I am feeling depressed

When you touch a hot object with your hands you will experience some pain that will force you to pull your hands away from the hot object. Your body has a very intelligent mechanism for protecting itself from damage, whenever it finds that any of your organs is endangered it sends you signals of pain so that you respond by moving away from the source of the pain.

But what if your body found that you are facing big emotional problems that will result in some other type of damage that is more dangerous than the physical damage; won’t it try to warn you too? Yes it will by sending you feelings like sadness and depression!!

Why aren’t you responding?

When your hands touch a hot object you remove it immediately and so the pain disappears but when you encounter an emotional problem you don’t take actions and that’s why you remain depressed. Your mind is very intelligent, it tries first to draw your attention to the danger you are exposed to by sending you a weak signal, this signal might be in the form of sadness, mood swings or irritation but if you still didn’t respond the signal may increase until it becomes something like a severe depression. In short, ignoring your problems is the main reason that allows bad emotions to stay and even to increase in intensity.

Ignoring your problems

Have you ever been in place that had a bad smell and then few minutes later you stopped noticing that bad smell? This happens because your body adapts to surroundings by ignoring repetitive signals so that they don’t keep bothering you. Now what if you kept ignoring the stress you are feeling, the bad emotions you experience or the irritation you get while working? (see Why do i hate my job)

Your mind will get used to these signals and it might ignore them for a while but later on it will send you a much powerful signal that may take the form of a severe depression or even suicidal thoughts!!! In short, If you want to live happily then take actions right now because the more you will ignore the signals, the more will they intensify and the worse will be your feeling.

In my book In my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression i explained how ignoring your problems and allowing them to accumulate can be the primary source for depression. Some people face problems as soon as they encounter them while others bury them deeply in their subconscious minds or throw them behind their backs. When they do so their subconscious minds usually responds back with depression.
