Even when I'm feeling well after I get depressed, I'm worried that I'll have another depression.
By the way, "depression", "depression" and "anxiety" have a negative image after all, but on the contrary, people who tend to be depressed have an artistic sense or feel anxiety about their behavior. There is also a positive aspect of being able to prepare.
No, I don't need an artistic sense, so I'd like to get rid of depression, but I can't help but be patient with depression.
For that reason, if you can accept depression and anxiety, you will have high self-esteem and your life will improve.
Study of social minorities and low self-esteem
In a study of 707 people at the University of Manchester, he conducted a questionnaire on "Have you ever acted in a self-destructive manner?" And a survey of self-esteem.
Self-destructive behavior is behavior that ruins you, such as self-harm or attempted suicide.
What's a little strange is that 109 out of 707 people gathered LGBTQ people . People who are sexual minorities and feel social minorities.
As a result, 35% of LGBTQ people answered that they had self-destructive behavior.
On the other hand, that was 14% for non-LGBTQ people, which means that LGBT people were about 2.2 times more self-destructive than those who did not .
And what was common to those who were doing that self-destructive activity was "low self-esteem . "
It was found that low self-esteem reduces life satisfaction and is prone to problems, and that people who feel social minorities such as LGBT tend to have low self-esteem.
The study focuses on LGBTQ, but I think the same applies to anyone who feels a social minority.
We, people with mental illness such as depression, and people with physical disabilities, as well as foreigners living in Japan and half-people who live while feeling stressed by social minorities, said, "I am compared to other people. If you think "I'm inferior" or "I'm different (in a bad way)" and I can't accept myself, my self-esteem will be low and I'll end up with actions and thoughts that hurt me.
Accepting depression and anxiety and increasing self-esteem will improve your life
I was just thinking about denying myself, "I don't want to get sick like this", "I want to die", "I want to disappear and disappear", and "I should have been born".
So that caused my self-esteem to drop sharply and plummet, and my self-esteem fell to the bottom of hell.
But in reality, it's not that you're bad at getting depressed. Depression is a "disease" that everyone can get.
With a cold, with cancer, with falling and injuring, with the possibility of dying in an accident.
So, accepting it as it is and becoming depressed, as I wrote at the beginning, there are times when I have an artistic sense , and I am neither positive nor negative, but a life-size evaluation. So, it's good to feel like you can say that this is you.
Be kind to yourself and deal with yourself with a compassionate heart.
You are the one who has the longest relationship with you, and you are the one who has the longest contact with you.
If you are kind to yourself, you will be kind to yourself.
If you can deal with anxiety and depression well in that way, your suffering should be reduced.
