Suggest Treatment For Constant Boredom And Depression

Brief Answer:
There is need to manage stress effectively

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and impressed with your insight about persistent boredom and state of depression.
In fact your query is quite clear to indicate why you are facing this problem despite having a high self esteem and fulfilling life in past.

First and foremost there is need to effectively tackle stress which is eating your life. I am making few suggestions below which I hope will be useful;l for you.

1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber. Proper diet does miracles and rejuvenates. Orange is good source of anti-oxidants. Avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza, burgers and excessive sweets.

2. Ensure adequate water intake: Recommended intake of water is 2 to 3 liter a day. Insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in causation of symptoms.

3. Early morning Exercise: Brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in garden will be very helpful. Walking is the best exercise, it also promotes release of Endorphins( naturally occurring pain killers released in brain) which causes mood elevation and generalized feeling of well being. Make it a daily habit and incorporate in your lifestyle.


4. Avoid tea/coffee/ nicotine and alcoholic beverages: If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water.

5. Start your day with a glass of Lemon water with 2 spoons of honey added.

6. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs.
The work pressure is high: Call it a day, take a short leave and hit out to picnic spot which you always wanted to go with your family and/or friends.

7. While working take frequent regular breaks: Taking regular breaks will not waste the time, but it will definitely increase the productivity, concentration and reasoning. Take break for 5 minutes every 30 minutes.


8. Avoid starring for longer time at the computer screen or TV for longer time

9. Steam inhalation before going to sleep will be very refreshing

10. Multivitamin and Calcium supplement.

I hope this will help you to certain extent.

Brief Answer:
Seek help from professional (psychologist) in your city

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I understand all your points and if want me to sum up there is more points in favor of self critical. From my personal experience I know that most people who are self critical have many positive attributes which they fail to recognize. We all are aware that every coin have two sides and recognising both sides are important.


The same thing is applicable for you. Being self critical is ok for some extent but if it is excessive it leads to problem of depression and decreased work output.

In your scenario I will like to advise cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which helps to mata rational attribution to your thoughts and replaces negative thoughts with positive one. Please locate a psychologist in your city who practices CBT.

I am of the view that above mentioned therapy is most useful considering your thoughts pattern and lack of social support.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
Being self critical is part of us and not an anomaly

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

First of all I like to inform you that being self critical is part of us and essential part of thought process. It is the excess of being self critical that is problematic.

I do not mean that self critical is a problem itself but in your case they are dominating your though process and that comes under excess.

It is not the root cause of problems but your mental makeup along with circumstances giving the problems. As we do not have control over circumstances to a large extent we need to change the part which we can do easily and that is our though process.

Problem areas are many but it is not clear whether they are consequences of something else or root cause. For example having inertia is common for all of us and may occur nomally. But in your case it may be due to circumstances, fear of failure, unable to recognize own strengths but it is also possible that current circumstances are result of inertia. This can be conclusively said after hours of mental exploration under guidance of professional psychologist/psychiatrist.

I think I summarized already in last answer and above paragraph.

There is nothing wrong with your thought process. Everyone have their own thinking but if it causes any problem in working in academic, occupational and social life is considered abnormal. Since you are finding difficulty with your work these days due to irrational ear,there is lack of social life, adamant behavior, confusion over ongoing things and may be lot more. These things which hampering your work need to bring under check.

Generally people with this kind of thought process are prone to mood disorders particularly depression.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
