I have been learning as much as I can on depression.

Found a great tip and have been able to use it.

We only the moment we are in. Past is gone and future is not here yet.

If we all live our lives and enjoy each and every moment, easy right. Well all those little moments and up to be a day and we will find that just for a day...we were happy and grateful in this day.

Well, days add up to months.

What do you think??

It's sort of the same mind set of living one day at a time. Easy to say but, hard to do. The trauma of the past hurts and immobilizes many so they can not move forward.

Thank you for reminding us we can find joy, happiness and things to be grateful for if we live in each moment.

I know a lot of things to do or tell myself when depressed. The problem is when I am depressed, I have the problem of forgetting them.

All that anyone can ask of us is to do our best and someones best is only with the one with the depression. No-one WANTS to suffer with this dreaded disease but we CAN help it to become easier. Acknowledge the truth and know that you are not alone. The worst part of depression is when we feel all alone. None of us are. Hugs GB

I try to live only in today. The past is too painful and the future is too scary.
