Depression can occur even from very small events of our lives , we should always stay in contact with our friends ,relatives cauz they are a strong emotional support of us . Religious grounds are alwys a ultimate way of curing any problem

I have certainly felt blue before – and have had bouts of depression. But nothing long term.

I really like this article. You’re right, that light is always there, but it is us who must free it.

Loraleigh and Julie,

Thank you.

For those of us that have suffered from depression, it does help to have a way out in mind, however mechanical it feels to us at the time, as you say Loraleigh.

And I totally agree with you Julie, that we are never as alone as we feel.

John, great post!
I know this is a self-help blog, but I just wanted to highlight a point in your list:
“Join a group: hobby, professional, toastmasters, depression support, exercise”

For someone who is depressed, know that they are not alone, and that there’s also a world of support and help out there…

Another good one John and you are absolutely right.

Whenever I get depressed, at some point I make a list of what needs to be done. Then, however mechanically the task gets done, just the fact that I’m up and moving seems to bring me back to the light.

Thank you
