According to the World Health Organization,\r\n300 million people of all ages battle with it Depression is a sneaky mental disorder. It\u2019s difficult to catch during the early\r\nstages. Most of us realize we have depression when\r\nwe are deep in the grips of it. Those with this mental disorder feel hopeless,\r\nempty or sad, fatigued, irritable, and restless. Depression not only takes your motivation\r\naway, but you can have problems concentrating and making decisions.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThose of us with this disorder can act in\r\nways that will worsen the situation. Here’s a list of 10 things depression makes\r\nyou do. 1. Isolating yourself. Individuals with depression isolate themselves\r\nfor different reasons. Some will keep to themselves because they\r\nfeel overwhelmed socializing, and others believe it’s better to be alone. In other cases, the person may feel so much\r\nself-hatred that they prefer to not interact with people. Those with severe depression may even stay\r\nin their house for weeks. 2. Being disorganized. Depression leaves you feeling exhausted, so\r\ncleaning a room or home becomes an endeavor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nDirty dishes and clothes start piling up while\r\nyour garbage is overflowing the trash. It becomes an even bigger a physical challenge\r\nto walk around your room because everything is on the floor. Living in a cluttered place leaves you feeling\r\nuneasy, but the lack of energy doesn’t help. 3. Poor hygiene. Depression zaps all your energy. It’s difficult enough to get out of bed, so\r\nshowering, brushing your teeth, washing your hair and taking care of your body, it goes\r\nout the window.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThose without depression may see this behavior\r\nas lazy, but the truth is, showering or changing into clean clothes is exhausting and painful\r\nat times. 4. Struggling with sleep. Depression affects your sleeping schedule,\r\nsome of you may stay up and sleep very little. It keeps you up with your intrusive unwanted\r\nthoughts. These may end up making you feel anxious\r\nall through the night. In other cases, some of you will sleep excessively\r\nand still feel unrested. 5. Catastrophizing every situation. Depression plays tricks on your mind, making\r\nyou believe negative things. It can get to a point where you’re constantly\r\nlooking out for bad things to reassure your pessimistic thinking. Every time something bad happens, you use\r\nit as evidence to prove how bad life is.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/5833195\/pexels-photo-5833195.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/>\r\n\r\nThis slippery slope makes it difficult to\r\nsee life under a brighter light. 6. Terrible eating habits. Those with depression will either eat too\r\nmuch or hardly anything at all. Some of you may find yourself in the kitchen\r\neating everything in side, trying to eat away the emptiness or sadness you’re feeling while others don’t have an appetite and may even feel disgusted by food.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn other cases, some of you may feel so exhausted\r\nthat that thought of preparing a meal is overwhelming. 7. Lack of motivation. Depression steals your interests and desires\r\nright from under you. Your favorite pastimes and hobbies no longer\r\nsatisfy you, slowly you find yourself feeling dead and numb inside. If you aren’t careful you’ll end up staying\r\nin bed all day. 8. Evading your problems. Depression by itself is overwhelming, you\r\ncan feel devastated and out of control most days, so trying to face situations and problems\r\nhead-on is difficult enough.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nInstead you ignore or set the problem aside,\r\nand this in turn can bring trouble because it will continue to pile up. 9. Feeling guilty and feeling self-hatred. If you allow depression to take over your\r\nthoughts, then you’ll most likely feel self-hatred. You’ll continue to talk down to yourself and\r\nthis often leads to the development of self-esteem issues along with poor self-image, eventually\r\nyou’ll believe you aren’t worth it anymore. Some people with this mental disorder can\r\neven feel guilt by thinking all their problems are their fault. And 10: living in fear. People with depression fear that terrible\r\nthings will happen to them. In severe cases, some of you will sabotage a good situation, believing that it will turn bad. Other times individuals will reject opportunities\r\nand stop pursuing their dreams.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt’s a twisted way to protect yourself because\r\nthis prevents you from living and achieving amazing things.
