How to deal with depressed feelings

If you think that you may be suffering from depression (or depressed feelings) you are advised to talk to someone. Your doctor or a friend or a counsellor.

If you think your depressed feelings are badly influencing you life, there are things you can do to alleviate those feelings...
If you think that you may be suffering from depression (or depressed feelings) you are advised to talk to someone. Doctors can prescribe medication to alleviate the symptoms

CBT — Cognitive Behavoural Therapy
CBT may help overcome the effects of depression.

Feelings of sadness, unhappiness, disappointment are as common as ecstasy, enjoyment, satisfaction and happiness. All of us experience a range and variety of emotions and feeling every day. If the range is limited and persists in a limited way then most people will be helped with therapy.

CBT for depression consists of the therapist helping the client to understand the normal range of expected emotional responses and feelings all of us experience... and is often and usually remarkable effective in relieving the symptoms.

And it maybe all that is required. After all, all we want is to be able to get back to our normal range of activities, have some fun and enjoy most of the day. However, if the symptoms return; if the pleasure is just not good enough; if the job or relationship suffers on a long term basis because of feeling miserable or always arguing or feeling unloved and misunderstood, there may be a case for a deeper and more substantial series of conversations with a therapist.

Consulting a counsellor or psychotherapist can make a difference to your progress.

It has been suggested that one in five people in Australia have, or will suffer from depressed feelings to some degree. Many doctors say that over half their patients suffer from such feelings to some significant degree.

Some signs that indicate you may have the effects of depression can include:
  • that you are unhappy in your work or relationships, and
    • that this unhappiness stays with you over a period of time, and
    • cannot be explained by illness, situation or attitude
  • loss of interest in things you usually do
  • doubts about your decisions, more than usually experienced
  • being scared where you can not find good reasing for
  • feelings of not being in control (at work or in your relationships or where things are changing around you)
  • Difficulty finding pleasure with activities you usually found fun
  • Difficulty settling down to things (like study or listening to music or at a picnic etc)
  • Feelings of suicide or thoughts about death (yours or those around you).... this is usually at the bottom end of the range of feelings around depression, but is by no means uncommon.


Some people have described feeling depressed as living life in black and white. This is usually described after they have found some relief from their condition. Depresion can be elusive.

Having depressed feelings: ask for help. Counselling depression helps. Depression counselling can help you find your way out the darkness than often envelops people who are feeling depressed and gives them hope for a future of having some of the good things in life.
