As I get older, the burden on my shoulders becomes heavier and heavier, and there are some things that I am unwilling or unable to say to the people around me, or I don't know how to say them. The indescribable depression and tiredness sometimes feel like it is about to crush people, but the old and the young can't fall, so they start to save themselves.
To overcome unspeakable depression and exhaustion, you first need to recognize that these feelings are normal and can be caused by stress, frustration or unresolved psychological trauma in your life. Here are some practical strategies to help you get out of the fog of your mind:
Self-awareness: Take time to reflect on your emotions and thought patterns. Try to understand what triggers your feelings of depression and tiredness. Keeping a journal is a great way to keep track of your feelings and triggers.
Emotional expression: Find safe ways to express your emotions. Whether it's through making art, writing, or talking to trusted friends or family, it's important to let go of your inner repression.
Psychological counseling: If you find it difficult to deal with these emotions on your own, it's a good idea to seek out a professional counselor. They can provide professional guidance and support to help you get to the root of the problem and develop effective coping strategies.
Establish a support system: Establish good communication with people close to you and let them know what you're going through, so you can get their support and understanding in times of need.
Relaxation techniques: Learning and practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga or progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce physical tension and mental stress.
Healthy lifestyle:Maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and getting regular physical activity are very important for maintaining good mental health.
Set boundaries: Draw a line between work and private life and make sure you have enough time to take care of your physical and mental health.
Goal setting: Set yourself small but achievable goals, which can help boost your self-confidence and motivation and reduce feelings of depression.
Mindfulness practice: Mindfulness is an exercise that focuses on the present moment, and it can help you reduce your worries about the past or future, which can reduce mental stress.
Keep learning: Learn more about mental health and attend relevant workshops or courses that will help you better understand and manage your emotions.
