Depression often stems from the absence of self-worth. Depression is caused by emotional pain, which can contort and discourage a person. This can sway them from their natural achieving capabilities and instead have them mourning their losses as well as regretting their actions. Taking care of self-worth is by accepting that all your actions were done to justify something that you believed was right. We regret such actions because of the losses we made. But a loss is a loss and eventually, we all move on. Your actions, may they be wrong or right, are something you can learn from and eventually you’ll figure the right response to certain events in the future.

Stress is also a factor that can ignite a lower self-worth. Having a job that you do not actually like can cause you more stress than anything else in the world. If you find that your boss is verbally abusing you, by all means fight back. It doesn’t matter if you get terminated; what is important is that you have your self-worth. Of course, only do this as a drastic measure. Always respond to your boss in a way that justifies your actions. If he or she’s trying to break your limit, do your best and if you don’t meet the deadlines, it’s not your fault for the large, inhumane load. Save your self-worth as you were made for better things.

Seek encouragement from a stronger belief. You may choose to believe in religion or any kind of existing beliefs, or you might want to read the works of famous authors and philosophers. Finding a belief that empathizes with your soul is very important to preserve your self-worth.
