I don't really know how other bloggers keep up with their blogs. I do my best to keep up with emails, and texts, and then forget about blogging.
Suddenly though, I think of something that might be interesting to others. I have read other peoples tweets and blogs and am not entirely sure I want to know when someone is tiling, or grouting, or even watching a TV programme. I am interested in other peoples behaviour though.
Even though it is very warm and sunny, which often makes people feel happier, there are people who feel so depressed, the weather makes no difference to them. To date in my career, I have yet to meet someone who said they instantly became depressed overnight, that everything had been fine in their life before the onset of depression.
We all have down days, and we can't really call this depression, just a day when you don't feel so good, you have lost a bit of zest. Depression can last a long time, so if you have been feeling down and miserable for more than 3 to 4 weeks, then you could say you are experiencing depression. You may not be sleeping well, or eating well, or even over eating. Nothing makes you feel motivated, and you have to push yourself to do the most simple of tasks.
Drugs can work well in combination with therapy, because drugs never get to the root cause of what makes you feel so down. You need to understand what is happening and what experiences you have had that could be the cause of it. There are many therapies to experience, and if at first you don' succeed try someone else or another kind of therapy. Finding the right therapist for you can also be daunting, especially if you can't be bothered talking. Just trust your instincts, and listen to what the therapist says before making any appointment. Many offer a free consultation and it is their way of gaining good rapport with you so you will return. This can be really beneficial for you, again especially if you have not been recommended to the therapist.
Hypnosis is not a quick fix as many people would like to believe. I wish it was, but you have to be patient, if you have anxiety or depression. Hypnosis does make you feel calm and relaxed and a build up of hypnosis allows you to change the perceptions you have of the world.
