Depression Management and Empowerment action steps to Help you Manage your depression
Presentation by: Janelle M.
Depression tends to drain
you and make you feel
helpless, but that does make you helpless.
While overcoming depression is not quick or easy, it is
possible. You can’t beat it by sheer willing it BUT you can have and do
have some control…even if your depression is stubborn and persistent.
You have to step up
to help yourself , even if you don’t
feel like it. For the first couple
of days treat this as a job and make a
schedule…you don’t have to want
to …just do it, take charge and
empower change. Intervene with a
structured routine.
Remember: Sometimes the things that help us most are the
most difficult to do. There is a difference between difficult and impossible!
