Depression

As Mandy is demonstrating for you, sometimes you may get depressed or down. What can you do about these blues? A few suggestions – do something for someone else. Strange as it may seem, helping others often is a boost to mood.

Make a plan for the next week or so, remind yourself of your goals and think about how you can get a step or two closer in the next week.

My final suggestion is to try something new, take an art or language class, or learn a new skill. Do something that gets you excited again. If you find that you are depressed for a long period or feel suicidal, please talk to your physician or a licensed therapist.

Next time, we will have a guest blogger. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Send me an email with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
