One thing I can say is this - I'm know expert on DEPRESSION, but I am pretty experience with it and dealing with it.
Sometimes you can feel so lonely, left-out and down - especially in times like this with the economy low, less jobs and stress. When they use the expression, "depression hurts" it's true and sometimes we resort to drugs, alcohol and other abusive things to OURSELVES, usually because we think they will make things better. Take it from me - it doesn't and I don't have to tell you that, because it has been said over and over again. I know some people who deal with it - usually get very tired of hearing it. I know I do.
But I can tell you this - It don't have to hurt. As a matter of fact there are several ways to handle depression whether it is you or someone you love. And I'm not saying that you have to order some prescribed pill - I'm saying that you can decide how to handle depression on your own. I'm gonna give you something the doctor does not prescribe. It's something that you will enjoy doing and something that you have forgotten. Before they developed the so-called "depression drug" - depression existed. It existed a long time ago.
The best way to deal with it is to face it - get back to being you, get back to doing things that you enjoy. Whether it's riding a bicycle or ice skating - I don't care, but you have to decide that you will not allow yourself to be depressed. You know why? Because you have no choice, you can't beat yourself up anymore - you have to get up and attack it just like it attacks you. I made myself a motto - "I will not let anyone hurt me, if there is gonna be any hurting to me -I'm gonna do it. But I refuse to hurt myself." And if you are like me and you have a family that depends on you - then you have no choice. Fact is, life is tough, it's the toughest thing you will ever do - and that's LIVE. But no one can LIVE for you, so you have to do it. You have to get up and attack life with the fullest. No matter how late the bills are, no matter how many abusive relationships you been in and no matter how long you been on drugs - YOU can change that right now. It's up to you, period point blank. Don't wait for the someone to come and get you - go and get them. You have to decide that you can't be depressed anymore, I can write this blog, but you have to read it. And one thing I know that if you have read this long? Then you know what I'm talking about. So don't wait - Start today on beating depression and doing something you love to do again.
