control my depression

I have come to realize that MANY of my goals are “connected” in one way or the other. And most of them are all tied in with my depression. “Improve my self esteem”, “Stop being so sensitive”, “Stop caring what other people think”, and last, but not least, “Stop allowing other people to ruin my day” are ALL inter-twined. I allowed a snippy little snide remark made by a TOTAL STRANGER on 43T to ruin my day. I felt myself slipping farther and farther into a depressive slump every time I thought about what she said, until I was actually in tears by the end of the day. I wish I hadn’t opened my damn email, and read that little snippet that “set me off”. Obsess much? YES, apparently! I feel absolutely ridiculous about it, but I can’t CONTROL IT, no matter how hard I try. I have a long way to go on this goal.

In my first entry I said that “Controlling my Depression” might help my “Procrastination”. But I think the REVERSE is true ALSO!!!

I finally got around to doing some things I was putting off FOREVER, and it’s SUCH a load off! Since these things aren’t hanging over my head any more, I feel A LOT better about myself, so I am A LOT less depressed right now…

Now that I think about it… it’s also helping to reach my goal of “Improve my Self Esteem”...

So maybe ALL THREE of these things go “hand in hand”???

After reading a lot of other people’s entries,I feel EVEN MORE depressed… Can depressed people actually HELP one another? Just wondering…
