depression

boy, i am on a roll today….lol  i have read a lot of blogs about people who are depressed.  a lot of the time depression can be solved by simply taking the focus off of ourselves and putting it on to someone or something else.  a lot of times our depression is caused from and/or made worse by dwelling on our own life circumstances,  our unfulfilled needs, or stress about who did what to us or any number of other things going on in our day-to-day lives.  try putting the focus on someone else and see how depressed you stay.  bake cookies for a neighbor, take soup to or read to someone who is sick, run errands for an elderly or handicapped person who can’t get out and do it themselves, help someone in any way you can or anything else you can do to be a blessing to them.  depression can be brought on by a number of things, and is bound to affect us, so allow yourself those feelings, they are real and you need to feel them but then don’t just sit back and let them consume you and make you miserable, go out and do something about them!! I can almost guarantee that  if you make someone elses life better, it will make yours better too!!
