You stare at the blank wall, your heart aches, you walking blindly - dunno where you're heading to... you just want to walk up to the special person in your life... and get that special hug.. and hope to hear "Everything will be okay"...

Professionally... top 10 do's and don'ts of depression

Don'ts
1. Don't try to manage it on your own. Ever.
2. Don't isolate yourself. (Doing so guarantees a bad case of "stinkin' thinkin'!")
3. Don't assume it's just your life's circumstances. (It can easily be a chemical imbalance in your brain combined with circumstances.)
4. Don't listen to angry, dark, upsetting, unsettling music. Ever. (It is counter-productive. It feeds depression... feeds it all those things that are not healthy for you: angst, anxiety, fear, anger, rage, melencholy...)
5. Don't eat unhealthy. Ever. (Unhealthy, a.k.a. junk food, fast food, prepackaged food.)


Do's
6. Do seek out "good friends". (The internet is not a replacement for some good old face-to-face with a close friend, compadre, or loving significant other.) Don't create MORE problems for yourself by chosing someone who feeds the monster.)
7. Do seek (professional) help if you're DWD and it's obviously more than just the occassional "blues".
8. Eat healthier! (More greens. Less burgers and fries. Healthier body, healthier mind.)
9. Listen to instrumental music with upbeat tempo and rhythm.
10. Watch a lot of comedy. Belly laugh! (Laughter really is the best medicine.)


Jolene's Top 3 resolution:
1. Don't think of food as sex.
2. Don't resort to alcohol or drugs.
3. Do take Tiramisu. (Think happy food) or strawberry or chawan-mushi or salmon~~ yumz ^__^

Worry is a misuse of imagination - that is soooo true... my word of the month!
