euphoria over some good fortune or outcome in our lives, contentment brings with it far more long lasting peace and well-being.
- Spend your money by traveling the world, don't stop keep going, enjoy discover the earth and live adventurous life.
- Left money aside whenever choosing life partner.
- Read! Anything that comes your way, just read it! Learn as much as you can!
- Try making as many people happy with your extra money as you can, see if you will be happier.
- Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that being kind makes you happier? Every time you perform a selfless act, your brain produces serotonin, a hormone that eases tension and lifts your spirits. Not only that, but treating people with love, dignity, and respect also allows you to build stronger relationships.
- Take care of you health, be physically fit. What for you are making money if your health leads you to die? Use it to fit yourself.
- Change lifestyle, don't be introvert, don't act like you are rich or VIP. Try to be simple and this will lead you to the path of happiness.
- People who get into the habit of dreaming big are more likely to accomplish their goals than those who don’t. If you dare to dream big, your mind will put itself in a focused and positive state.
- Be in a relationship, In my experience its a great component of being happy.
- Happy people don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future. They savor the present. They let themselves get immersed in whatever they’re doing at the moment. Stop and smell the roses.
- If you're feeling overwhelmed, say in a clear voice, “I am in control. I am the only authority in my life.”
- Take a break from working hard. You forgot that you also have a personal life, C'mon, enjoy your life.
- Don’t take yourself so seriously.its a secret key to happiness: it’s ok to be a little goofy now and then! You only get one shot at this life, so make the most of it. Have some fun and show your children and those around you that you know how to have fun. You aren’t the greatest gift to mankind this world has ever had – so don’t act like it! You may find you add years to your life, not to mention a ton of laughter!
- Meditating silences your mind and helps you find inner peace. You don’t have to be a zen master to pull it off. Happy people know how to silence their minds anywhere and anytime they need to calm their nerves.
- Spend time with your friends, family and other relatives.
- Try to be social, its important however if you are not liking it.
- How many times have you heard someone say, “If only I had a few more dollars I’d…” or “If I just had another day off I could….”? Many people don’t know how to be satisfied with what life gives them. They are so busy wanting more that they squander what life has already given them.
- Stop beating yourself up over things that happened in the past – things you did or didn’t do, and mistakes you may have made with others.
Even if we have achieved success and money, what we so much desire, will it be able to compensate the relationships and health that have deteriorated beyond repair? So we want success and money only for the sake of it? Can success and money guarantee happiness? If we neglect our health and even achieve the desired success, will we be able to enjoy the benefits of success? ……. These are some of the questions which we have to pose to ourselves.
