      How To Overcome Depressions By Yourself - Sonja Schoch

      Word

      1. Depressions

      When soul falls ill, we often do not know what is wrong with us. We notice that we change and realize feelings and modes of behaviour which we do know from ourselves. As soon as the idea of a depression comes up, many concerned persons and their family members find themselves confronted with an unknown topic.

      But it need not be a depression by all means. It is quite normal that occasionally everyone is at rock-bottom and not fine for some days. Only if you know bad days, you may enjoy happy days. There is a depression if you cannot get excited about anything for a longer period of time.

      If you suffer from a depression, a lot of information essentially need being collected allowing you to get an overview of the possibilities. The situation slowly becomes more under-standable offering a clearer idea of the illness and possibilities of healing. The most important that will be recognized is the following: Depressions can be healed, and you yourself can do something to experience it!

      1. Case Examples

      First Example:

      Description of My Aunt

      On the occasion of my sister’s birthday party I recognized for the first time that my aunt behaved in a different way than usually. She was silently sitting in a corner of the room leaving the impression of being somewhere else. Sitting down beside her, I asked of what she was just thinking, as she seemed to be lost in thoughts. She only replied that she was not fine, but that this would certainly improve again. One should keep her sitting there – things would get better again. As I saw her talking lively and laughing again a little later, I thought that she had only required a short time-out. She was already older at that time and I assumed that so many people, loud laughing and chattering might be too much for her. A few months later, when I paid her a visit, she told me that she sometimes felt rather strange. In her mind everything seemed to be senseless. I had the impression that my aunt was suffering from the whole world’s pain. She was talking of wars which need not be made – it was the time of the Gulf War. According to her view everything was worsening. She felt sorry for the young people as it continuously became more difficult to find a job and so on and so on. She, however, could not give the reason for being so down. At that time I recommended her to consult a doctor for a careful medical check. My uncle was upset because in his view one should not always interpret something serious in such an occurrence. As she would no longer be as young as she used to be, it would be normal that something like this happened from time to time. Finally she must have gone to see her doctor, but not - as she always emphasized – because of her melancholy. In the course of the medical check depressions were by the way diagnosed on my aunt. With the prescription of medication this matter was settled for the time being.

      Second Example:

      Experience Report of a Concerned

      A depression mostly becomes noticeable only very gradually. In my case I only became aware of something being wrong with me, after the symptoms had become very serious. As I had always been entirely healthy, with both feet on the ground and stressed out by my job, it was a bad experience of not knowing what was suddenly happening to my body. Looking for information in the internet, I came across the topic depression. At first sight I believed to be buried by the enormous scope of information, because there so many types of depressions which may also accompany anxiety disorders and psychoses. Additionally the numerous causes can be very different. In my specific case I experienced several very painful experiences in the last few years – which had strongly affected me and which I obviously never got over. Furthermore it is typical of me to first always help other people by diminishing at the same time by own needs and wishes. As friends and acquaintances knew this quite well, they always bothered me with their personal problems asking for a solution. I am a very sensitive person and always try to be there to serve others. But behaving that way, you run the risk of forgetting yourself and indeed - eventually it backfired. As my job put a lot of strain on me – in addition to the fact of being a single mother – it finally became too much of a good thing. Following a physical collapse I was taken to hospital by the emergency ambulance, where a thorough medical check did not reveal anything except a few poor blood test results. A „post-traumatic stress reaction and a „somatised depression were, however, diagnosed, which I - upon my discharge – discussed in detail with my family doctor. Furthermore I collected a lot of information on these diagnoses from the internet. Especially regarding the complex topic of depressions I – as a patient - consider it very important to critically scrutinize the first diagnoses and to be well advised of the disease. Particularly the statement I suffer from a depression is often ridiculed by the surroundings. Many people do not know that this disease is highly diversified and should be considered as a serious illness. Uninformed people often imagine depressive people as weak persons who cannot cope with their life and the resulting problems. But this is a false conclusion. If soul is suffering, the body will react on it by all means either at an earlier or later date. As already mentioned, the causes can be very different. Trying to analyse my life, I took notes of the energies and surroundings which affected me. In doing so, I came across my family. Only at that time I became aware of having had a big problem with my own mother for many years. It goes without saying that this put a strain on me in the long run. Which medical treatments for depressions are available? Both, ambulant and in-patient therapies are offered. As I am the mother of a fairly young child, an in-patient treatment was not suitable for me. But nevertheless I had a look at it. I would have stayed in a three-bed room in a typical hospital atmosphere - an environment that certainly sickens persons instead of restoring their health. Additionally the classes for handicraft work and sports are not the right things for me. But everyone has – of course – to take his own decision. The very strong and intense medication would, however, have been the worst for me as I usually even do not take any pain killers. Furthermore I did not want to be sedated as I am a strong personality.

      I have therefore decided to undergo an ambulant psychotherapy. Due to the very long waiting-lists I have contacted a church institution where help is given more quickly, particularly in an acute crisis phase. But it is of importance to go well along with the therapist – the chemistry needs to be right. Otherwise you should not be afraid of changing the therapist. The first five sessions are granted by the health insurance company. During this time it is possible to go to another therapist if there is no dealing with the previous one. I was additionally suffering from a generalised anxiety disorder. Due to my strong negative experiences which I had gathered with people who I had trusted I hardly dared to socialise. I was just glad to be in my own home. It was even difficult for me to go shopping. In my view all people would be aware of my exhaustion and would think badly about me.

      My second therapist preferred performing a behaviour therapy. This type of therapy helps to better cope with the surroundings and to learn from the past. I have later stopped this therapy, as it did not help me to deal with my childhood. I experienced a happy – almost too normal - childhood.

      I am
