If I am honest with myself, I'd admit that the depression of yesteryears is trying to creep back into my life. On some days, it absolutely has. However, I've been given tools (spiritual and life tools) to deal with it.
I have to go back and find that list of things I did. However, the most important thing that pulled me out of that dangerous depression prior to 1/21/2002 was the help from God. Although it required me to act on it.
At that time, God moved me to visit the huge bookstore. Other things God brought to me was my running into the SPC at Berkeley. I also began working out again at that time and noticing how fitness of the spirit, body, and mind are all intertwined.
The intense cardio that was so pivotal during my pain management of the neck was also pivotal in my depression episode.
In recent years, I also realize that fish oil does also help some people with depression (myself included). However, check with your doctor first.
In the upcoming days and weeks, I am going to take a semi-break (as I have less clients this month). It's a good chance and great timing to take a semi-break where I will put as priority in working on my "state" which involves altering my environment, my body, my mind, and spirit (not necessarily in that order). I've already started this week.
