I'm doing 6 things
my shrink told me the problems would “magically” resolve themselves once my depression lifted.
I told him he was crazier than I was.
Damned if he wasn’t right. It did seem like magic, when the depression eased-up the problems just seemed to melt away, but in reality I was just better at dealing with them and a lot of them lost their significance when I was able to put them in perpective.
The things that helped me come out of depression were:
Wellbutrin (also lost 20 pounds)
a non-judgemental shrink
forcing myself to go out and do things when all I wanted to do was lie in bed
as much exercise as I could stand (not much)
a lot of sunlight
forcing myself in live un the present rather than the future (living in the future is when you tell yourself that if you got __ then you would be happy. Living in the present is when you are happy with what you have now.)
