The Real Causes Of Depression
Most experts who write about the causes of depression usually provide a list with the following items:
- family history of depression
- Marital or relationship problems
- alcohol or drug abuse
- Loneliness
- Unemployment or underemployment
- Early childhood trauma or abuse
- Financial strain
- Lack of social support
- Recent stressful life experiences
- health problems or chronic pain
Too bad they get it all wrong. These various stress factors have been a part of many people's lives and they never got depressed over them. The above items can certainly cause hardship and suffering, but that doesn't mean it turns into depression.
Now of course, childhood abuse and some of those other factors certainly don't help you live a healthy life. But that's not really causing the depression.
I'm not a doctor. However, I went through severe depression. For decades. I ended it completely, and I'll show you how to end it completely, too.
First, though, let's look at the real depression cause.
You've got a flow of emotion. A flow of feeling, and a flow of thought. Raw, unadulterated thought and feeling. (An emotion, by the way, is simply a package of thoughts and feelings.)
And from the raw thought and feeling energy, we create our actual thoughts that we think and feelings we feel. But we've been taught and conditioned to believe feelings are wrong and bad and we shouldn't even have them. So while it's okay to think, there's no need to feel.
Or at least keep the feelings under control. And don't feel a whole lot. And whatever you do, make sure you don't feel your feelings with intensity.
At first, we only try to close down the 'bad' feelings - the distressing ones.
"Big boys don't cry."
"Good girls don't get mad."
However, that's only the starting point.
The problem is, you can't really shut out certain feelings while letting other ones through. Because all feelings travel on the same pathway. Crimping a garden hose restricts the entire flow. Same thing here.
We want to not feel certain emotions, but instead we're constricting all of them.
Emotions are the source of our power. They're the source of our aliveness. everything about you starts shutting down when you don't feel your feelings. But you keep feeling worse and worse, and you don't know why. You think the feelings are what's making you feel pain.
But in actuality, it's when you don't feel the feelings that pain starts. It is painful not to feel. It takes effort and work on your part. You have to make up stories about your emotions.
The stories are like little structures that impede or block the flow of feelings. These structures end up being the exact cause of emotional pain in our lives.
Also, your heart wants to feel your feelings. However, it is being denied. When your heart wants to feel, but you won't let it, that's going to create emotional pain.
So where does the depression come in? What causes the actual depression here?
Depression is the absence of feelings. When you block your feelings, eventually it leads to depression. The problem is, we keep making the problem worse because we think it's the feelings that make us feel bad. But in reality it's the structures that block our feelings which become like little pain factories. Plus, it's the absence of feelings in our heart.
The cause of depression comes from blocking your true feelings - step by step - until we lose the aliveness that feelings give you. So technically, the loss of aliveness causes the depression.
Here's the thing:
Your heart wants to feel. Period. And it's painful when you don't let it. So the obvious solution is to start letting your heart do its job. To get all the details, visit this web page on the causes of depression.
