Myths about depression

1.  It's a weakness instead of an illness

2.  Highly intelligent people do not get depression

3.  People with depression are "crazy"

4.  There are ethnic groups for whom depression does not occur

No depression is NOT a weakness, depression is an illness like any other.

Highly intelligent people could get depression, why wouldn't they.

Being depressed is NOT you being crazy, only people that are not knowledgeable would believe this to be true.

Mental illness does not discriminate.  I suffer from depression, is it because I'm Latina. NO it's because I have a mental illness.

If you suffer from depression don't hide it.  It's nothing to be ashamed of.  Tried to get help.  If your friends turn their backs on you because you have a mental illness, they not worth your friendship.

The Holidays are over!

Holiday Depression

Holidays and depression.......

The Holidays especially Christmas and New Years are the most depressing holidays.  Well fir me at least.  I know it's a hard holiday to face alone if you suffer from depression.  Not that I personally spend alone, but I still feel depressed. Because of all the love ones I had lost.  

Christmas holiday was always the most joyful for me.  Now it's the saddest. Christmas always been my favorite holiday but now it's tainted buy all those that have loved dearly and have been so very special to me.  Has passed away in December.

So to all those that suffer from depression I still want to say, that I know it could be stuff.  But remember your really never alone that there many people out there going through the same. 

Just try to remember when you had a nice and care free and joyful holiday....

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

Seasons greetings.  

Just random thoughts and writing with a touch of truth to it

Food for thought...........

I was just thinking how technology has ruined life. Yes they are a great form of entertainment. N i don't know how I ever lived without it.  When I  was a teenager I used to read n sew.  Now I look at my sewing machine n say oh maybe tomorrow I will to do something. Well no I get up n check my cell or iPad.

I have heard young people say I wish I had a love like that. That I marry n we last as long as our grandparents. That we have that 20, 30, 40,50 years of marriage. How could that happen now a days. Now that kind of togetherness is hardy seen. Why because of a cell phone trying to track you down.  Oh you call your better half and they don't answer. Well already you get worried or pissed. Depending on the situation. In our grandparents time there was no way to communicate with each other. Unless you send smoke signals like the Indians did. 

And then we have social medias. Social media was done to keep in touch with everything. Not go search for someone to play your boyfriend or girlfriend with. Not for people to instigate and try to break up relationships.

I have been married 2 times n I haven't been an angel everyone in our times f.... Up at times. But in the relationships that have lasted years is because people try to work things out n they forgive and continues loving each other. No one is perfect. Everyone has there way of being and I find that actually living with someone is so hard. You could get so pissed n hate the person. But like they always say there is a thin line btw love n hate. I for one would have made my marriage work. But I choose

 not to. Now I am alone wondering what if........

This is just random thinking. Not intended for anybody in particular.... Oh I forgot to mention I LOVE to write.

Fruits n vegetables to combat Depression n other ailments

When there wasn't any medication for every sickness,people used certain roots, berries, etc....

To cure themselves or bring relieve.

I am going to share these fruits, vegetables with you so that every could start eating a more healthy diet.

Also something you could use for depression.

A easy way to feel better when depressed

Music is one of the best kind of therapy for depression.  I am not saying that it cures it.  I am just saying that lively music gets me out of my depression mood.  But not sad music.  Like I listen to oldies cause it reminds me of my childhood.  And I had a very good childhood. So it makes me happy.  

But if I listen to sad romantic music about love and break ups I get more depressed because I didn't have a good marriage.  So you see that's what I call sad music.  Listen to music that makes you laugh, sing and dance.  I used to love to dance but in my home not in clubs.  So I would put on dancing music and dance and sing all around my house cleaning it.  Now that I am much older I can't dance or do a lot of movement because of my back and vertigo.  But I love to listen to it. 

Well I hope you could unwind and listen to music and get in a better mood. Now they have music therapy (go figure) just like physical therapy and occupational therapy. I also hope you enjoy these music quotes.
