Depression Self Help
and Empowerment


Depression Self Help ..."Hey, do depressed people DO self help?"

Do "depression" and "self help" go together?

Or is 'depression self help" a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron?...so opposite in meaning that it's a joke, like "definite maybe" or "seriously funny", or the classic, "military intelligence"?



But seriously...

What is the opposite of depression?

I have thought long and hard on that, and there are many answers. For now, let's talk about "empowerment" as the opposite of depression.


If you know that you can take simple steps and make a big difference in your life, would you still be depressed?

You might reply that you wouldn't CARE if you could make a difference - not CARING is what depression IS.


When your experience of life has drowned out the part of you that connects to hope and self worth, when discouragement about the harsh realities of life have been passed down for generations, words like empowerment and possibilities are just so much hot air.

BUT...now we know stuff we didn't know "then". And if we knew then what we know now, I bet there would be less depression.

For ONE thing...

Folks...it is basic brain science! Looky here...

"The brain can be (scientifically) explained as a self-perpetuating, self-fulfilling memory that skews and slants as it filters what gets in…and of course, what gets in is what determines what next gets in …which eventually determines what gets out …which determines what goes on …and so on (does anyone see a PATTERN in the making here?)"
