How To Help A Loved One Deal With Depression
54This is such a hard subject. Here are my ways to help someone you love deal with depression. I have been through this and much worse.
1) Have them talk to their doctor. There are many different kinds of meds out there and they really do work.
2) If you are not interested in medication see a homeopathic. Sometimes people are afraid of the anti-depressants.
3) If you are taking medication take it at the same time everyday. It helps when you body adjust to it instead of taking it at different times on different days.
4) Get your loved one a journal. Journaling is a good form of therpay. Write down exactly how you are feeling at that particular time. Journal as you are going through the depression. It makes for a better day.
5) Be understanding and continue to love them. Make sure they know that you are always there and that you love them.
Love is the Answer!

I suffer from major depression..bi-polar disease. It did not take me to seek help, it took others. Sometimes its more difficult to try and find the solutions yourself.. depression takes everything out of you. Talking is a definite must!
You must open up the conversations and dont skirt around your feelings. Tell your loved one of your concerns.. and also share the info you have been given or have found from others. They need to know that this is not something that they suffer alone with.
Good luck and God Bless...its a hard road for those that have to stand at the side of the road and watch. My husband is the most wonderful man and daily he helps make me stand up and face the world again, but at least I am now.
