"Would you like to discover how to be happier, stay away from medications that don’t work (and may make you sicker in the long run), and learn concrete steps to take to feel good right now?"

Has this ever happened to you?

You're going along in your life, feeling okay, maybe a bit tired, and in small ways you start to pull away from friends and relatives. You don't even realize that you're doing it at first, but you simply feel too tired to make the effort, and then you start to feel to tired to fake a good mood, and before you know it, you can't wait for Friday to come so that you can leave work and get away from everybody for a few days. You just want to relax, maybe watch tv, or read a book, but what ends up happening is that this actually makes you feel worse. Suddenly after a few days of being alone, you realize that you're feeling really sad and depressed.

Or, how about this? Have you ever taken a vacation that you really looked forward to, planned, and even fantasized about for a long time? But then once you got to your destination, you would start thinking about unimportant but annoying events or conversations you had back at home? Or, perhaps you'd start to feel really annoyed that you didn't have access to the things you loved at home, like your favorite radio station, or your favorite foods, and missing these small things ended up causing you to really be in a bad mood --even though you tried repeated times to forget about these "unimportant" conversations?

Well, that was me. For nearly my whole life I struggled with depression, and began to notice how these little things that really bothered me about myself were actually clues that I should be taking extra care of myself, because they often preceded an episode of depression.

I realize that I wasn't a bad person for having these impulses or tendencies, I simply was doing what anyone experiencing those feelings would do. Sometimes I didn't want to "bring anyone down" by talking about my feelings. Other times I just didn't have the energy to fake it. I think that the last one was the most true for me, because fighting the feelings of sadness could be particularly exhausting.

Did You Know?

That talking about your feelings actually lessens their power over you? Try this: when you're feeling especially sad, or angry about something, simply sit down, close your eyes, and really feel your feelings. Just allow them to be and allow them to come over you, no matter how powerful. Did you notice something? Most of the time we are fighting what we are feeling, which only makes it worse. When we allow the authentic feelings to come through, acknowledging them rather than trying to push them away, they often dissipate or disappear.
