A Zodiac Guide To Dealing With Depression

Aug 03, 2018

Not everyone experiences depression in the same way, but depression is always a terrible experience for those who suffer from it. People fall into depression for different reasons, and different things may also help them recover from depression. If you are suffering from depression, you should see a doctor. Medication may treat or cure your depression. However, in addition to seeing a doctor, you might also think about who you are and how you can live life in a way that is consistent with your values. Although the following should not be substituted for medical advice, your zodiac sign could be one key to controlling your depression.

It takes a lot for an Aries to succumb to depression. If you are an Aries, you thrive off challenge. Aries also rely on their instincts. However, if an Aries is taught to be overly cautious and set those instincts aside, depression could be the result. An Aries must stay in touch with that fire within.

The Taurus is an earth sign, and Tauruses long to remain grounded. Usually, Tauruses resist depression because their emotions tend to be as steady as everything else about them. Tauruses who do fall into a depression can often fight back by indulging in some earthly pleasures. A hot bath, a good meal or other sensual experiences may help.

Geminis are endlessly interested in the world around them, and diving deep into their interests is one of the best ways fr them to stave off depression. One weakness of Geminis is an unwillingness to dig deep and deal with pain. However, the sooner this is done, the less chance there is that the depression will linger.

Unlike the first few signs on this list, Cancers do have a tendency to become depressed. They can easily start to believe that others do not care about them. Furthermore, the one thing Cancers often do to try to address their depression is exactly the wrong move. Cancers can be overly dependent upon others, but if they give themselves a chance to solve their problems on their own, they may discover they are much stronger than they imagined.

Ruled by the sun, most Leos are as bright as that planetary body. Unfortunately, that can be deceptive. Leos often will not tell others when they are feeling down and will instead hide it under a cheerful demeanor. Instead of suffering in silence, Leos should try opening up.

The busy bees of the zodiac, Virgos rarely slow down long enough to feel depressed. They tend to think that people who do become depressed are simply not pushing themselves hard enough. For Virgos, hard work and productivity may be the key to lifting themselves out of depression.

For Libras, thought usually rules over intellect. Spending time with loved ones and talking about current events can sometimes help them combat depression. Libras also should guard against relying on partners to create a sense of self and should strive for independence.

Scorpios have a high likelihood of falling into a depression. They are the opposite of Libras, the most feeling sign in the zodiac. They tend to overinvest in their relationships, and they can become depressed if those relationships are not going well. There's nothing wrong with feeling things intensely, but Scorpios should learn to manage their emotions so they are not overwhelmed by them.

This is another of the sunny, positive signs. Optimistic Sagittarians often excel at helping other people out of bad moods. While they do get depressed, they are generally able to pull themselves back out of it with their cheerful outlook.

Capricorns also may suffer from depression more than other signs of the zodiac. Capricorns do not always feel entirely safe in the world, and this can stop them from making needed changes. Sometimes the only remedy for a Capricorn is to do the frightening thing and trust that while nothing in life is certain, most of the time, things do turn out fine.

Mentally strong and fully engaged with the world, the Aquarius does not often suffer from depression. However, they do feel misunderstood a lot of the time because often others are not on the same level that they are. Depression that arises from this is usually quickly shaken off.

Like a Leo, a Pisces doesn't want others to know about a struggle with depression. A Pisces works hard to please everyone, and this is often the root of the depression. If you are a Pisces, you need to be careful that you do not make yourself a martyr and that you take care of your own wants and needs.
