May Lord revive and restore you to good health.

_it seemed to Kirsch that the most reliable guide to the mental landscape of a patient was the patient himself. He was better placed to explain his behaviour and his experiences than anyone else. Yet wherever Kirsch went, the patient was the very last person anyone thought to consult. Because, of course, the patient was insane.

In our circle, stress was a valuable status marker: I stress, therefore I am.

I__e been married but I__ not anymore. And I still believe in love.

Just as a stressful life can make you depressed, continuing exposure to stressors maintains depression.

When you know truly know that God loves you it won't matter when others don't. And when you know truly know that God accepts you it won't matter when others won't.

As far as he could discover, there were no signs of spring. The decay that covered the surface of the mottled ground was not the kind in which life generates. Last year, he remembered, May had failed to quicken these soiled fields. It had taken all the brutality of July to torture a few green spikes through the exhausted dirt.What the little park needed, even more than he did, was a drink. Neither alcohol nor rain would do. Tomorrow, in his column, he would ask Broken-hearted, Sick-of-it-all, Desperate, Disillusioned-with-tubercular-husband and the rest of his correspondents to come here and water the soil with their tears. Flowers would then spring up, flowers that smelled of feet."Ah, humanity..." But he was heavy with shadow and the joke went into a dying fall. He trist to break its fall by laughing at himself.

Suicide and mental health problems have no boundaries.

An observant friend will recognize the signs of the rise of grief: eyes that easily well with tears, a smile that is difficult to sustain, a tendency to withdraw. And ultimately, perhaps we each need to create our own symbol of grieving _ to wear our version of black, or maybe to color with black crayons for a while.

Ignoring to change your thoughts and beliefs wouldn't fail to cause your negative mood to remain unchanged.

Before the state of stress or depression comes some frequent negative interpretations of one's experiences.

Repeated positive interpretations of one's negative experiences are the greatest medicines for stress and depression.

Negative experiences don't create fears, doubts, anger, grudges, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, jealousy, stress or depression; one's repeated negative interpretations of them do.

Things weren__ always as good as they are now. In school we learned that in the old days, the dark days, people didn__ realize how deadly a disease love was.For a long time they even viewed it as a good thing, something to be celebrated and pursued. Of course that__ one of the reasons it__ so dangerous: It affects your mind so that you cannot think clearly, or make rational decisions about your own well-being. (That__ symptom number twelve, listed in the amor deliria nervosa section of the twelfth edition of The Safety, Health, and Happiness Handbook, or The Book of Shhh, as we call it.) Instead people back then named other diseases__tress, heart disease, anxiety, depression, hypertension, insomnia, bipolar disorder__ever realizing that these were, in fact, only symptoms that in the majority of cases could be traced back to the effects of amor deliria nervosa.

Get off the Medical System and onto the Self Care System

You are not walking slow enough, when taking a walk, if you do not come across as bored or depressed (to the average sane person).

Stop shying away from people. If you actually took a moment to listen to what they have to say, they might just say something that will change your life.
