Depression and inferiority complex

Depression as a signal

If your car ran out of fuel wont there be a certain light that will flash to give you a signal that the fuel ran up?

Yes usually the car sends such signals when it needs fuel and the same goes for your mind and body. Sometimes your mind sends you an emotion as a warning signal that has the purpose of notifying you that something is going wrong.

This signal might be in the form of depression!
In this article i will tell you about the connection between depression and inferiority complex and how both emotions can be nothing more than a signal your mind is using to draw your attention to something.

Depression and inferiority complex

Its OK to feel inferior at certain times provided that you understand that this inferiority should motivate you to do something to improve your life, however, if you always feel inferior compared to your friends, your team-mates or your work mates without doing anything about it then you may end up depressed.

This type of depression may just be a signal that your mind is sending to let you solve the inferiority problem. This signal carries inside it the following message “hey, don’t you that you are feeling inferior? Don’t you see that you are feeling bad. There is nothing that can be done about it, why should I make you feel happy?”.

So are all parts of this message true? No of course not, the phrase “there is nothing that can be done about it” is wrong and it’s the main reason you are feeling depressed right now.

Limiting beliefs such as "there is no hope" or "there is nothing that can be done" can be the main cause for depression. Depression happens when a person loses hope in reaching something that he really wants and so if a limiting belief made you believe that there is no hope then certainly you will end up depressed.

How to deal with depression and inferiority complex

The moment you start to take actions towards removing your feelings of inferiority your depression will disappear. In my book, The ultimate guide to getting over depression i explained how depression can only be the result of ignoring your problems and throwing them behind your back. If you took actions to solve them your depression will ease the same moment you start.

Getting over inferiority is not hard. Inferiority usually happens when the person fails to deal with life challenges properly and so ends up thinking that he is helpless ( check out the guide for dealing with inferiority complex to learn more about feelings of inferiority).

The good news is that you can still deal with feelings of inferiority by writing a new plan and trying to achieve what you have failed to achieve before. Depression and inferiority feelings can be two sides of the same coin. Depression can make you feel inferior while inferiority can make you feel depressed.

know that your bad feelings wont go away unless you take actions. unless you start to solve your problems you might stay depressed forever. Learn how to deal with inferiority, read more about dealing with depression in order to get rid of them both.
