Question

how are some ways to get over a great tragedy that causes depression in ur life???

Answer 1

If the depression (which is called situational when there is a defineable cause) is not causing substantial problems in your normal life (job, family, health, sex) then its more likely grief than depression and should subside in time.

If instead the depression is effecting your life and the lives of those around you, you should seek reputable counseling and therapy, preferably to include a peer support group.

There is no magic to make hurt go away.

Dust

Answer 2

Depending on the tragedy, you just have to take it a day at a time and create some meaning to it. Though some people may think this is an unrealistic approach, healing is different for everyone. Also, if your depression has lasted more than a week, you might seek treatment and choose an antidepressant. It can be very helpful in helping you deal with the loss of serotonin.

I hope you can find a way to work through whatever it is you are going through and wish you the best.

*Another thing to do in addition to the above is seek support from family, friends or a group dealing with similar issues.

Answer 3

I'd first like to say, that there have been many, many "tragedies" in my life, the last that could be so named, was the first day of Spring this year. I truly hope this doesn't sound "trite" or simplistic to you, because it's not. & it isn't "easy." & it has worked for ME. (I'm only assuming you're referring to somone's death.) Some of my friends have died of suicide, terminal desease, killed by a drunken driver & so on. I "saw" two of the suicides coming; one was noble, one was disapair. The terminal deseases were a rellief; the people were no longer suffering. The drunken driving incident was the most difficult to come to terms with. Yet, in all cases, if I searched very deeply, I found "balance" & even better, that in memory, they all make me smile, & glad to have had them in my life. I'm not playing down depression. Yet, I've discovered that my grief was in my PERSONAL loss, & there is far, far more to consider. THE OTHER. I don't in any way suggest you take my point of view, just give it a chance? & if that person (if you mean death) would speak to you now, they would NOT want you to be depressed!

Talk about it with a good friend. Then sit down and make goals for the future...one week, one month, six months, one year, five years and ten years.

You still have a life to live...I know it must suck right now, but you only have two choices;
- stay in the mucky waters
- find the way out and back on the road to life.

Good luck and God speed....

Answer 5

Relocate

Answer 6

eventually you have to accept it and move on. Some try to forget, some deny, there are many ways of avoiding tragic situations, but in the end you have to realize that you cannot turn back time and undue what ever was done. So you must accept it and move on.

Answer 7

Try to zoom out and look at the greater scheme of the picture in life.

Try to look at things from different angle. Don't stay at one place, go to different places to expose yourself to new elements.

Answer 8

Try talking it out with a trusted friend or counselor. Or, try writing it out in a journal. Don't keep your feelings inside.
