Self Help For Depression
by Susan
We all need help at times, even when professional help is not available to us. It's a good idea to have some self help skills when it comes to managing our depression or anxiety. Most of us don't have the time or the money to see a professional everyday or every time we have a problem, so we need to learn good methods of coping that can be used on a daily basis. Good coping skills can also help you to reduce your medication and your visits to professionals.
I used to see an excellent psychologist, off and on, for about 20 years. He taught me many things I can do on my own to deal with my ongoing anxiety and depression problems. The self help skills he taught me have been the most valuable skills I've ever learned and I still use them on a daily basis. Simple things like deep breathing, journaling (or blogging now), exercise and eating well. There are many, many more.
Recently I came across a self help book online that I thought some of our readers might like to explore. It's called Psychological Self-Help by Dr. Clayton E. Tucker-Ladd. This is a free download and might give you some good ideas on how to help you feel better.

What a wonderful resource--it's often forgotten that many depressed people can't afford therapy or antidepressants, especially since depression and unemployment/poor job performance tend to go hand in hand. Thank you so much for providing it.
