Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I feel better with a program I created though I am sure others do the same.
First, whenever a I make a mistake, I write it down. Periodically I check the list. Other than that, I let problems go and create few regrets. I am present-centered and think how I can be effective and productive now.
Secondly I make the commitment to confront problems head on. I messed up a few things but addressing them invariably made things better.
I cannot say I will solve everything just make a reasonable commitment to
trying to make the issue better.
Part of life is luck and I cannot control that. I can only say at a given moment I did the best I could.

When I am worrying about something, I will write my worry down and put it in a box with a lid and tie it with a ribbon. When the box is closed, I am not allowed to think about my worry. If I find myself ruminating, I will go back to my box and pull out my worry, but I will set a time limit. When my box is full, I burn all the worries...it's surprisingly very satisfying the whole process.
