Depression self help. Many people who suffer from depression or other mental illnesses don’t seek out the help they need. Why? Well, much of society doesn’t support getting help. You’re friends and family may tell you that you’re just going through a bad patch and you’ll be fine - so you ignore the symptoms and wait it out. You may feel ashamed or think you should be able to get better on your own. I’ve been through ALL of these and I’m here to encourage you to get help. I’ve always believed in self-help and I’ll share with you the depression self-help tools I have. Sometimes our depression is caused from too much stress. But sometimes we need help from outside ourselves, in the form of guidance, support and different kinds of healing. I’ve been at the bottom of that black hole and I know how much it hurts. I’ve had people in the past say to me “You’re just thinking negatively” so I tried to think differently, and feel differently and it took me a long time to seek outside help.

How To Deal With Depression

Some of the Depression Self-Help Tools I’ve used are:

Nutrition and Exercise
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
Reiki
Meditation
A good site for those interested in Meditation is Lifechoice Meditation: Resources, instruction, inspiration and encouragement along the path of meditation and wholesome living.
Hypnosis
Reading some wonderful books
Practicing the Law of Attraction

But if the above don’t help you, or you consistently experience uncontrollable emotions, feelings, thoughts, get some professional help.

Creativity and Depression

Creativity and Depression: Getting Out of the Hole By Susan M. Brackney, author of the Lost Soul Companion: Comfort and constructive advice for struggling actors, musicians, artists, writers, and other free spirits.

Many artists create when they are depressed simply to get the thoughts in their heads out of there. Sometimes by putting your thoughts on paper, or computer or in a song or picture you separate from them a bit and you gain perspective. Call it Art therapy or "I write my best stuff when I'm unhappy", it can be a fulfilling form of Depression Self Help.
Depression Poems

"I am the most miserable man living.
If what I feel were equally distributed to the whole human family, there would not be a cheerful face on earth.
Whether I shall ever be better I cannot tell;
I awfully forbode I shall not.
To remain as I am is impossible.
I must die or be better.” - Abraham Lincoln
