Multiple traumas and neglect in childhood left me with complex PTSD and no self-worth. At age 27 I had a psychological crisis that was followed by 35 years of depression. I tried hard every single day of those years to learn how to live a happy life.
My 4 Step Proprietary System to Get Out of Depression
Because I didn’t have good role models of what it’s like to live a good life, I had absolutely no idea how to do it for myself. I just tried everything I could think of. I read every self-help book I could find, started running five miles a day, and changed my diet. I quit smoking marijuana and tobacco. I quit drinking. I talked to every kind of therapist and mental health professional, and in 1998 I joined a meditation group based on Ancient Wisdom.
Some things helped more than others, and over 35 years I gradually did figure out how to live a good life. I built a successful business, formed new relationships, and discovered joys of being alive I never knew existed. A few years ago my friends and family started coming to me for advice. I can honestly say that one day in my life now is worth all the years of my suffering.
I realized anybody could use what I learned to get out of depression, so I developed a 4 Step Proprietary Method called G-O-O-D, which stands for “Get Out Of Depression”. This is the 4 Step GOOD Method of getting out of depression:
- Responsibility — The problems in your life may not be your fault, but it’s your responsibility to deal with them. We need to take responsibility for everything in our lives.
- Mindfulness — Our thoughts create our feelings and emotions, so we need to control our thoughts. Mindfulness helps us control our thoughts, and focus on the positive side of things. We still know the negatives are there, we just don’t pay them as much attention.
- Self-Esteem — When you feel good about yourself you feel better about everything. Finding your personal power enables you to stand up for yourself, feel safe, and enjoy life’s great pleasures.
- Resilience — You need to be good at getting out of depression every time it tries to come back.
An Experienced Guide
I know what it’s like to be very unhappy for a long time. And I learned there’s no need for anybody to live like that. Please talk to someone who’s been where you are now and recovered. And keep talking to people like that until you find someone you’re comfortable with.
It took me 35 years to recover because I did it alone. You can do it much faster.
An experienced guide will make sure you avoid all the years I spent trying to figure out vague generalities I read in books about what should work, and take you straight to specific actions that work in the real world.
Do You Have High-Functioning Depression?
If you’re keeping your life together but are tired of the struggle, you may have high-functioning depression. I encourage you to never give up on living a joyful life. Know that you can be confident and strong, feeling good about yourself and the world, and making your life however you want it to be.
