My heart sank as I read the facing
crisis among Latina Adolescents with depression and suicide. It wasn’t a shock
considering other statistics including The Harvard School of Public Health stating
that in 2020, the leading cause of death and disability will be heart disease
and severe depression. In 1990, it was respiratory infections and diarrheal
disease. Another research states the present generation of children is more
troubled than the last generation of children. While Intelligence Quotient is
rising, the Emotional Quotient is declining and children are feeling more
lonely and depressed, more nervous and prone to worry. Dios mio.
There is hope! I promise! I should be a statistic considering depression ran in my DNA. By faith and better choices, I went from darkness and sadness to light and happiness! So can you or anyone you know who suffers with depression.
If the person has a chemical imbalance like I did, supplements or medication can help. I believe there is a stigma in our culture about anti-depressants; we need to let people know it is okay to be on medication. Diabetics have insulin.
I personally got off anti-depressants over 10 years ago as I fully realized I am divine. Accepting and loving yourself is jet fuel for making the colossal shift from sadness to happiness!
I mentioned that in the beginning I needed medication to get my brain chemistry balanced. As my chemistry was healing, I began meditating, taking vitamins, exercising, eating right and most importantly thinking life enhancing thoughts. By having a healthier life style and changing my beliefs, my life changed and I got off medication.
For anyone you know who could use a blast of love here it comes! By reading these life-enhancing words when I am feeling the quicksand of depression, I begin to see the truth again. I am divine!
You are
wonderfully made. You are special. You were made on purpose for a purpose. You
are not a mistake. You are loved! Your presence is required. Life is for
you! Everything is your teacher. There
are no failures, only learnings.
Live
from your heart and your dreams, not your fears. You were born to succeed. Rest
assured that your gene pool, past or environments do not define you - your
choices do. Every choice counts. Stop all forms of choosing against you. Have
faith. You are a masterpiece. The very hairs on your head are counted.
Every
step is prepared. It’s all just tweaking. Allow your life to be fun! There are
no brownie points for suffering. Lighten up! Live and share from your gifts,
not your wounds.
Your
every thought has power. Change your thoughts, change your world. No one holds
you hostage but your own thoughts. You are far more powerful than you can
imagine!
Big huge gigantic hug! And remember, you ARE
loved!
