The effect of tourism on depression

By William ReevesPublished 5 years ago 4 min read

I think back to the things that have made me happy in the past ten years, only the time when I traveled to Tibet by bike. Other memories can be completely passed away. It is best for people with depression to get out of the environment that brings you depression. Then don't stay alone. If you stay alone, your brain will overthink. Then go on a trip if you can't stand it. Traveling really has a good positive effect on the treatment of depression. Especially the way of asceticism like the way we ride a bicycle, yes, I only think about it now, and now I know the reason after I wake up. I didn't even know that I was in depression before, and I didn't know what would make me so happy riding. A lot of exercise is very helpful to the improvement of anxiety and depression. Exercise plus travel, the effect brought by 1+1 is greater than 2. Every time the ride is over, that kind of mental outlook is particularly good. When I look in the mirror, I feel a lot better. Unlike when I was faint and insomnia when I was depressed, I felt frustrated when I looked in the mirror. I remember more than one netizen said that I was very yin.

I know that several travel bloggers have suffered from depression. Many of them get a good relief of depression through travel. Medication for depression can only play a supplementary role, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause. A rider I know, staying in the hospital for a month has no effect. He later went out to play and had a good time.

People with depression are all pessimistic and negative in their consciousness, and his subjective consciousness also feels that this is not good, but the brain can't stop at all. For example, there are many roads in front of him, and he has walked each road many times in his mind, and then every time he crosses, he will put the bad results in front of him. This road is a dead end. It's thorns, and there is a cliff in front of it. These bad associations are repeatedly entangled in the brain. This made him unable to execute. In fact, every road may be a broad road, try to walk, even if you can't get through, it doesn't matter if you look back.

At some point yesterday, when depression was over, my brain began to struggle with those painful things again. Thinking about it, a thought suddenly appeared in my mind. People with depression have very active brain thinking and too much imagination. Can you apply this ability to other fields, maybe it will bring you dividends. My heart suddenly brightened. I was still struggling with those painful things, and was immediately suspended, and the feeling of peace and joy in my heart spontaneously emerged. I remembered that doing stocks during this period was so smooth. Originally stock trading is a kind of behavioral psychology, and in many cases it is to make money for market sentiment. People with depression cannot control their emotions. I have learned too many useful methods, but none of them are strictly enforced in accordance with the rules. I can't control my emotions, I can't control my hands, and I should buy it if I shouldn't buy it. Because after experiencing great joy and great sadness, I am particularly sensitive to emotional changes, and my ability to regulate my emotions has become stronger. Buy when it's time to buy, sell when it's time to sell, and when it's time to go short, strictly enforce it. It's much smoother to do so. Everything has a good side. I'm not asking everyone to go stock trading! Cherish life and stay away from the stock market!

If you have a patient with depression, don’t keep talking about it, want to open up a little bit, and be more cheerful. These repeated prerequisites in front of him show that you don’t understand the disease, and this will not have any positive effect. , It is counterproductive. Because when you said this, you seemed to be accusing him. Taking the initiative to do it yourself is different from indoctrinating others.

Especially when making major decisions in life, it is best for people with depression not to make decisions alone, but to find someone to give you a reference. Because your negative emotions are irrational, making mistakes can really change the trajectory of a person's life. If you have a knot, it doesn't matter if you can't solve it. If you don't solve it and hang it in your heart, it will be like the sword of Damocles above your head, which will suffocate yourself.

People with anxiety and depression are often perfectionists. To put it bluntly, they are greed. When greed is not satisfied, there will be a gap in the heart. Take the issue of eating, for example. We eat to fight hunger. If hunger is a kind of pain, it will relieve the pain if you are not hungry. Why should we eat so full? Eating so full is a burden on the stomach and the body. It also grows fat and has to work hard to lose weight. This is a lot of harm but no benefit. So be abstinence and restrain desire. A lot of Chinese traditional culture, some Taoist and Buddhist methods are to train people's brain thinking, to subtract oneself, such as meditation, mindfulness, meditation, can also heal depression and anxiety, and psychological counseling can also bring people out of depression Anxiety, I hope my experience will help you!
