              Tips to fight depression

              I'm glad you guys find this useful. Depression is embarrassing. I don't eat right. I don't shower or brush my teeth. I don't change out of my pajamas. Working from home, it's so easy to disappear into my pathology.

              I need to start writing things down to see if I can determine a cycle. I'm currently embroiled in the dark bit. I need to just breathe and read through these tips. One foot in front of the other...

                    Tips to fight depression

                    Hello Mama Bear.

                    Yep, depression is damned .... depressing. I'd love to go just a few months without it dragging me down.

                      Tips to fight depression

                      I loved that link Siren! Thank you so much.

                      Quick story: about 2 years ago my then 9 year old daughter tells me she needs to get some pill she has seen advertised on TV. I ask her why (knowing she is referring to a powerful anti depressant) and she says, "because I get sad sometimes and if I take this pill then I'll be happy..."

                      Needless to say I was floored. Depression is so serious and rough to live with and they market it as though it's nothing more than a rainy day turned sunny with song once you pop a pill...

                      Cable went bye bye that week. We are only on Netflix now.

                        Kradle, that must have been a hell of a shock for you. Does she actually suffer from depression, or was it just what she said... being sad occassionally.?

                          I don't know about the world outside of the US; but we are constantly bombarded with AD and ED drugs on the television. I think there are more ads than programs.
                          How much advertising in your part of the world?

                            Hi Rags,

                            No, she was nine at the time and is definitely a happy, positive kid. She was equating say, sad about not having enough syrup for her waffles (or similar little kid tuff) with full blown clinical depression.

                            I explained to her that this medication was made for people who were SO sad they couldn't get out of bed in the morning!

                            She thought that was Sad for them because then they couldn't ride their bikes on a sunny day...
