Introduction
One of the main issues empaths face is depression. This is a really crippling emotional state to be in, and it can literally bring your life to a standstill.
It wasn't too many years ago when those of us who suffered depression had to suffer in silence and just put up with it.
Often, we were told to:
Get over it.
Not to be silly.
It was all in our mind.
There was no reason to be depressed.
Stop being a wet blanket
…amongst other things.
Fact was, and is, as empaths, we are very, very susceptible to depression and it's not our fault.
Now, that doesn't mean we can't do something about it, though and this is what this article will be about.
Being aware of the reasons why we feel a particular way can be very helpful. Often, I find that is half the battle. I also recommend using Bach Flower Remedies, which help restore the balance and can stop depression affecting us.
I wish there was just one cause for depression. I really do. It would make things so much easier. You could then just take the one remedy, pill, maybe meditate, or what have you, but the simple fact is that there are quite a few causes and we will explore them one by one.
For some type of depression, I have added a checklist at the start. That way, if you find you can relate to the points mentioned, you can read the section and see if it relates to you.
This is a work in progress, and I will add more as I gain additional insights and information.
