I read once, your day to day bad habits could be contributing to your depression..?

Question

and keeping you there. What do you think some of those habits could be??

Answer 1

Yes. Deppression comes in repeated failures and criticism. Bad habits result in failure and criticism. Such person becomes a subject of entertainment. He doesn't get respect eventhough he has done a good thing but gets insulted in public for his misdeeds. This increases depression.
Leazyness, lustful acts, dirty styles, cheating, negative thinking and boasting are such habits.

Answer 2

I'm going to try to address everything you said. Just because you've been feeling sad lately does not mean you're depressed. It could be hormonal, or situation related. However, I used to "hate life" and all that, and I would say I would never kill myself, even though I would think about what it would be like if I were dead. I waited a long time before I saw a counselor/therapist. My suicidal thoughts just got worse, to the point where I have made numerous plans, and help the tools in my hand. Hating society and life is a common factor to wanting to commit (obviously). And DO NOT cut yourself. Please, don't. I do, and it's a terrible, TERRIBLE habit. It becomes addicting, and like drugs, you need to do it more to get the same result as you did in the beginning. Everyone that hasn't been exposed to it judges you. And after you do it you feel guilty and regret doing it. It's an awful cycle. Please don't start. Anyway, I really think you should see a counselor. Your friend is definitely right. I wish I had gone to see a counselor earlier. Depression lasts at least five years if it goes untreated. I've had mine for 3 years untreated, and 2 with treatment. It's finally starting to get better. You want to get treatment as soon as possible. Depression consumes your life. It's absolutely awful. Not going to see the counselor would be like thinking you have a cancerous lump, but choosing not to see the doctor. Your friends won't tell the counselor you've cut. Trust me, they won't. They'll probably do a questionnaire before you start and that will be one of the questions. To get the best treatment, you should answer truthfully. If the counselor sees the scars, they're probably the best person there is to see them. They're not going to judge you. A lot more people self-injure than you think. They've definitely came across someone who does it before. They won't hospitalize you. I've been there. From what you've said, your "condition" isn't serious enough to be hospitalized. Don't worry sweetie. They legally cannot tell your parents or your teachers anything, so don't worry about that. Everything you tell the counselor is confidential. So all in all, I think you should see the counselor at least three times. You'll know by then if it's right for you or not. Just try it. I think it will good for you. Stop the depression before it hits hard. And remember, counselors are there to help you. They don't judge, they just want to help. And chances are they've heard stories a lot worse than yours or mine. You're nothing out of the ordinary. Good luck sweetie :)

Answer 3

If you are depressed, you often don't want to socialize with others or take part on activities you normally enjoy. You don't have fun when you do those things. If you don't do them, though, you become increasingly isolated and have less and less to look forward to. The path out of depression is slow and rocky, and it's healthy to have things scheduled that you have to get out of bed and act normal to do. Also, if you are depressed you may be under-performing at work or school, digging yourself a hole it can seem impossible to climb out of, which can then add stress and increase your depression. Finally, you may be self-medicating with alcohol or something else, which again creates more problems, even when those problems are as minor as a weakened immune system. At worst, you could become an addict, which is... depressing. It's best, however hard it may seem, to keep yourself out there and functioning as best you can. Do things that help others, or just go out and see a band with your friends.

Answer 4

Your thoughts. Subconscious thoughts keep you down and depressed and not progressing in your life. Thoughts become deeply ingrained and result in patterns of behavior which in turn are bad habits. You don't know why you do certain things, and sometimes you don't even realize what you're doing because it's subconscious. Sort of like how OCD develops.

Answer 5

I think being late is a really bad habit and one thats hard to get out of, sometimes no matter how hard you try! This in turn causes stress, (well it causes me stress!)
