Depression or Grief. 05/24/2010
 Best wishes to those suffering depression. My heart goes out to you. I have been lucky, only known short duration feelings of having 'the pip' as I call it. 'House work blues', when the house mess, got me down, when I was younger. I have never known full-blown depression though I have seen others in my family with it. I know you cannot 'just snap out of it', I understand the often chemical component of it, and how you cannot manage depression entirely alone; you need to talk about it and seek advice. Self-medication for depression and trying pick me ups and hgh, does not reach the heart of the issue if it is body chemical or environment, caused. The Beyond Blue website is an excellent place to go to as a start, if you know someone who needs help or if you yourself need help with depression. I suffered badly from grief as I gave up a life’s passion something I thought I would do until I died, never thought it would be taken from me. I have created substitute interests. That will never be the same thing but they are compatible with my lifestyle and give me a satisfaction. For me, this is important. Attending to my inner needs helps me be capable of attending to my other, nutritional and exercise needs, it all goes hand in hand for me so the scale I most often focus on is the life balance scale, not the bathroom scales. Talk to people about how things make you feel, express grief and frustration and life does become manageable, enjoyable, sooner. You are not weak if you suffer depression and those who understands this condition do not expects you to 'snap out of it'. Start by talking to someone who cares today, but do share your feelings, it can lighten the load. Comments Comments are closed. |
