How To Cure Your Depression


How To Cure Your Depression

            Depression is a mental disorder that often occurs throughout the world. It is also a major cause of suicide which takes hundreds of thousands of lives each year. According to Association of Indonesian Mental Health Specialists, 3.7% of the population in Indonesia experiencing depression, which is almost 9 million people. However, there are ways to cure depression naturally without going to the doctor.

            The first step is doing meditation. A recent study revealed that meditation is more effective in relieving major depression than medicine. Meditation is a mind-calming technique. It will make our mind clear, peaceful and focus on something. To get rid of stress that arises everyday, set aside 30 minutes every day and find a quiet place. Turn off the smartphone and close your eyes. Adjust breath, and focus. Don't think of anything. You can also try to focus on one word, or imagine yourself in a peaceful place. By doing the meditation will help us to calm our bodies and get positive energy.

            The next step is talking about the problems to the people you trust. This can benefit you in many ways. Expressing the contents of your mind and what is happening in life also getting a response can help you see things from a different perspective. Talking about what you feel can also provide a solution. But most importantly, you get emotional support from other people. For those who are introverted, opening up can be awkward at first. But don't let that feeling overwhelm you. Open yourself to get input, suggestions, even help from others.

            Last but not least, trying to do new things will cure your depression slowly. Many people tend to feel horrible during depression. This feels even harder when we don't have the ability to concentrate or make important decisions. That's why, it's important for us to try new and different things. "When we challenge ourselves to do something new, there are changes in chemical compounds in the brain" (Cook, Ian). Try new things to change dopamine levels related to pleasure, and learning. Go to a new place, learn a new language, read a new book, and other things you have been wanting to try for a long time.

            In conclusion, there are various ways to treat depression, one of the way iis doing meditation, another way is talking to the closest friend, and the other way is trying out to do new things. In avoiding depression, always think positively about what happened and experienced, do useful activities, and remember that you are loved.

My 3rd Semester

My 3 rd Semester In the third semester, I felt very comfortable. My classmates are very friendly, so I'm not too difficult to adjust with them. They are also good and like to help each other in the lesson. When I did not understand about the lesson, I will ask and discuss it with my friend. In the third semester, I also just got to know the lesson called linguistic and literature. At first I had a hard time because I had not gotten a picture of the lesson. Then, I learned that linguistics was more focused on memorization, and literature focusing more on practice. In my opinion the most difficult lesson is grammar, because if we don't understand the lesson we will also have difficulties in writing, reading, and etc. Sometimes I have difficulties to divide time to study between one lesson and another.

They can be relaxed after the class, they can go to anywhere they want, and they also can work part time. In fact, learning in university makes me busier than I was in the school. Moreover most of the assignment is more complicated. There are some differences between learning in University and in the school.                 When studying in University, I am required to be self-learning. Most of the lecturer usually only teach about the basic of the materials. If we do not study by ourselves and only based on what lecturer give to us, we will get nothing. Besides, sometimes lecturer have asked to the student read before enter in the class. Then in the class is only to discuss about the difficulties, the lecturer only answer the question fr...
