Good thoughts are a weapon against depression, or "Forgiveness Sunday" for yourself

Strange things happen to a person who decides to change his life, to fix it for the better. Immediately after the decision to start all over from a new page, as if a mass of obstacles appeared from under the ground - as if on purpose someone was adding oil to the fire of a sinful past.

Resist the negativity. What actually prevents a person from improving and drags him into long-term depression. It is difficult to convey in words how evil begins to attack a person when his soul seeks purification and moral peace. Not having enough strength to fight obstacles, a person loses faith in himself and becomes depressed. This situation is inherent in spiritually exhausted persons who, due to turmoil, have experienced nervous stress.

The fact is that such people do not have enough energy to resist negativity, they are able to get nervous about the smallest detail. A man who has sinned for a long time and now seeks to throw off the burden of the past, and himself many times has become a witness to devilish attacks. It so happened that in different situations the devil hit the painful points of this person's past. That is why it was necessary, first of all, to calm down, realize their misdeeds and get rid of them through confession with the sacrament. After all, a frank confession can cut off sin from a person, like a surgeon during an operation on a damaged part of the body. Now this person is a spiritual child who asks for advice and spiritual support. It is interesting that even when this person turned to a psychologist, the doctor first of all advised taking a sedative, because in a panic it is never possible to solve anything and see a possible solution to the problem. After all, there is always a way out, only in despair it is impossible to see it.

During depression, the Church advises first of all to calm down and solve the problem small. That is, do not look immediately at the 20th line of the situation, but pay attention to the first, to the foundation. What is he? Does it make sense to actually build in it? Pride interferes with correction. Therefore, having calmed down, it is worth considering your own possible misconduct. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize the cause of the problem in oneself, because pride, which is the root of all sins, interferes. Every situation in life teaches us something. In order not to ask oneself: “Why do I need this?”, A person must take some lesson from his life, analyze his actions, because without a lesson learned, events can be repeated on a much larger scale.

Sometimes there are people who succeed in everything. And they succeed because they are stronger than circumstances, they can control themselves, they are calm in soul, and most importantly, they think positively, which incredibly strengthens the soul and is the next, third step in getting out of depression. If you do everything gradually, then the result will not slow down, and the person who pulled himself together and found the strength to correct himself, imperceptibly becomes an example and a kind of core for others, justifying the statement: "Save yourself - and thousands of you will be saved" ... So, chasing a bad opinion as far away from oneself as possible, it is worth "arming" yourself with good attitudes like: "Everything will be better than now", "I can do it", "Everything passes and this problem will also pass" and others, spiritually supporting ourselves this way way. Even if something is stolen from you, consider that the thief may have a greater need for the stolen, and rest assured that you will have more health to earn even more than you lost.

You can love anyone. Knowing that our faith is dead without good deeds, one should not only possess knowledge, but also apply it in everyday life.A person recovered from depression can himself give positive and love to others, and by acting for love, he warns himself against depression in the future. It is important to know that there is always a struggle between good and evil, and the battlefield is the human heart, which needs to be filled with good and love. It is interesting that you can love absolutely everyone. I was personally convinced that even in the most unpleasant at first glance people you can find many positive traits. One has only to take a closer look, remember the good moments in life associated with this person, and suddenly the attitude towards the previously unpleasant interlocutor changes for the better. And every believer should know that all sins are forgiven, except for suicide, which becomes the most terrible consequence of depression. Indeed, having lost his life, a person deprives himself of the opportunity to throw off the burden of sins and reform. Today there is a lot of negativity around, however, it can be easily neutralized with a positive. Thinking this way, everyone will be incredibly powerfully armed against the most powerful evil, and depression will be the tenth road.
