First of all know that It will take time for you to overcome Depression. It will not happen all of a sudden. donât force yourself to become normal like before. It will take time. Take it easy.
Its not at all bad to cry . yes ,when you cry you let your feelings out. So if you are feeling a sudden emotion , donât change it . let it come . You will feel better.
Talk to someone who is very close to you. If you donât have that someone , then talk to yourself . Have a discussion with your mind about your feelings . why you are feeling that ? Come to a conclusion part . do it daily.
Now listen to some good music. In starting days , its ok to listen to sad music but donât make it as your regular habit. Listen to rock music or Instrumentals. It will heal you from the inside.
When you feel stuck with your thoughts and feel like its too much , go and sleep. just take deep breaths and concentrate on them. your eyes will start feeling sleepy.
play with small kids or your pet. if you donât have a pet then feed some biscuits to street dogs. when you will see them eating , you will have a great feeling of satisfaction which will heal you because you will feel like you are the reason behind their happiness.
Go somewhere you have never been before . I will suggest you to go to some hill station or a historical place alone . It will help you in self exploration and you will have a feeling of being independent. Travelling is the best way to escape depression.
Now keep yourself busy. If you go to college or office , then you will be busy throughout the day time and after that, do an extra curricular activity. Like I have joined a Dance Academy. The Motto behind this is to make your brain feel tired and when you go to bed at night , you have no option left rather than sleeping.
Do shopping or watch good movies . I know boys donât like shopping as much like girls but they can buy something for there loved ones . Seriously its a good feeling.
Both are beta blockers . Both are okay. Escitalopram has been associated with ventricular arrhythmias. Please consult with psychiatrist to reduce doses of escitalopram.
Regarding cardiac medicines, it is advisable to seek opinion from a cardiologist. Regarding psychiatric medications, your treatment can be modified to help with the cardiac problem.
