Self Help

Well, now I am on a mission to work through my depression after writing fifty articles on the subject. Throughout my writing process, I have covered every subject imaginable nearly on the topic depression. The process brought me to a conclusion however, which includes testing skills in how to manage and conquer depression. In other words, I am going to increase your stress level a bit by providing you a test that will help you conclude if you can manage and conquer your depression. Do not fret, since the test is not intended to challenge your mentality or intellect, rather it is a test to help you see that your human skills can help you manage and conquer depression. I figure if I am stressed out, and a little depressed, that I might as well pick on you. Just kidding! A sense of humor can always help in bringing you out of a mood.

The purpose of the test is to find your skills. Once you decide if you agree, or disagree, think about your answer.

Test: You can agree or disagree:
If a person puts in his mind that he can overcome sadness, he can do it.

If you agreed to the first question, you are correct, since the power of the mind can help us move sadness from our minds.

If you agree to the second question, thus it is true. If you make a mistake, you are responsible. However, all of us make mistakes.

If you agreed to the third question, then you need to become familiar with your discomfort zones, thus working to find relaxation in discomfort, since it is a part of life.

If you disagreed with the fourth question, then you are doing ok since you do have control of your moods and emotions.

If you answered agree to the fifth question, then again you are right. The important thing is life is, liking yourself and not worrying about what other people think of you.

Fear is not punishment and punishment is not fear. Rather, if you are receiving harsh punishment, then it is fear. Otherwise, punishment is a tool to help you learn and grow.

If you find it difficult to disagree with other people’s opinion when they lack facts to support their claims, then you need to read articles on building leadership qualities.

Most problems are fixable, thus small problems should not be a worry, unless it presents potential risks or dangers.

If you agree that we are all slaves to society, thus you are correct, since all of us are slaves in some form or another. Check out what it means to be a slave.

If you prefer others to make decisions for you, then you need to read leadership qualities, and learn to cultivate your mind.

If you agree to the last question then quit making problems when no problems exist.
