7. If You’re Depressed, It’s OK!

We are hoarders of all things that makes us happy.  We want to remain in that space forever and sadly that’s not how life works.  This is probably why so many people get addicted to drugs and other stimulants, because they found “something” that made them feel happy, so they try to remain in that constant state of happiness, which isn’t supposed to be.  Then the inevitable happens, the sadness or all the “bad” feelings hit everyone around.

7.  If you’re depressed, it’s ok!  It’s part of life, just don’t stay there, shake yourself and keep it moving.

I understand that there are different levels of depression.  There is the extremely severe kind, where professional help is needed (I’m not referring to that kind here).  However, there are some that are attached to the monthly cycle, peri-menopause or menopause (for women) that may be associated with hormonal levels.  Some are linked to the end of something that makes us sad or depressed.  It’s ok. It’s life.  No, you’re not crazy!  No, you don’t need antidepressants; you just need to find that happy space again.  Do some positive self talk, read a book, find some comedy on television and laugh your head off.  

Take sometime for yourself, by yourself and find your happy, and let’s keep it moving.
