At this time, I will share about the cycle depression, thinking styles, the physical effect of depression and depression control. I f you are, or have been depressed, you may have noticed that you ruminate, or worry a lot during those periods. Typically, these ruminations are emotionally-arousing as they are carried out using 'All or Nothing thinking' (more on this later in the section) and a negativebias. That is, you have a thought and you feel unpleasant after it - anxious, angry or helpless.
The trouble with this sort of emotional arousal is that it doesn't do anything. The thought
creates the emotional reaction (usually anxiety or anger) and that's it.
Using The Cycle of Depression
As depression progresses, we get locked into a trance-like state - as we become emotionally aroused with negative emotions, our brain treats this arousal as a traditional 'threat' and reverts more to ' All or Nothing thinking' reducing our possible outcomes even further.
• The more emotionally-arousing, negative thinking we do, the more we dream.
• As the excessive dreaming causes more REM sleep, meaning less deep sleep, we
become exhausted.
• The more exhausted we are the more we are likely to interpret reality in depressing
ways.
• The cycle continues by finally affecting our immune systems, and periods of repair
and re-growth we undergo in deep sleep, affecting our health, which can only add to
depression.
The Physical Effects of Depression
What is significant in the physical signs of depression amongst sufferers is
• The overwhelming amount of sufferers that are chronically fatigued.
• The increase of physical aches and pains that have no apparent source.
• Depression sufferers' increased susceptibility to disease.
Thinking Styles and Depression
Depressed people everywhere think in remarkably similar ways. Understanding what these
thinking styles are and why they form a pattern, is a major key to beating depression for
good.(1)
Depression, to be ongoing, has to be maintained. Otherwise, depression will simply evaporate
over time. This maintenance is performed by thinking styles that encourage any introspection
to be emotionally arousing.
That’s all the review of today. See you in my another blog.
