Your suggestions here need serious consideration. The challenge is to “edit” our self-talk. In my opinion, the “content” of one’s self-talk has a great impact on one’s mental health:)

Helping others is a wonderful way to overcome depression. It has helped me on several occasions, and has allowed a different perspective. Thank you for another great post.

I am honored you used my comment in your blog, Patrick! I hope it helps those who struggle with depression and those concerned about a loved one who is depressed.

Medical documentation has also been done revealing how praying in the Spirit affects the brain’s functioning to conform to the blueprint of our Creator. Even speaking truth to ourselves as revealed in scriptures (especially in the Hebrew language �) is a divine intervention that never fails to transform us as we behold the lovliness of Christ Jesus.

I’m not on Facebook but I give a thumbs-up “like” to this blog. I agree that we need Jesus as much as you depicted so graphically. Sometimes it takes dire situations for us to realize that truth.

Ditto Robert Farquhar. In response to your previous post, I said that counsellors didn’t always get the stress and its impact but at the same time people marvel at how I seem to be able to handle my life – they feel that the simply could not be a single parent (well, I hope they don’t have to but it actually isn’t that bad), or how I can survive working only part time (when more gadgets really wouldn’t thrill me, for example).

I like your counsel and suggestions. I have thought for a long time that “stress” is in the “eye of the beholder’.

Looking forward to your post…
To be fair, my last counsellor was trying to encourage me in the ways that he could (i.e. he couldn’t magic up solutions to lack of childcare) so that I might better be able to deal with life’s realities.

Exactly. There seem to be too many therapists, and psychiatrists, I might add, who treat those who are depressed and anxious out of a textbook and not by listening to them. I hope you find a more realistic approach in the upcoming Friday’s blog.
