Everything You Need To Know About Depression Affirmations

Anti-depression affirmations are invariably important tools in fighting this “cancer.”

These affirmations draw you out of hopelessness and sadness.

They keep you awake and distracted from the demons of depression.

Depression is a major cause of many deaths annually. This is because it is the broadest way to suicide.

According to WHO, over 700 000 persons die annually worldwide by suicide.

How do depression-positive affirmations work?

According to Carrie C. Mead, the brain is predominantly networked to relay more negative thoughts than positive ones.

But then, through deliberate efforts, one can rewire this network and bring about more positive reviews.

Positive affirmations are the best ways to tackle this phenomenon.

Through affirming good thoughts, you tend to distract your reasoning from the initial act of relaying negativity over positivity.

Here is the point.

People who suffer from depression are constantly battling with their thoughts.

Negative thoughts erode their minds, and they fight to get them off.

Now, that is an extreme case for the initial network of the brain to relay more negative thoughts.

But through positive affirmations, one can shift their thoughts away from the negativities and focus more on their conscious positive affirmations.

The essence of the exercise is to distract the mind from clouding sufferers with negative thoughts that tend to drive them crazy.

How helpful are these affirmations?

Depression positive affirmations help you fight depression by:

• Helping you build a stronger inner being that is self-reliant
• Providing you with options for happiness and healthier living
• Giving you a better sense of living
• Encouraging you to improve yourself and tackling your issues
• Helping you evaluate your life and restoring your self-confidence
• Lifting your mood
• Intimating your subconscious with your wishes for a better living.
• Facilitating your struggles to free yourself from negative thoughts
• Helping you fight anxieties and replacing them with confidence and trust.

These affirmations keep you conscious of the dangers of allowing yourself to remain in the circus of depression.

Your utterances register with your subconscious mind and make it difficult to process more negative thoughts than positive ones.

Over time, your subconsciousness begins to understand that you are rooting for a change in your thoughts and actions and, thus, consent to your quest.

Does this make any sense to you? I bet it should.

Postpartum depression Affirmations 

One of the commonest causes of depression is postpartum depression.

It is a major form of depression that, if not treated, deteriorates to severe depression.

Ordinarily, postpartum depression is a form of anxiety influenced by the changes in the mother’s body system(estrogen and progesterone hormones) between the gestation and post-delivery period.

But there is another dimension to it: it affects men who neither carried nor delivered a baby.

Here is the bottom line.

Postpartum depression is a reverse correctional process that balances the changes that occur during pregnancy and after childbirth.

This leads to panic that, when not checked, transforms into depression.

Just like OCD, you are continuously compelled to look out for the baby’s safety, and you as well get obsessive with negative thoughts about yourself, the baby, and the people around you.

Positive affirmations help bring the parents’ minds to the reality of their responsibilities.

It tends to acquaint them with the truth and allows them to put delusional thoughts aside.

By constantly reciting these affirmations, you reassure yourself of your ability to care for the baby and the baby’s safety.

It assures you that you are doing the right thing and that the baby is getting the best care you can provide. That goes a long way in distracting you from thoughts of insecurity or weaknesses.

2. My baby is getting the best attention she needs
3. I am not in competition with other parents
4. No one is trying to hurt my baby or me
5. I am a good Dad
6. I am providing my family with the financial and security support I can offer
7. This is just a period that will pass
8. You are not alone in this
9. God is in charge of the situation.
10. I remain the best person I was before becoming a mother.
