About a month before becoming depressed, I began to feel fatigued. I had started a window company called, "The Energy Doctor" which brought in excellent cash flow. Because the product was not yet perfected, there were many dissatisfied customers and warranty claims. My bank manager had recently commented that "The Energy Doctor" was proving rather lucrative. I felt I made a wise business decision when I decided to sell this company at a slight profit. Shortly afterward, I perceived the sale of this business as a dreadful mistake. I thought that the bank manager would soon realize that my cash flow had decreased and subsequently call the loan. For several months, I spent a tremendous amount of energy trying mentally to turn back the clock and undo the sale.
The same thing happens when a parent has neglected a child whom, for example, runs into the road and is killed by traffic. The parent spends energy trying to turn back the clock. This stress fuels' depression.
Depression is a result of external pressure and weighing down, change the way you think, and you will change the way you feel.
