How to help someone with depression...help him or her get an appropriate depression diagnosis and treatment. Encourage the person to stay with treatment or to see different treatment if no improvement occurs. Use understanding, patience, affection and encouragement to offer emotional support. Encourage participation in some activities that once gave pleasure, but do not push the depressed person to undertake too much too soon. Encourage the person to join a depression support group where they can share in a non-judgmental environment. Remember that depression is not something a person can "snap out of" nor can he or she "choose to be happy instead." Depression is a mental illness, not a choice.
Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along.
You cannot recover from anxiety by just staying calm. You cannot recover from depression by just being positive. You cannot recover from anorexia nervosa by just eating more. If mental illnesses were that simple, we wouldn't be struggling in the first place.
See the light in others and treat them as if that is all you see. - Dr. Wayne Dyer
If you are always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in?
Forgive them. All of your thems. The more thems you can forgive, the better you will feel.
When you build in silence, they don't know what to attack.
Stop being afraid of what could go wrong, focus on what could go right.

Move on from your past and be done with it. Your bitterness won't change a thing. Stop stressing over it and let it go.
The kindest thing you can do for someone else is listen without forming an opinion.
Outer beauty pleases the eye. Inner beauty captivates the heart. - Mandy Hale
You don't have to stop having fun when you get old...you get old when you stop having fun.
To find peace you have to accept life as it is - rather than as you would like it to be.
To find peace you have to accept life as it is - rather than as you would like it to be. <-- So much wisdom in this one. And I'd like to add, being grateful for what we have.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs, Linda. I hope you have what you need soon. x
Koala walks, is very nice Linda. I wish you a happy wednesday.
ReplyDeleteIt's very important what you written about depression. Some people don't understand how much difficult it's.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week :)
Dear Linda!
ReplyDeleteI liked the videos about Koala and Glass Bottom Pool that it's a magic. I'd love to swim there. Thanks for sharing!
What a pleasant surprise visit by a koala. I wouldn't dare swim in the glass bottom swimming pool. The underground houses are very unique and I am sure they make very comfortable homes.
ReplyDeleteYou post so many beautiful word and quotes, Linda. Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDelete"If you are always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you're in?" That sounds a bit like me, I am always on the go and I seldom get the chance to sit and relax!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud at Mount Rushmore as seen from the Canadian side. :) So funny.
I hope that things are looking up for you, take care, warm hugs Diane
'See the light in others...', hope they will help you as wel, Linda.
ReplyDeleteDone, friend Linda :) .... Love, cat.
ReplyDeleteHello, love the cute koala video. Your quotes are always wonderful, I wish more people were kind and respectful of others. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I am so sorry you are having to move. I prayed that the Lord would open doors for you and guide and lead. I have been in and out of pocket blogging due to vacation and sickness. Why are you having to move? Praying for you this morning. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I've the courage to walk on the glass pool........ xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the underground homes. That's very clever in such a hot climate. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Linda. Big hugs. ♥♥♥
Good morning, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLoved that sweet koala video, but I wasn't able to continue watching the "bottomless" pool... Scary. The other videos were great as were the quotes. Mount Rushmore gave me a good belly laugh. Thanks for that!
Hope all is well on the moving front! Let us know when you find something.
God bless you, Linda.
I found a couple of really good ones for what I'm dealing with! Have a nice day, Linda.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting videos. Enjoyed them all. Great quotes. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteLos vídeos muy bonitos decir que aquí en España también hay casas subterráneas pero creo mas modestas que las que nos muestras australianas.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
Excellent words of encouragement today! I saw that 'Somewhere in Canada' post on FB...cracked me right up!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love that glass bottom pool! What an unique idea! I'd love to visit there but it's a bit scary :-)
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile in Canada.. est vraiment très drôle Linda
ReplyDeletehave a nice day
Thank you for your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteRacing to the next moment, that is really true... and sad.
Have a good day
Ha, ha I've seen that "back of Mt Rushmore" before since I grew up about 20 miles away. We used to have postcards that showed a row of bare butts. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely words of wisdom. My favourite is,

Praying that all comes together for you. Love and (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your Aussie theme today. xo
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, and happy mid-week wishes.
ReplyDeleteAnother brilliant and thoughtful collection here for us.
Many thanks
All the best Jan
all I can think about is that terrifying swimming pool! I may dream about it tonight, Linda! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe glass bottom pool is truly terrifying alright ... I do not think I would ever step on that or swim in that ... O well, maybe if my life depended on it or my kids life, but even then, maybe be maybe not ... Love, cat.
DeleteFun and interesting once again Linda, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. My mum's having depression right now after my dad passed away around a month ago, 93. She's 89. Was in the medical centre for over a week and is recovering now, just discharged yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHello Linda!:) Thank you for these really lovely collection of quotes, and videos. I could totally identify with the Rainwaters quote, and many others. It was intriguing to see the underground homes, or a should say town. I couldn't watch the whole video clip of the glass bottomed swimming pool, and it's not something I would like to swim in, as I suffer from vertigo, but it is a novel and fun idea for the adventurous. Of course I loved the cute and curious Koala video,..how I would love one to walk inside my house.:) I hope all is well with you, take care dear Linda.X
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful videos and great quotes. Linda, thanks for posting this and for all the preparation you spend on gathering these little gems.
ReplyDeleteThe video about the underground city in Australia was fascinating. And I love the Canadian view of Mt. Rushmore. :)
ReplyDeleteYou always post a lot of fun things. The koala bear video and the Mount Rushmore picture was funny! As for that swimming pool...no way for me! (Rob)
ReplyDeleteYou wonder what the koala thinks walking around the house.
ReplyDeleteThat pool freaked me out! LOL! Love the Mount Rushmore one too! LOL! Big Hugs Linda!!
