I haven't written for quite a while because I wasn't feeling depressed.  Now that the holidays are over, the same old depression is trying to seep back into my days.  I'm resisting the best I can.  How are all of you doing fighting off depression?

I feel very fortunate to have this blog and so many faithful followers.  I appreciate you!  I also need to try and appreciate myself.  That sounds strange but...it's something I find difficult to do all the time and even more so when I get the blues.  

I have family members who frequently talk about their accomplishments.  I don't understand how they are able to do that.  After I've heard or read plenty of that, I start wondering what I might say about my accomplishments.  I wonder getting out of bed and making it through another day, or managing not to eat all the chocolate at once, would impress anyone. 

Recently, I did a good thing for my extended family.  I started a family group website so that we could all communicate and share pictures.  Several of my sisters wanted a family site but they didn't know how to accomplish it.  I was able to set it up and I felt a sense of accomplishment.  Even more recently, this good thing that I did has turned into my worst nightmare!  My sisters are cruel and their cruelty is usually directed at me.  It's causing me a lot of stress and increased depression just dealing with them again.  

I guess there was a lot to be said for the "isolationism" I had been practicing for the past several years.  I don't really want to return to that but this emotional pain is very difficult.  Thank you for reading this.  I hope I haven't been too much of a whiner.  I would appreciate any feedback you can give me.

I usually have good suggestions for those who are having a hard time with depression, stress or anxiety.  my ideas range from seeking professional help to taking a walk outside to patting yourself on the back.   I guess I'm weighing my options right now and am trying to decide what idea would be most helpful to me this time.  I've done all of the "advised" things at one time or another in my life.  Are we supposed to keep doing them forever?

I have hopes that my spirits will improve dramatically when the weather finally does.  This has been one of the longest and dreariest Winters and early Springs that I've ever experienced here in Southwest Missouri.  Sunshine has been scarce and we've had way too much rain and snow. 

When the weather is decent I will need to figure out where to put the perennials I brought here from our old house.  I feel like I don't know where to start, even though this yard is very small compared to what we had.  Have I lost my confidence?  Yes, I think so.  It's easy to do when someone else gripes about your abilities and choices and shows no interest in what you want to do. 

I bought two six packs of happy looking pansies the other day and they are waiting for me on the front porch.  Maybe soon I can get out there to put them in a pot in the sunshine.   Maybe......

Yoga does more than help your balance, core fitness and flexibility - it helps to reduce anxiety and relieve stress. With the hustle and bustle of today’s society, it’s normal for people to stress about life, money, work, family and whatever else causes daily anxiety. Yoga relieves and reduces stress in three ways:

 

1. Through regulated inhaling and exhaling breaths. As you inhale, you're sending more oxygen to the brain, which stimulates your nervous system. Exhaling helps regulate this process and releases toxins from your bloodstream, helping your body relax. The double leg raise and certain yoga breaths like alternative nostril breathing are great ways to send oxygen to the brain and circulation to your body thus reducing stress levels.

 

2. Meditation and relaxation helps you find your center and focus, while using your regulated breaths to relax the mind. Once the mind is relaxed, you're able to transfer your relaxation to the rest of your body while meditating and focusing on this process. Meditation helps you focus on quieting the mind and finding your inner strength when stressful situations arise.

 

3. Through regulated breathing and meditation, you're able to focus and block out outside noises while focusing on your inner self and your inner strength. This aspect of yoga is also vital for focusing on your breathing and meditation. This may be one of the harder aspects of yoga to grasp – being able to focus and not become distracted with inner thoughts and outside noise. Focus and lack thereof is a major contributor to daily stress; with so much going on, we can struggle to focus on accomplishing one task before we can complete another.

 

Once you've mastered the aspects of breathing, meditation and focusing through yoga, you're able to calm your nervous system, relax your mind and block out outside noises, which are all contributors of stress.

I sincerely hope all of you had a good Thanksgiving Day and are still enjoying the holiday weekend.  We are still in the moving process but I'm very grateful to have our computers hooked up and working again.  A week without computers, phones or television wouldn't have been much fun if we hadn't been so busy.  I imagine we'll be trying to find a place for everything and settling in all winter.   

Again, thank you all for reading this blog and for returning again and again to see what's new.  I hope to write soon about the roller coaster of depression and anxiety and fatigue I've had during our moving process......so be sure and check back with His and Hers.   ]]> http://antidepressionguide.org/2010/11/27/thank-you/feed/ 0 Sending a Child to Iraq http://antidepressionguide.org/2008/12/12/sending-a-child-to-iraq/ http://antidepressionguide.org/2008/12/12/sending-a-child-to-iraq/#comments Fri, 12 Dec 2008 11:19:32 +0000 ozzieblackcat http://b88e2890-9371-4796-8658-9d04789536a8
I have a lot of admiration for Sarah Palin who sent her son to Iraq during her Vice Presidential campaign recently.   I wondered at the time how she could continue campaigning in the public eye when her heart had to be filled with pain.   I guess we all go through difficult things and keep on going.......if we are strong enough.  

I have three other children and two wonderful grandchildren.  I am trying to focus my attention on giving them a good Christmas this year in spite of the dire economy.   I've been staying very busy making preparations for the biggest holiday of the year at our house.  The dreary days of January and February are when I'll have the hardest time worrying about my oldest son.   I don't think he will be gone too long and will definitely look forward to his return.  

Thank you for reading and please keep my son, and all other sons serving in  Iraq and Afghanistan, in your prayers this Christmas.

Amidst the holiday hustle and bustle, I hope you will take time to de-stress so you don't wear yourself out completely.   My husband and I are doing that on a regular basis this year.   As we have gotten older we have realized that we need to take time for us to be alone together........ enjoying some of our usual activities. 

Yesterday we finished our Christmas shopping, I think.   We always shop for our four children, their spouses and our two grandchildren as well as a few other family members.   We don't spend a lot of money but we do spend a lot of time out there among the crowds.   We try to accomplish as much as possible on weekdays but yesterday, a Saturday, we were right out there in the midst of the hustle and bustle, along with all the other shoppers.

However, we also took the time to see a movie which is one of our favorite things to do.   This time we saw Australia, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman.   I loved the movie..... it stirred so many feelings in me.   I did a lot of sniffling and wiped my eyes repeatedly.   Today we are going to a free Christmas concert to be performed by the music department at Missouri State University.  We plan to dress up for the occasion and perhaps have dinner afterwards.  

Oh dear!   I just realized another item we need to get at a store!    I'm also wondering if I purchased enough wrapping paper.   All of these holiday preparations are so much fun and yet so stressful, especially for those of us with anxiety/depression.   I think a nice long walk today would go a long way in de-stressing.  Sometimes a nap helps too!   Be sure to take time to de-stress in whatever way works best for you.

When your ducks aren't all in a row you often feel a lot of stress, especially if you suffer from depression and/or anxiety.  Most of us cherish having some sense of control in our lives and when things happen to upset our apple cart we often feel as if we no longer have any control. 

This week I felt the stress of things going wrong and I felt helpless to keep them from happening.   It all started when we realized we needed a new refrigerator.   The compressor on the old one was making a terrible sound each time it stopped running.  After several days of shopping around, we chose a new fridge which had to be ordered.  We waited the specified five days and then moved our food to ice chests while the new fridge was being delivered.  Well, the new fridge hums so loudly that it can easily be mistaken for the washing machine in the adjoining laundry room.   It is making me even nuttier than usual!

Needless to say, we have complained to the store and they will be sending out another new refrigerator.......in another five days.   We sure didn't need this unexpected expense during this sluggish economy.   I guess we could consider this our Christmas present even if it isn't what we wanted.   I will be thankful if we manage to get our ducks in a row by having a quiet and reliable refrigerator installed.  I need to fill it with Thanksgiving food items.....before Thanksgiving.   My family is coming and they will want some turkey and trimmings!

Congratulations to President Elect Obama and his family on winning the Presidential Election Tuesday.  I'm so glad the election is over!   It was the longest, most grueling campaign in our history and I listened to way too much of it.   I wanted to be informed but I think I went overboard reading, watching and listening and became somewhat obsessed with politics.

Obama said one thing in his acceptance speech that I thought was very unifying.  He said he knew he didn't have everyone's support but he would be their president too.   I'm hoping he will be an excellent president for all of us.    I think it will be a long, long time before we see much progress with our economy or any of the other issues.   I also think we will continue to hear politics on the media for quite a time and I'm tired of it.  However, I will be looking forward to hearing some other world and U.S. news.  

If your candidate won, I know you're very happy.  If your candidate lost, maybe you will give our new president a chance to win your support.   Opening up our hearts and minds to change can be a big risk and cause us anxiety, but it can also be rewarding if the change goes in a good direction for all of us.  ]]>

Taking people for granted is one of the easiest things to do and one of the hardest things to undo.  The same can be said for taking things for granted, whether it be material things or even our own physical or mental health.   The bottom line is that we don't know what we've got until we lose it.

We don't fully appreciate the good things in our lives until we no longer have them.   Loss of a loved one or a broken relationship can cause us a great deal of pain.  Dealing with severe depression or other mental health problems can totally upset our world as we once knew it.  Suffering through difficult physical problems can also be extremely stressful.   When faced with all of these dilemmas we often wonder what happened to the good times.  We often miss them terribly.  

We can learn to cherish our good relationships and other things, knowing we will dearly miss them when they are gone.   Reach out to those you love now rather than later.  You never know when it might be too late.  We'll also miss our 'feelin good' days, so let's be sure to take full advantage of all the ones we get.
 
I loved the music of the 60's and there was a song of the 60's that came to mind the other day after I visited with a dear friend.  The song is called "You Don't Know What You've Got (Until You Lose It)"  I've posted the lyrics below in case some of you might remember it too.  I really liked this song when it was popular and I guess I still do.    Thanks for reading this blog. 


YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT (UNTIL YOU LOSE IT)
(George Burton / Paul Hampton)

Ral Donner - 1961
Big Jim Sullivan - 1961


You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I abused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
I never knew how lonely loneliness could be
And now I need you, dear, as you once needed me
(oh yeah) uh-huh-huh (oh yeah) oh-oh-yeah

So now if you'd come to this lonely heart you own
I'd give you all my lovin' like you've never known
(bung, bung, bung, bung)

You don't know what you've got until you lose it
You gave me you-your love but I misused it
And now I'm sorry for the things I didn't say
`cause I know now I acted in a foolish way

Is apprehension the same thing as anxiety?   According to one definition of apprehension in the Encarta Dictionary,  apprehension is dread...... a feeling of anxiety or fear that something bad or unpleasant will happen.   That sounds pretty much like what most of us feel when we suffer from anxiety.  Frequently we feel this sense of dread when faced with decisions both small and large.  

There is another definition in the Encarta Dictionary which says apprehension can also mean the power or ability to grasp the importance, significance, or meaning of something.  I'm paying special attention to the words "ability to grasp".  I believe our ability to grasp a things importance, whether it be an event, an object, a person, or an idea, is vital to our happiness and peace of mind.   Sometimes we must research or study certain subjects at length in order to inform ourselves, so that we have the "ability to grasp". 

So often when we are not informed or have not yet grasped a situation, we are unsure of ourselves and others.  We find it difficult to make decisions and we suffer from anxiety(apprehension) for fear we will make the wrong decision.   At times we may spend all our time trying to convince family members and others that we know what is correct.  Are we really trying to convince ourselves when we engage in this behavior? 

There is a huge weight lifted from our shoulders when we finally do grasp and understand what we are dealing with....and when we finally do make our decision.   I believe apprehension, the ability to grasp a situation, is the best way to relieve our apprehension(anxiety) when it comes to making decisions, whether that decision involves where to make a major purchase, who to vote for, what church to attend, or decisions about daily events in our lives.   The "ability to grasp" is something most of us can achieve with a little time and effort, thus engaging in a bit of self help.   The time and effort spent might just go a long way in relieving our anxiety.
