How can I break depression's vicious circle?

As a person coping with depression I have found that making strong bonds with my family and talking about my problems with a doctor have greatly improved my way of life. If you are struggling with depression, I highly suggest keeping a journal about what your bad days are like, and seeing your family doctor.

try keep yourself busy try doing lots of activities that you enjoy and try not be alone it helps to be with someone

Exercise can help a lot with breaking the cycle. Also, doing creative things, like painting, sewing, baking, cooking, writing, drawing, building things, and woodworking can help.

The only way I break my depression is by waking up and saying all that you are thankful for and put aside the negative thoughts

Try to do it slowly. Get active by doing one thing at the time. For instance, you can try to do the dishes at day one, and then at day 2, try to do the dishes and clean the bathroom. Taking small steps is very important in this process. If you feel like you can't do it on your own, find someone to help you, like a very important family member or friend, or maybe a therapist.

Try to think clearly and see through the fog. Identify possible triggers - professional therapists can help you with that - and try to either eliminate them or change how you perceive them (the ABC model shows us that this is also possible). To muster the energy to do this, get support in any way you can. Use 7 Cups, use therapy (https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/), use medication if needed. This is a war and you have the power to win it.

By not letting it take over. There are ways to fight back! Find out what causes your depression, and make sure that it won't be triggered! Instead of sleeping out wake up early and exercise!

Each day, do something small that you like. Read a book, wake up early and have a cup of tea. It's not much, but if you do something to counteract your depression, It can't come back to you as harshly.

There are numerous methods, but the one I've found most effective is to seek the root of the cause. To do this, we have to go through the pain of our memories and dig deep within our emotions. From there, we gain the strength to finally make a choice, break the cycle, or allow it to continue. But it's all within our control :)

Don't recall your past or anything that makes you feel bad. Always think that you're mentally and physically healthy. Remember, when your thoughts are honest, they will happen in real.
