Depression can be a very scary thing. When you feel like the world is against you and you have no one to turn to, just remember that there are many ways to overcome it. Ways like write what you feel down in a journal, or go to a funny movie. If you feel like there is no solution remember that there is always someone out there that will always listen. Weather it be a family member, friend, pet, or even your god. Someone will alys be there. there are hotlines to call. Doctors that can help. Find someone, anyone. I find that i suffer from depression and cant afford any type of meds to help me. So my ways to help myself is to listen to music, and write. or i find someone that will listen to my day of pure misery. sometimes i just want to curl up in my sposes arms. a good hug from someone that loves you is always good too. But if you do not have that, a pastor of your local church sometimes helps. I often go to the grave of a friend i lost a few years ago to just sit and talk. I feel that he is still there to listen to me and can still help me get through it all. Depression has always been a tough battle. There is severe and not so severe. I have lost a friensd or two to it. I am and know that i am an important role in my sons life to ever become a fatality to depression. I know that people might feel like they cant get through another day, that their life is over. It is not on the over till an unseen force of nature or old age says so. I hope to never see anymore of my loved ones gop because of it. I have seen far too much, two people is enough. Like i said there are so many ways to over come it. If you start feeling like you are very angry for no reason at all, then you want to cry and feel tired. you are feeling the symtoms of a sort of depression. when you start to feel the angriness, perhaps you could go for a run or the gym, or even find a craft or hobbie that might take your mind off of it. I find that always helps. If you are depressed because you lost a loved one, look at photos that always made you happy. Fun times remembered. Makew a scrapbook of thing that you did together to remind you that memories can be forever. if you had a bad day at work and dont know how to handle it, remember that tomorrow will be a better day. Nothing lasts forever and things can only get better. Jobs are just that, jobs. Family is the most important key in life. nothing can replace them. people come and people go. photos are a reminder of things and happy times in our life. times that we want to cherish, and memories often fade as we get older. but the love in our hearts never dies. we just cant see it in our older loved ones faces. For in there minds and hearts they are calling out to us. so don't despare or be depressed for there is a soultion for the tough things we must face in life.
