There could be tons of ways to overcome
depression, or maybe just one. But I'm citing five.
Change the term to boredom. Negativities beget negativities. The
more you say you are depressed, the more you will be depressed. And depression
is such a heavy and gloomy term. So lighten things a bit by saying "I'm
bored". Then try doing things you do to relieve your boredom.
Consult your friends. Before consulting doctors,
psychologists and whoever medical and psychology practitioners, talk first with
friends. The reason sometimes for depression is isolation. You are alone
because you isolated and shut your doors from people who can actually be by
your side through it all.
Think happy thoughts. Stop watching sad movies or listening
to sad music, it will drag you down more. Play upbeat songs. Think of fun times
and little things like bubbles, rainbows, Easter eggs, cotton candies, comics,
or childish pranks.
Accept. In as much as I want to cite this as the first way to overcome 'boredom', I believe people would least likely do this. Because the first thing I did, was escape. Then I ran back and accepted the fact. So for you, stop running away. Accept.
Choose to overcome it. Best-selling authors and random people could probably tell you 100 great ways to overcome 'boredom' but if you do not make that choice to overcome it, you will probably would never overcome it. So choose. Choose to let go and start over. Leave that trash behind, put it in a garbage can or burn them rather so you can see ashes and embers be blown away and never be seen again. (There’s no need for an actual trash bin. You just need to throw those thoughts away. Burn them in your mind or whatever.)
If there's only one tip to this, it
would be: choose to overcome it.
