Today it has been raining all day. All day I have worked with people that are depressed. It is the rain or the darkness or cooped up feelings. I think it is a combination of all that. Depression is a real illness and sometimes it is impossible to rid.
Do you feel the anti depressant pills work? What I have found out more and more people are on them both men and women . Age is no factor. It is happening with teenagers too.
Depression comes in so many disguises - over weight - widow or widower - loneliness. Death ,unemployment, breakups, divorces , money and the list goes on................................
So to combat depression today with clients- turned on every light in their space. Brightness helps combat the situation. Writing can help. Go walk in the rain with proper gear(not in the lighting)
Write a to do list
Write a shopping list
Write a friend list
Make a date with a friend or spouse or lover or cousin
Write a chore list
Just don't think about what is bad what hurts
Do a productive activity
Cook a new recipe
Call a friend or foe
Reorganize your kitchen, pantry,draws,closets, car, garage, yard etc etc etc
How do you fight depression- comments welcomed!
