It's hard to see it now but things will get better. When I was going through my issues, I was given a good piece of advice. Depression is when you worry about things in the past that have already happened and you can't do anything about. Anxiety is when you worry about things in the future that may never happen. All you can really do is focus on the current moment you're in and that’s where you are right now. If you do anything else, you’re just ruminating on things that can’t hurt you any more or things that are fantasies that may never come.
How do you find happiness in the current moment when you're experiencing such pain? It's not easy but there are ways you can refocus your mind so it's not as bad. For example, whenever you find your mind going to a negative place, it's important to mentally reframe the situation. They say “gratitude” is an important part of happiness. Right now, things are obviously bad but what are things I am grateful for? That’s what you need to focus on in order to get through this. Think of those things when the dark thoughts start popping up and it will, surprisingly, help. Some people have suggested writing down five things you're grateful for, each night, before you go to bed, then re-reading them in the morning. It won’t solve everything but it will steer your mind in a more positive direction.
Another thing to avoid in bad situations is overthinking things. Excessive rumination is hard to avoid but it can lead to depressive thoughts. As best you can, try not to over think the situation. When the bad thoughts come, say “Wait. Don’t over think this.” Just take action and move on. Distract yourself with something else, like positive music or funny movies. Again, it won’t solve everything but it will steer you in a positive direction so you can fight this thing better.
You can do this. It won’t be easy but you can do this – and you will get better. Keep fighting. You got knocked down. Everybody does. Now, it’s time to stand back up – and keep moving forward.
