Fight Depression by Dealing with Toxic Personality Individuals

In this article you'll find a treatment for depression with does not involved any antidepressant pills or medication. You'll learn how to treat depression by kicking out five kinds of people with nasty personality traits from your life. Read on - this should be very enlightening!

At any point in our lives it is normal to experience symptoms depression sadness and emotional mood sadness. There is no shame in being diagnosed with depression. For some of us it can be getting teen depression and for others it can be more serious chronic depressive disorders which leads to clinical depression that must be treated with depression medications. While we are all at risk for depression it's absolutely vital that we take the proper steps to fight, prevent and stop depression and mood disorders so that we may take back control and maintain stability in our emotional lives. We can seek the help of a professional psychologist or counsellor for curing depression or we can attempt to take charge of our own depression and treat it by reading and exploring the subject on the Internet.

I have developed a method which treats mild depression without the need of antidepressant medications or pills. It involves identifying and labelling which I refer to as the "toxic personalities" or "poisonous people" we've met in our lives. By dealing with these people in an extremely direct way you will be able to take back control of your life and emotions and consequentially be able to enrichen yourself with happiness and potentially financial gains.

In the paragraphs below I will define the five toxic or poisonous personality traits. Then, I'll make suggestions for how to deal with these people. For now, you need to make a list of and identify people with the following negative personality characteristics and traits:

1. People who are pompous towards you. We've all known people like this. No matter what we say about ourselves that is positive, even if it's not bragging but just stating our positive attributes, they will stick their noses up in the air and simply ignore anything good we have to say about ourselves. These people are pompous and probably have huge personal issues of their own and we must avoid contact with them at all costs if we seek to be emotional and financially successful.

2. People who make condescending comments towards you. Again, another toxic personality characteristic. Condescending comments are very easy to identify. I once had a boss who told me I was a "terrible person" on a daily basis. This person had a personality that smelled like rotten eggs and I paid a dear price with my happiness while in working for this individual. If anybody makes comments to you such as "You're no good", You're a bad or horrible person", or "So-and-So is much better than you or does a much better job" you must do everything in your power to separate yourself from this individual because they will put a major dent in your happiness which will most likely lead to depression.

3. Talks negatively about you behind your back. This is a simple one and very straight forward. Whenever you find out that a friend, family member, co-worker or even acquaintance has spoken negatively behind your back they have revealed themselves to be a toxic individual in your life. Associating with this person will do you no good and it's curtail that you break ties with this individual for your own happiness.

4. People with whom you're walking on eggshells. We have all known people like this. If we say "A" we're in the wrong and if we say "B" we're in the wrong. No matter what we say to people with this personality trait, often referred to as Borderline Personality Disorder we're in the wrong and simply end up feeling bad about ourselves and depressed. Eggshell individuals are toxic people and most likely have a long list of "victims" who they made contributed to their depression in their lifetimes. Avoid them at all costs.

5. People who pours cold water on your ideas. This is a big one but cannot be overlooked. We have all known people who have belittled our ideas, plans and inspirations. Their reasons for doing this are undoubtedly linked to their own personality shortcomings. But, the result is that we end up feeling bad about ourselves and unhappy. Anybody who pours cold water on your ideas belongs in one place in your life: OUT. In order to achieve emotional happiness and financial success it is absolutely curtail that we surround ourselves with people who encourage us to pursue our dreams and give positive encouragement when we need help and are not feeling good about ourselves.

In an attempt to deal with depression and regain your happiness it is crucial that you either remove these trouble, or "toxic" personalities from your life. I have two recommendation for dealing with this. In your first attempt try to approach the person with a telephone call or email. If you can arrange a face-to-face meeting all the better. Here you need to have some courage. Tell them your issue. For example, "John, I have an issue with your constant pouring cold water on my ideas. This has led to my not feeling good about myself and I would like it to end. What are your thoughts?" If the person is able to communicate with you in a mature and adult-like way - GREAT! That person isn't so toxic or bad after all and the relationship can continue. You're well on your way to become a happier person. But, if the person takes offense and shuts the doors to communication they have REVEALED themselves to indeed be toxic and you will DO YOUSELF A HUGE FAVOR by walking way from that relationship forever.

I strongly believe that in order to be happy in life, fight depression and reach your emotional and financial goals it's of huge importance that you rid yourself of these toxic people and surround yourself with winners who seek to inspire and help you.

I welcome you feedback, both positive and negative, and look forward to reading your thoughts.

You're right on with this one. The nay-sayers are everywhere. I had a boss like the one you describe. For five years I kept trying to get on his good side until I finally realized he didn't have one. Condescending people and those who rain on your parade should be avoided whenever possible. Great writing and keep the faith.
