Depression is a very debilitating experience, making the sufferer sink into the depths of despair and hopelessness. At such times, life is entirely meaningless. Depression whispers the fact that you are a total failure and will never amount to anything in life.
This dominant negative emotion has driven many to become alcoholics and violent individuals, and there is no shortage of news about people seeking suicide as the only way out of depression.
Failure, on the other hand, may be defined as the dearth of success, though that definition may not apply to you. It could be anything work-related, but it is usually a mistake that makes you start feeling incompetent. But failure may be defined as letting yourself down in many ways; in business or personal way of life.
Failure can also take an emotional toll on you, and these negative feelings may lead you to fall into depression. Most of the time, however, people who fail tend to bottle up their feelings while allowing the creeping negativity to cloud their minds.
But no matter how dark the night becomes, there is always daybreak to look forward to. No matter how dark a tunnel is, there will still be light at its end.
Here are some of the ways you can use to get out of depression and failure, thus getting your groove back and getting on with a life full of zest and hope:
Set some time aside
It is completely fine to hit rock bottom, everyone does at one time or the other in life. But do not ignore whatever happened. Therefore, set aside some time to vent your feelings. It is advised that you take yourself off to somewhere private so that your friends or family don’t bear the brunt of your feelings. It could be as little as an hour, or it may take several days.
Talk about the situation
It is vital that you take the load off yourself by talking to someone about it. It is no longer a secret that talking about issues tends to make depressive people feel better. It is better to find a specialist who will help you to feel better after you have poured out your mind. But even if the person you are talking to is not a psychoanalyst or specialist, it will do you a lot of good to divest yourself of the information that has beclouded your mind.
Never allow it to be part of your personality
Just because you failed at achieving success at a particular endeavor is not enough to label yourself a failure. There is a weak and blurry line between making mistakes and the person that makes mistakes. Only our actions define us, and not our failures. It is the actions you follow that takes you past shortcomings towards success that defines you at the end of the day.
Watch Steem price
This can get you out of depression and failure, of course Steem has to be over $4.

I had Anxiety and Depression for a year. I'm still anxious but not depressed anymore.
I thought everything is cancer. when I felt in my body and whenever I was sick I thought it was the worst thing possible.
I thank god that I started seeing Psychologist, It cost a lot of money, but how can you price your mental health? even if it was 10x expensive I would have still go.
I started taking Sertraline as well which helped me a lot!! I'm still taking it but I'm going to lower the dosage soon.
I even wrote a whole post about my anxiety and depression, what it cause me and how I dealt with it. it's a really important thing to talk about.
So thank u for that.

Hi @jwolf, nice article about "Depression & Anxiety"
There's no one proven way that people recover from depression, and it's different for everyone. However, there are a range of effective treatments and health professionals who can help you on the road to recovery. It's important to remember that recovery can take time, and just as no two people are the same, neither are their recoveries. Be patient and go easy on yourself. Treatment of patient is treated as following:
Psychology Treatment, Medical Treatment, Family Assistance.
Steem price is also a factor to release depression when today it was $ 6.43
I am glad you liked it! You should be happy as Steem grew again!
Solid content @jwolf! I strongly agree with you that simply because you might have a history of depression, nothing is gained by identifying yourself as depressed person and thus putting that label on yourself.
And also haha, laughed so hard reading that last Steemit price advice 😂 In other words, if you want to cheer a Steemian user up today tell them to take a look at the price ;)
Otherwise, if you're into travelling, fitness, self-development etc feel free to check out my channel, in any case keep up the good work and I'll see you around!💯
I am glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your comment!
Thank you so much for this and i am definitely resteeming so people can learn from it. Sure, failure most times lead to depression and having bottled so much in without venting or a friend to relate it with could be really damaging. More reason we should stay close to people who matter to us and ease the burden on anyone who is close to us that has hit rock bottom. A little bit of care, love, support and assurances would help a whole lot too. We all need to know sometimes that everything will be fine and whatever it is that happened won't make people think too less of us. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for your support!
Very beautiful and inspirational words indeed about Failure and Success of Life. I do agree with your point. Pnly one thing I would liketp add:
Nurturing and atmosphere is one big reason after a failure either an individual will rise and shine again or not.
Thanks for your precious thoughts @jwolf. Keep sharing and Stay Blessed!

With depression we can't achieve anything, to overcome depression try to be positive in every difficult situation, specially in decision making process, with calm and relaxed environment we can make better decisions.
Thanks @jwolf for amazing and motivational post.
Thank you foryour support and comment!
Depression comes after someone starts feeling human . The individ sees only the evil or bad it is in him and can not see what is good . We are always seeing what we have done wrong and start to feel useless for the world and for the people around us .
Stop thinking bad about yourself and live a happy life.
You are right! Thank you!

Dealing with depression is not easy as you think, many people including my self are trying to save ourselves, i personally when I depressed I will talk to my God and telling him about all of my problems i don't know i just feel like it's working, but if you don't believe in God i think you have to find someone i mean your bestfriends or someone that really close to you and then tell your problems they might not help you, but you'll be fine, trust me.
I thank you also for your comment! Just be happy!
Lovely post @jwolf. As someone who has seen people take their own life as a result of depression it is good to see people take the Illness seriously and offer real advice as to how it can be managed.
This is a different turn from your usual material. Keep it up. 👍

Excellent post very much needed depression can caught anyone
Unfortunately the depression is more and more frequent those days, mainly because we are not happy with who we are and we would like to be someone else, mostly tv stars.
Talking to friends and getting out of the house will always help.
