Depression and anxiety disorders are widespread, serious conditions that threaten our ability to be happy, to relax, and to experience joy. When you are physically injured, you know something is wrong because you feel pain. So it is with depression and anxiety. The signs that point to these conditions can help you see that something within you (or within your life) needs healing-and that "something" may have emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual roots.
Chronic fatigue expert Dr. James F. Jones, with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently told Psychology Today, "You really can't separate the brain and the body, because psychology is biology." Indeed, there's an incredible amount of solid, scientific research proving without doubt that our emotions influence cellular function in our bodies. As such, we can no longer discount the powerful role core emotions play in creating and sustaining health conditions of all kinds. Likewise, family patterns of thought that stimulate negative emotions (and behavior) do leave lasting imprints on future generations.
Feelings such as fear and terror wreak havoc on the body/mind, quietly and effectively feeding symptoms of depression and anxiety. Underlying anxiety may be fears about safety, personal value, finances, or your ability to be loved. Hiding in the back of your subconscious, they act like stop signs that halt the flow of happy living. In addition to fear, sometimes your own high expectations--of yourself and others (ones that often stem from family patterns of perfectionism)--can leave you feeling anxious, worthless, incapable, and/or overwhelmed. And, once again, symptoms of depression can creep into your life. These feelings have great power to underlie behavior patterns and dictate outcomes. When they go unrecognized, they can sabotage your goals and dreams and cost you exactly what you want.
Dr. Wayne Dyer is quoted as saying, "There is good news and bad news. The good news is that whatever you really, really want, you will get. The bad news is that whatever you really, really don't want, you will also get, because that is what you are thinking about all the time." To duck depression and find success and happiness in life, it is essential to uncover and heal the underlying fears that are holding you back.
It's also essential to look at the relationships in your life. Happy lives always include healthy, loving relationships. When life is void of deeply loving interactions--ones where you feel safe and secure-- depression is often inevitable. Think about some of the casual relationships you have. Do you feel safe expressing your true self in these relationships? Or, do your interactions tend to focus on talk about irrelevant matters like the weather and other seemingly immaterial facts? These relationships are fine, but only if coupled with other, healthy relationships where true exchanges of love exist. Everyone needs to be able to express true feelings honestly with someone else. Real acceptance and unconditional love allows individuals to do this in a safe and comforting environment. When your expression of yourself is met with judgment, criticism, or fear, your first instinct will be to fear future efforts at communicating. And, eventually, you may become so afraid to communicate that you avoid and ignore the very issues that you must face in order to be truly happy and successful.
Destructive family patterns are often the fuel behind judgmental and critical personalities. Typically, family members who participate in these patterns struggle with control issues and pride brought about by deep fears of worthlessness and abandonment. Fears that originate from family patterns often surface as extended families get together and tend to trigger each other's issues. Throughout the year, families get together for holidays, reunions, and vacations. When families have long-standing patterns that prevent healthy relationships, members of those families may have episodes of depression and anxiety when they get together. Creating better experiences as families requires healing of destructive patterns, and that happens only when we take responsibility for our issues and allow others the freedom to keep theirs. Loving unconditionally is a gift you offer yourself when you look past the flaws in others (and yourself) and find what's good. Doing this can make a huge difference at family gatherings. When you can do it, you'll find that you are happier, less anxious, and less prone to other negative health conditions, including depression.
As you heal, do these three things. First, decide to be honest about underlying negative emotions that may negatively affect your health, family, or goals. Second, determine what these emotional blocks are (refer to the "5-Step Process" in, "Healing Your Family History," by Rebecca Hintze, foreword by Stephen R. Covey, for assistance). And third, seek to replace your fears and other negative emotions with unconditional love.
