've had depression meds in the past and I know they can be valuable, but I'm not ready to do that yet. I will refer to your steps often. I know that I can work my way through this period independently with good guidance and determination. By nature, I am joyful. I just need to find out where it's hiding!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-12273568999339033672011-10-16T08:27:08.466-07:002011-10-16T08:27:08.466-07:00Thanks for sharing this information.

As someone who suffers from depression, I agree with all of your suggestions, especially the one about acting as if you're not depressed and getting out and engaging with the world. It really does help.O-town Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462693501650732288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-16947575326451360452011-10-15T12:30:15.885-07:002011-10-15T12:30:15.885-07:00Dear Kathy, I've had to deal with depression, ...Dear Kathy, I've had to deal with depression, and I know from experience how helpful your list is to someone whose days seem to be spent under a dark rain cloud.<br /><br />This posting is extremely informative. I truly am sure that it will help many of us. If your readers are not experiencing depression, then, like "Shelly" in the first comment, a relative, friend, loved one may be. <br /><br />You are shining a lot here on something that is not, in general, well understood. Thank you again.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-46263415801351595362011-10-14T20:33:39.356-07:002011-10-14T20:33:39.356-07:00I have seasonal affective disorder and all these s...I have seasonal affective disorder and all these suggestions are good reminders.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-77209920986891410732011-10-14T09:32:36.864-07:002011-10-14T09:32:36.864-07:00An excellent post.

I don't know if I'm right or wrong, but I feel that depression is one of those conditions that aren't completely explored yet, and not enough attention is paid to solving the mystery of depression.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652566920769043373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-13212791602235217632011-10-14T06:43:35.324-07:002011-10-14T06:43:35.324-07:00Such a helpful post.

Once treatment started that was quickly gone. For me, action was the magic bullet. I can't imagine what it must be like to have prolonged periods. Hopefully this will help those struggling.<br />Humor has always been my saving grace. <br />Arkansas PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754684819908801536.post-57180992727855769912011-10-14T04:07:37.818-07:002011-10-14T04:07:37.818-07:00This truly sheds news light on this for me.
