Depression and unmet goals

missed your goals?

So you have missed your goal
Maybe the time limit you have set was over
Maybe your efforts yielded no result
or maybe your just lost hope

you are depressed because you are strong

First of all, getting depressed because of unmet goal may not be a severe depression compared other cases where a close family relative is lost or a beloved one dies. Secondly if you already set goals, fight for them ,set time limits then you are already a strong person, if you were not persistent and ambitious then you may have not become depressed, its your strength which made you become depressed this time.

did you have backup plans?

Secondly, probably you came to this page because you didn’t have a backup plan or a crisis management scenario,your main focus now is to decide what are you going to do next, the past is gone, you can only change the future, write another plan.

Yes, your depression wont go away by writing the plan but you will feel much better,because writing a plan gives a signal back to your mind notifying it that you started to take action and so your bad feeling’s will get reduced in turn.

continue moving on even if you are feeling bad

You have another main task which is to continue moving on your new plan even if you felt real bad, if you can consult a professional for taking an antidepressant that would be a good idea, the anti depressant will make you feel fine as long as you are taking it, mean while you will be moving on your new plan, and if it did succeed, your depression will fly away.

This is your main challenge, working, studying and even exercising while feeling down, yes it’s hard, but as I have already said, you won’t get that type of depression except if you were strong, and only the strong can do this while feeling down.

Finally it is important to know that your bad feelings wont be of the same intensity forever, the more you progress in the new plan the more you will good, so its just a matter of time but given that you are already taking an action and just staying in bed.
