WHEN YOUR FEARS AND DEPRESSION HAVE THE BEST OF YOU
By Stan Popovich
What do you do when your fears and depression are stronger than what you can handle?
There are times that no matter what you do, your fears have the best of you. Here is a list of techniques and
suggestions on what to do when this happens.
The first step is to learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the
rest of the week, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things
and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. You never know when the answers you are looking for will
come to your doorstep. We may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that
one percent to make a world of difference.
When a person is feeling depressed, he or she should take a few minutes to write down all of the things that he
is thankful for in his life. This list could include past accomplishments and all the things that that they take
for granted. The next time you feel depressed, review your list and think about the good things that you have in
your life.
Remember that there is one power that is stronger than your fears and depression and that is the power of God. A
person does not have to be religious to use the power of God. When the going gets tough, talk to God about your
problems as if you were talking to a friend. Review the Bible and pray hard. Be persistent and be open in the
avenues that God may provide to you in solving your problem. It is not always easy, however God is in control and
he will help you if you ask him.
If you decide to use the services of a professional, get into the habit of reviewing with your counselor what
techniques work for you and which ones don’t. Dealing with your fears takes practice so use this situation as a
learning experience in improving your skill sets. In every anxiety-related situation you experience, begin to learn
what works and what doesn’t work in managing your fears and anxieties.
As a Layman, I realize it is not easy to deal with all of our fears, however there are all kinds of help
available. The key is to be patient and not to give up. In time, you will be able to find those resources that will
help you with your problems.
