When you start
the treatment,
become aware of
what you are
doing, and
persist on it.
As you recover,
the professional
who treats you,
if he is ethical
and reliable, he
will certainly
start to
gradually free
you from the
prescribed
medicines, by
decreasing the
doses until they
are totally
removed, if
possible. Do not
stop the
treatment at
your sole
discretion. If
you do this,
there is a very
good chance that
you will go
through a
crisis, which
will require
equal or higher
dosages.
It is not very
pleasant to have
to take a
medicine for a
long time, so
that it can
furnish us with
the quantities
of neurohormones
that we lack,
but it is
extremely
necessary and it
sure means less
suffering for
us.
A Spiritist view
of the matter
If we know that
thoughts and
feelings
influence our
mind, cheering
or leaving it
sad, then we can
certainly help
our own selves.
It is a daily
fight to
maintain good
and healthy
thoughts and
feelings, if you
want to stay
well. If you
feel better by
reading a good
book, listening
to a song,
making some
physical
activity,
talking to a
good friend, or
going for a
spiritual laying
on of hands
(spiritual and
magnetic pass),
or a spiritual
disobsession
treatment, then
do it.
Andre Luiz
teaches us that
mental states,
such as fear,
guilt, remorse,
frustration,
anger, just to
name of the most
common, which
cause
depression, are
poured into the
human body
through the
biophores,
which are
psychosomatic
power units
located in the
mitochondria,
organelles that
exist in some
types of cells
that function as
a "power box" to
produce energy
for all cellular
activities. The
term biophore
was created by
Augusto Weismann
(1834-1914) to
refer to the
basic building
blocks of living
structures.
Emmanuel
endorses this
teaching adding
that depression
interferes with
cellular mitosis
and may
contribute to
cancer and other
immune diseases,
especially
immune
deficiency.
Medicine fully
confirms this
last statement
too. Depressed
people have
their immune
system weakened
and, therefore,
are more subject
to infections
and other
diseases that
depend on its
proper
functioning.
I believe that
those energy
constraints
emanated from
the spirit reach
the endocrine,
nervous, and
immune systems,
and even the
multiplication
of cells
(mitosis),
compromising
their
performance.
This is the root
not only of
neurotransmitter
deficiencies,
but of the
entire physical
malaise
associated with
depression, as
discussed below.
Depression
causes a loss of
vital energy,
and the body
becomes weak.
Our body, as we
know, is
commanded by our
spirit. Let us
see what a
friendly spirit,
in a loving and
caring way, says
about
depression:
"Depression is
caused by the
lack of love of
the soul for
itself, for
life, and its
outlook to
achieve
happiness.
Without love and
hope, man cannot
receive the
vital energy of
the cosmos. His
will and
motivation to
live becomes
weak".
How can we
change this
situation?
Living with
depression
Depression comes
without warning
and affects men
and women of all
ages, from
children to
people over 70
years, as well
as very healthy
young people.
When it arrives,
it requires the
spirit to find
its own
solutions, to
clean and purify
itself becoming
aware and
fighting back
the causes of
its emotional
and physical
weakening. In
addition to
medical and
spiritual
treatments, many
attitudes,
however, can
favorably change
the way
depression is
experienced and
overcome.
Start rethinking
the issue of
self-esteem. To
love yourself
and value your
own life is a
necessary
condition for a
person to feel
like living and
feel fulfilled
by using its
potential for
this purpose.
God did not
create man to be
unfit for life.
Happiness, in
turn, is not an
open door
waiting for us
to enter, but an
outlook of life
to be gradually
built and
sustained by
attitudes that
are valuable for
us and for our
neighbors, and
which will make
up the story of
our life.
We need to dream
and build the
conditions to
achieve our
dreams. To do
this we have to
believe in
ourselves, in
our potential,
and in life as a
path through
which we walk.
Faith is also of
great help: we
need to believe
in the Creator
of Life as a
wise being,
merciful and
just, so that we
can accept life
as a positive,
loving and fair
outlook for our
spiritual
development.
Otherwise, what
is the meaning
of life? Is it
to work just to
pay our bills,
go to the
Shopping Center,
and partying
from time to
time?
We need to get
along with
others to be
happy, but we
must not turn an
acquaintanceship
into an
unhealthy
dependence, and
become a burden
to the other,
encouraging him
to leave us. To
live beside
someone who is
depressed is
unbearable for
many people.
The center of
gravity that
anchors our
happiness must
be within us. We
can let the
other share this
with us and we
will share the
other's center
too. This is how
we will feel
emotionally
richer by the
day.
Each one of us,
however, needs
to remain
healthy and
independent, to
ensure our
emotional health
and be able to
build a new
relationship, if
eventually at
some point the
connection and
complicity that
support the
relationship
ends, and each
one goes their
way. In short,
to be happy in
the
relationship,
you have to be
happy with
yourself, so
that you have
something good
to share with
the other.
With simple
actions, give a
shoo to
depression
Do not weaken by
small and
transient
problems. Give
them the
importance they
should have:
little or none.
Only this will
substantially
decrease your
strain in life,
and you will
become a lighter
person and even
nicer to your
own self.
You do not need
to be a clown or
laugh, when this
is not genuine,
but keep up your
good mood. It
will be your
saving plank in
the sea of
bitter people,
who complain too
much, the
naysayers, and
the ones who
feel so sorry
for themselves.
Without a good
mood, you will
drown in their
sea of misery.
The achievements
that you longed
for but did not
fulfill can make
you happy or
unhappy. Do not
be frustrated by
what you did not
achieve, because
the failure of
not reaching a
goal will
compromise all
the remaining
ones. Value your
achievements.
If someone
betrayed, hurt,
made you unhappy
or belittled
you, be happy
for not being
you who did this
to someone else.
The mistake
belongs to the
other person,
but it is you
who decides how
much this is
going to
influence your
life. Only you
can put an end
to your
suffering. When
you forgive this
person and
understand his
limitations,
then your
suffering fully
disappears.
If you hurt
somebody and you
were wrong, do
not give in to
guilt and
remorse. See
what you can do
to make the
other one happy.
If you can do
nothing for the
person you hurt,
do it to
somebody else,
but do
something. Prove
to yourself that
you changed into
a better and do
not repeat the
same old
mistakes, be it
with those you
love or even
those you hate.
Especially
because you
already know how
much this type
of thing harms
you too.
Be less
connected on
social networks,
less messages,
emails and
games, less
addiction to
cell phones,
ipads and
computers, and
be more in
connection with
yourself, with
your feelings,
with your vital
energy, with
your body, with
the ones you
love, and try to
understand and
harmonize with
your own self
and your
neighbor. This
is valuable for
self-knowledge
and emotional
balance.
When you are sad
and hot-headed,
rather than
staying in a
closed room
feeding your own
ill-feelings, go
for a walk, take
a deep breath
and get some
morning sun, or
late in the
afternoon, if
possible go for
a walk in a park
where you can be
in touch with
nature. Just be
with yourself,
with the trees,
flowers and
birds. Thus, you
will be closer
to God and
connected with
the smooth part
of life. After
doing this, most
probably, what
affects you will
come out of your
system.
Half an hour of
sun every day
ensures the
necessary amount
of vitamin D -
in fact a
powerful steroid
hormone
responsible for
229 functions of
the immune
system - and it
can help you
overcome
depression. If
you want to know
more about this
issue, access on
internet the
excellent work,
which has been
developed by the
doctor and
scientist Cicero
Galli Coimbra.
The combination
of more oxygen
(breathing),
more circulation
and nutrition of
the cells
(movement) and
more vitamin D
(immune power)
will make you
have enough
energy to cope
with depression.
Do not feed
depression with
your thoughts
and feelings. If
you feel the
presence of less
pleasant
spirits, than go
to a spiritual
center for
treatment. Their
well-being is
going to help
you.
To be happy is
not an
obligation, but
a pleasure
within your
reach, almost
every day, but
never for 24
hours on a go;
otherwise you
would lose your
motivation for
this
achievement.
Be persistent!
Let depression
go with the
wind!
