Dealing with Depression Advice

Take responsibility for communicating your needs

In the book "Seven steps to a depression free life," by Nancy Miller, one of the symptoms of depression is a feeling of self pity.

Some aspects of feeling sorry for ourselves can not be helped; it is part of depression.

But assuming that people can read your mind is a dangerous head space to be in.

Take responsibility for letting your supportive friends know how you are doing - really. They care about you but they can't help if they don't know what you need.

Likewise for talking to mental health professionals, be prepared to tell the truth. If you are meeting with your physician and have insomnia, for example, be sure to tell them if you don't know why you can't sleep.
