Depression is the Greatest Enemy of Your Creativity and Innovation....

in mindset •  6 years ago 

Hello again, my friends!

To fall into the trap of mundane routines of ordinary human fellows in your society is the greatest enemy of your destiny and eventual success.

Your mood greatly contributes to your productivity. One could argue that depression is a killer of creativity and innovation, to the point of rendering your thoughts blank and your words empty by its fearful grasp.

In this article, we will talk about how your general mood affects your productivity.

As you slip further from your true identity, the talons of depression will close in and trap you in their cage of burdensome existence.

Identity is the most important thing in the fight against depression.

A person who knows their place in life and what they want or have to become, what they must accomplish, and how they must live their everyday routine, are as steadfast and bold as they are determined and unrelenting.

This is not to say that everyone who has ever struggled with depression has had an identity crisis.

It is just to say that for some people, not knowing who they are and what they must do with their life is the main reason for depression and lack of productivity.

Some people do not find the state of their life favorable or interesting enough for their seeking souls. They lack the adventure that would vitalize their thoughts and give them enough to fight back against their illness.

A purpose to existence. A reason to fight. That is all any of us really wants. When we have that, everything else falls in order and we will experience a level of clarity that was unbeknownst to us before.

Whatever it is that gives you sleepless nights and makes you feel sad and empty inside, you need to understand that this depression will slow you down.

Not a lot of people who deal with this illness understand how adversely is it affecting their health and how ruthlessly is it killing their every bright and innovative idea!

As Laurel K. Hamilton once said:

‘There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.’

Depression is a powerful enemy. But in order to start fighting it with determination, you need to understand how slowly it is destroying your life and productivity.

If you have ever had a goal or a dream that you were to afraid or depressed to follow, know that your general mood affects that decision. Fight your depression and free yourself of unease, fear, and doubt.

A BIG HUG!

I would also say Depression appears a lot of times when the person is inclined towards self-pity.

Depression is biggest cause of failure for sure! But practically speaking it is easy to say that one should fight depression to make their time productive in order to achieve goals but in reality it is difficult to fight because if we could then that situation won't have effected us to make that sadness into depression.

For sure we must all encourage the depressed people to try to fight against it and look at the wider picture in life and see above that particular situation and depression.
Keep bringing on inspiring subjects!

Depression is a disease of the soul and is the most dangerous that a human can suffer because it destroys us slowly with diseases.

When I feel in one of those episodes of depression I pray to God and I look for reasons to overcome it. One technique I use is to stare at the mirror and look for beauty in my eyes and tell myself how much I love myself. It's something magical because then everyone around me can notice my change, my desire to live.

Best regards

I think there are negative moments that can be channeled and made productive. There are examples of great writers who were strangely brighter in their moments of darkness. Depression is a serious and silent illness, a circle that can become a labyrinth and can lead to death. In other publications you commented on the importance of writing at some borderline moments. I think that would be a good way to channel depression. Look for what to occupy your mind and try to take out through writing, painting, singing, those monsters that haunt you. Maybe you won't get rid of them, but you'll learn to live with your monsters and make your state more productive. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, @chbartist

Depression makes a person a "walking dead". It makes one's life purposeless until they find life worthless. But, if you overcome it; you become stronger and life's vicious blow will just become a normal thing for you.

depression do nothing but to hurt and undermine one potential growth once finding it way through someone soul. There is need to empty out negativity if we are to be successful and achieve excellence in our endeavors. Depression harm and limit someone In many ways it will hinder someone from standing on one feet and face the challenges with courage. I will be happy if you can add me to this list. I left a comment on your piece couple days ago but I don't think you see it.

We also need to be considerate as a community to offere support to those in need and struggling with this and other mental illnesses that are the worst detriments to achieving success. Without focus on the goals due to these challenges, it is difficult for anyone to meet these objectives.

@chbartist depression is a disease that attacks young people, children and the elderly, there is no established age to suffer. You have given a very powerful tool in this publication and it is knowing our identity and walking every day recognizing who we are and what we want. Many times the pain that we feel in the heart, can not be compared with a physical pain, because without a doubt, the emotional pain is more disturbing. Many other people can not even concentrate on their studies, their work and have a double or very unstable mentality, some do not know what is happening to them and how to deal with it, and it is very important that they have some knowledge of how this happens. The attacks of depression are devastating and we must become aware of how to face them, little by little with the help of family and friends, and a very good tool is to remind these people that they feel fragile that they are important, special and that They can do it, achieve everything they need and propose. And if we know someone who suffers from depression, let's be kind and say that they are loved and important to us, let's give them a reason to laugh and contribute with a grain of sand in this struggle that many face every day. As always, @chbartist very comforting, your publication has touched my heart.

hi! actually i´m in the middle of depression right now. i´m from Venezuela and i´m a writer but i don´t know how to publish my books and start to be known, because in my contry is almost impossible to do that.

Yes, I agreed. Not just 'lack of productivity' but 'lack of progress in life'; and the 'reason to fight' contributed to depression. Being in depression myself is not easy. Even though i got myself out at 1st time but the after effect is still there. Those who never had it will never understand. Like people always says "you wont understand the pain until you get yourself burnt". But this post can help alot of people who are in this situation. The more people who are in depression come together to share their issue, the more helpful it will be.

I would love to be part of contributor to share my personal life experiences and help as many people as i can.

According to me depression is the greatest enemy but if you have money then only you will be greedy person is not necessary because a greedy person is more evil than a rich person.
sir always have the feelings that dream is not what you see in the sleep but it is the thing which does not let you sleep.

I do feel depressed especially after failure to do something and then fear sets in. However with the sharing @chbarstist I need to confront it

Depression is part of life, why fight it, accept the feelings, everyone has gone to it in their lives, part of learning curve, and its makes you more than before. Depress people don't need the words, it's your fault, think positive, or get up and exercise. They only need people who will always be by their side, when they needed help or questions. Anything that doesn't kill you only makes you stronger..

muy buen contenido , la depresión es el alimento del camino perdido , pero es cobarde cuando hay estabilidad y objetivos motivadores ! @chbartist #siganme #venezolana

But unfortunately suffering from depression incapacitates you and more when you are in a deep depression you feel there is no way out, it is more advisable to seek help to heal, you see around you and no one notices what happens to you or rather and the most frustrating is not they care, it only comes out with a lot of courage and self-esteem, because it is very true that if we do not love ourselves and we do not accept ourselves as we are, no one else will love us, because we are the ones who, with the passage of time, minimize ourselves or we allow others to do it and even worse we believe it. We are many who are overwhelmed at some point in our lives, we feel sadness, depression, anxiety, frustration, that some days we see no way out and we feel terrible, but I want to tell you what I read feeling like this today, do not get discouraged , go ahead that if you can, that there are millions of reasons to make you want and get out of here, that there is a universe of possibilities out there and it is not a bad life but a bad moment, let's stay positive, let's go ahead and you will see that when let's get out of this life will give us a world of possibilities to be free and give the best of us. It is not easy, but nothing that is good is achieved without effort, and what makes us feel bad here will make us stronger when we are outside. Courage if you can! Let's move forward 💚 Keep putting heart to what they do and what makes them strong! Today is a great day to be happy! "

My personal opinion Depressed person realy can not achieve a successful life
I agree with you here you good advice given in the article don't fear fight self for good achievement.

bit of of a misleading point to say michael jordan missed 9000 shots

he attempted 8772 and scored 49% of the time

Depression is a silent killer. I have been suffering from severe depression from the age of 12 and I am 35 now. My depression has been treatment resistant and we have tried pretty much everything. My psychiatrist wants me to do Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) but I am completely against it.

I have reached a point where I often wonder if there is even enough of me left to save. Depression takes away so much from a person's life and changes them completely. Lack of motivation and interest in anything is so hard to deal with and so frustrating at the same time.

I pray to God for healing all the time.

One thing I find useful though is practicing mindfulness. I use guided mindfulness through the headspace app. The first 10 days are free then they want you to pay to continue but I find just repeating the free 10 days works just fine. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has also been somewhat helpful in dealing with my thoughts

I'm not depressed, but i do not fully agree with your post. I think that somehow depression can bring you to an higher state where passion and love are mixed with your inside troubles. Some poets are obsessed with depression but made the beatiful poems and though we have in this life. I'm Italian so I will quote Giacomo Leopardi, known for his incurable and cronic depression, that made him wrote "L'infinito", one of the best creative poem we have the privilege to read.
So I will suggest to accept the bad feelings and try to take the best of them.

add me to this list, so the demons do not come

Well, all said and done..
@chbartist depression brings down the inner component in human.. It makes us feel the world is depriving us of our values. Thanks for pointing out all that matters.

Depression is an emotional feeling of uncertainty of life in general.

To be specific, depression tends to make us unwanted and hopeless.

How to fight depression?
Look for people who had depression, who struggles and recovered and eventually succeeded and was fulfilled.
These people are the good and experienced teachers for sure.
