The food made out of rice, wheat, pulses, milk, butter, green vegetables etc. are very pious things that produce good thoughts in the mind and reduce the chances of extreme thinking in wrong direction that causes the frustration?.
So, whenever somebody thinks that he often gets quickly frustrated, he/she should change to pious diet, so that gradually the tendency of quick frustration may stop for ever. Pious diet is that diet which is obtained without killing or troubling other living beings. Eating vegetarian diet is always good. When the fruits, leaves or root is cut for the vegetable consumption, the plants die, but without pains, because the small seasonal plants fall in Tiryak birth (Tiryak Yonee). Tiryak Yoni is like the hairs on our body. If the hairs are cut, we do not experience pains.
The degree of frustration could well be understood from the time it takes to go away from the mind. If the frustration lasts for few hours, for a couple of days or a week, we can call it a short time frustration, and it is very common. If the frustration exceeds for more than a month, it may become serious. Why this time base is taken for understanding the severity of the frustration? It is because of the movement of the Moon. The moon rules the mind. The Hindu Shastra (scriptures) say, the Moon is the cause of vegetation and creation of food. As we have seen in the earlier paragraphs that the food creates mind in the body. Naturally, the Moon rules the mind. Most of us know that full Moon day and the new moon day become more troublesome to the weaker minded people. The people who have studied astrology know that the position of the Moon at the time of birth leaves ever lasting effect on the minds of the natives. The Moon in the horoscope occupying 6-8-12 positions, occupying the debilitated sign, having aspect of the malefic planets, the waning Moon etc. is found to be affecting the people adversely. If the frustration stays for a couple of days it is generally a very temporary problem and one should not rush to Doctors and psychiatrists. The Moon stays in any one sign for two and a quarter or two and a half days. If that sign at that particular time is not favorable to a person, the frustration in mind may arise temporarily. The Moon transits the Zodiac in about 28 to 29 days. If the affliction is too adverse, the frustration can last for a month. If the state of depressed mind continues after a month, then one must think seriously and should try to come over it by all possible means to avoid the severity.
The sensitive mind gets disturbed even due to a very insignificant reason. There are thousands of reasons and can't be listed here. However, the main causes of sudden depression are generally as under.
1. A fear of insult or dishonor due to any reason including the comments passed by others, warnings of superiors, possible disclosures of the lies made earlier etc. Unexpected behavior of somebody keen, or behavior not to expectations.
2. A fear of losing something that was giving pleasure like money, job, property, keen friendship involving sex or otherwise.
3. A fear of possible inability to keep the promises.
4. A fear of something known or unknown happening unfavorable.
5. A fear of creditors.
6. A fear of bodily harm.
7. Thinking about how to face others.
8. Thinking about inability to meet expenses.
9. Thinking about possible unsuccessfulness etc.
10. Thinking about insubordination by children, students or subordinates etc.
Everybody can add one more point of his own experience in this list.
Thinking on the above reasons, causes fast use of the brain called tension which is converted in to stress if the tension lasts longer, and finally becomes frustration or depression if the thinking continued. In the state of frustration the person is so much attached to a topic that sometimes the other necessary subjects do not even enter the mind. One forgets sometimes even taking food in time if the severity is more. You must have seen innumerable examples that the frustrated person has given up eating and the routine work is disturbed. If the care of such a person is not taken the possibility of his turning insane, or other bad consequences becomes higher.
