Why do I feel depressed when I'm sick?
In my experience there are a few different reasons - or maybe I should say there are a few different kinds of depression - for feeling depressed when you're sick. First and most obvious is that you feel down because the illness is leaving you low-energy. Second, depending on the illness and your personality, your body is redirecting its resources to deal with the illness. your good mood is lower priority. Third is, possibly, that the illness leaves you in pain and pain makes you grumpy and irritable - irritability is one of the threshold symptoms of clinical depression. Fourth is that pain, illness, being home from work, fever, etc etc all rob you of some of your resilience. Resilience is the opposite of, or antidote to, depression. And Fifth - the last one I can think of right now - is that after the most acute parts of illness, when you're feeling like you're getting better but you're not better yet, you may have an expectation of feeling better or of doing more than is realistic for you at the moment. You want to be better faster. You want to be back at your "normal" and you're not ready yet. So getting a little better actually leaves you more bummed out than when you were too sick to care. note: I am not a doctor, just someone who's been depressed a lot.
Why do I feel depressed after yoga?
One could say that it is part of the natural process of purifying your mental state of being.Throughout our lives, we tend to harbor many unconscious physical habits and mental thoughts that shape how we experience life. Often we will avoid situations and people that make us feel uncomfortable. It is the same with our thoughts. We will tend to repress within ourselves, thoughts that make us feel dull and dark.Yoga is a practice that awakens our awareness and makes us more conscious of our body and mind. Therefore, it is natural during or after the practice that we are more ‘aware’ of feelings, thoughts and areas of the body that perhaps we were not so consciously in tune with before. Particularly if you’ve had depressing thoughts for many years, the practice will naturally seek to bring these thoughts to your attention as part of the process of “letting go”. It is purification, not just on a physical level, on a mental level also. Somewhere in your mind or body, you may have been ‘storing’ these thoughts and now it is time for these ‘thoughts’ to be mindfully examined and released with a sense of self-compassion.See if you can practice ‘witnessing’ the thoughts and feelings that arise after class without identifying them. Rather than thinking, “I feel bad” or “I feel depressed”, acknowledge the feelings for what they are, but do not tell yourself that “I” am feeling them. See the feelings as clouds, arising, but then passing away. As you continue to practice yoga, in given time, you will notice these feelings shift and evolve.In my early years of practice, I cried many times during yoga classes. I see in retrospect that this was part of releasing old emotional energy that had been ‘stored’ in my ‘unconscious’ state. I feel completely different after each class, but now, no matter what feeling arises, the practice of mindful detachment has helped me incredibly in life, both on and off the mat.Namaste.
Why do I feel depressed when I have my period?
(Pre-menstrual Syndrome) aka PMS depression is different from a woman to another. Basically, not every woman on earth suffers from it, but those who suffer are just getting so sharp pain miserably. On the other side, there is clinical depression, it just so happens to anyone on the planet any time, clinical depression can hit any woman unconditionally just like anyone else, and that is not linked to any feminine issues. In other words, PMS occurs in the first stage of the menstrual cycle, The difficulty with distinguishing between a woman who suffers from clinical or major depression vs. PMS is that about 70% of the women who do suffer from PMS depression and only about 15% of women who do not have PMS do have clinical depression. Clinical depression lasts much longer than two or three weeks, causes an overwhelming feeling of helplessness and frustration. (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder ) aka PMDD occurs in the two weeks prior to a woman’s period and then it is all gone. It also shows a decrease of symptoms as soon as the period starts flowing. There is a lot of distress, frustration, anxiety, anger, and irritability.A friend of mine -who’s a doctor- once mentioned that: the level of oestrogen and progesterone falls at the end of the menstrual cycle. oestrogen is believed to have a negative impact on the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that the body produces to make us feel good, happy, satisfied, etc.The question is: how to deal with this issue?. well, there are antidepressants used for this issue, and other less invasive drugs used as well. Fortunately, you can overcome it with non-pharmaceutical home recipes that can be easily used to eliminate this depression, such as herbals, supplements, and vitamins (you can consult with a doctor about that, don’t take anything randomly). There are lots of food to avoid when you’re suffering from depression, for instance; caffeine, salt, soft drinks, dairy products, and alcohol.There are mental tips you can follow. Like Yoga, it is so useful because it blends together exercise, meditation and relaxation all into one activity. It is very effective for any type of depression regardless of source.P.s: all this information is based on my knowledge of depression and mental health, I am not a doctor nor psychologist.
Why do i feel so depressed after drinking?
This is your mind going "DRINKING IS NOT FOR YOU", but you are ignoring it. And so is everyone you know and likely everyone you will ever meet as well, and I certainly didn't. Listen to your mind. We think we are all that and we are always showing off to each other on the eternal competition that will never end how much fun and how brilliant we can be, but almost nobody ever listens to their minds. Your mind is not a party pooper by the way, your mind is your friend, but you are ignoring it. It says "drinking is not good for us". And it is saying that for a very good reason - you have other things in your subconscious that you want to do that you are more interested in than drinking. You ignore what your subconscious wants, you ignore your mind, an ignored mind = a tired/emotionally wrecked mind. The peer pressure of drinking, the fear is you quit drinking/you lose your friends, and that may very well happen, but the ones you lose, you'll be happy to lose. Your mind doesn't want to do this anymore - it wants to get started on other things IT REALLY WANTS because those things are what YOU REALLY WANT. The more you ignore, the harder it is to remember, the harder it is to see clearly. But you are never out of time, the longer you ignore the harder it is but it is never ever impossible. Get whatever help you need if you think you need help but you can do all this by yourself, you didn't always drink, you just got older in a society where drinking = acceptance, but it is not what you want. I like drinking too, but I like not drinking more. I'm actually getting started on things I want to do in my life and getting there. I am no one special, I just realized one day that I was doing all the things my mind was saying "you don't want to do that Dave". So I stopped, and as Scott says - it does get easier. This is just the psychology of why. Your brain is a part of you, in charge of every mental function you have, and it wants to be listened to.

And a week or two before exam you start wondering, what you are gonna do with your life if you fail or donot score good marks. There is peer pressure, societal pressure, ego etc. which aggravate this feeling.It’s anxiety if you have prepared well for the exam and you feel like you cannot recall whatever you have studied so far.

Why do I feel depressed/sad after I shower or swim?
So yeah. There you have it. Why do I feel depressed/sad after I shower or swim? I mean, it's not the fact that I'm touching water otherwise I'd wash my hands and feel sad afterwards and that's definitely not the case. I've even been swimming with friends before and though I'm a little sad sometimes - I only seem to get sad when my full body's immersed in water. I've tried researching about this, but nothing helps. What's the problem here? Or is this actually fairly common?
Why do I feel depressed after eating a banana?
Weird - they're full of B vitamins and are meant to prevent depression because they raise serotonin levels. Maybe your serotonin levels are already high and you overdosed???
