DEPRESSION ISN'T OUR FRIEND

OFF DAY OR DEPRESSION THAT STAYS?

According to the World Health Organization depression is the fourth most disabling condition in the world, and expected to rise to second (behind heart disease) by 2020.
NO MATTER WHY THIS IS HAPPENING WE NEED TO GET HELP TO THOSE WHO NEED IT.

There is a difference between having an Off-Day and Depression. 
  • Off-day is when things just don't go quite right: you can't find your keys, you miss the bus, you locked yourself out, you ran out of gas, you forgot the item you went to the store for, and you broke a glass all over the floor ALL ON THE SAME DAY.
  • Depression is deeper and makes it impossible to function in your day to day activities. It is isolating because you feel like no one understands. You have decreased energy, your internal chemical balance if off, and it affects your sleep.


When we are depressed we need to literally force ourselves to take small steps to turn depression around. It can be having oatmeal instead of a sugary cereal, taking a walk around the block or just calling a friend to see how "they" are doing. Just "1" of those steps will start changing what is holding you back. Even remembering something that used to make your laugh helps to reclaim your life. Taking three deep breathing exercises holding the breath for 3-seconds helps to get your blood flow back and THAT is a beginning only you can take. 
You are worth it. 
  
These two-essential oils can be a part of turning things around: 

TANGERINE ESSENTIAL OIL:  
Soothes your nervous system. It has an uplifting scent. You can rub it on the bottom of your feet daily, you can place a few drops in a defuser and inhale it at the office or at home
