Depression Understood Forums

With your dealing with depression daily, which do you feel benefits you with this struggle?

A. Being able to talk with others that truly understand?

B. Medications?

C. Therapy?

D. All the above?

What advice would you give to someone new at the turn in their life when depression shows up?

Just wondering...........

All of the above for sure. I would tell that person how it is important to talk to someone close to you that will understand and be there just to listen. Also how therapy is a good option and how it really helps me.

Being able to talk with someone who has made it through. Medication and therapy are the most important I think, especially therapy and it kind of makes me little angry that its so hard for so many to find a good professional.

Thank you for the input.

Therapy is something I don't have or can get.

Was told once to talk to myself in a mirror, that would work. LOL, I haven't tried that yet.

Ah, I would feel weird talking to myself in a mirror, but maybe that is just me. ((((Jeanie))))) (((((Katietron)))))))

Hate mirrors to start with, well not the mirror itself, just don't like what I see, for that woman looking back knows nothing.
