Depression
 In
99% of cases, depression vanishes instantly like magic within seconds of
hearing certain words or seeing certain things. Chemicals in the brain and
body immediately affect our moods and behaviour, and events in the world
trigger chemicals that make us laugh or cry or get angry or feel any of a
wide range of emotions. Most depressed people don’t realise this and
therefore don’t think to use this to their advantage.
A long term chronic depression sufferer burst out laughing when she saw her
unsympathetic ex husband trip and fall down flat off a step at the school.
He was embarrassed, not hurt, and it cheered her up immediately. In fact she
giggled all day saying ‘poetic justice!’ I then pointed out to her that she
could remember that incident every time she began to feel depressed about
his failings during their marriage. A young man, deeply affected by
depression since high school, was over the moon with joy when he won a large
sum of cash. When we re-live events in our mind, we usually feel the
emotions as well.
Depressed people also feel all the other emotions. They feel anger,
resentment, loneliness, embarrassment, laziness, indignation, fear, delight,
laughter, confusion, pride, and any emotion you can name. The problem is
that they keep defaulting back to depression – often in spite of medication.
Mastering our moods and states is not that difficult when you know how to do
it. ‘Help! I’m Going Crazy’ will teach you how, and also how to think in a
new way, how to handle the problems that lead to the onset of depression,
how to solve problems to avoid depression, and most importantly – how to run
your own mind and emotions on purpose so you’re able to be in the state or
mood of your choice. This way you can beat depression and no longer depend
on harmful drugs in order to live your life with happiness, motivation and
enthusiasm.
