Can’t Get Into the Holidays? Do You Know the Symptoms of Depression?

You must be wondering what happened to me!

It has been far too long since I plugged in and connected with you!

Let me assure you that you have been on my mind daily!

I am always thinking about things I want to share with you and information that is important for you to be aware of.

There is SO much going on in my life with running my business, single parenting my children, and the increased chaos from the holidays!  Overwhelm is down right depressing!

I’m not about to head to my doctor and see what kind of medication he can give me to mask my symptoms of depression.

Depression is my personal rival!

Overwhelm gets to the best of us, but when you begin to experience symptoms of depression, it’s time to nurture yourself and reach out to your support system.

Do Your Symptoms of Depression, Anxiety and Fear Need To Be Drugged?

If your mental health care professional tells you that you should take medication for your symptoms of depression, anxiety and fear, is that reason enough to take it?

Would you like some proof that the medication is safe and effective?

You will not find any scientific proof that psychiatric drugs are safe OR effective treatment for any of your symptoms.

In fact, there is proof that they cause the symptoms they are supposed to treat!

Does that sound scientific to you?  Are you aware of the known side effects of psychiatric medication?

You Owe It To Yourself To Find Out the Facts!  Watch the following video with an open mind and judge for yourself.

It will take 2 and a half minutes to convince you that you should know what you are swallowing.

I hope you feel compelled to share this information with your friends and family, because I would hate to see you or them hurt by a hasty decision.

I want my best friends to have the best care.  What your doctor “doesn’t know” could kill you!

If the drug companies are powerful enough to get away with what they are doing, then it is up to you and me to spread the word.

You will find out more about the side effects of these dangerous drugs if you take the time to go to You Tube and watch the play list for the Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights International.

There is a simple approach to depression and mental health.  You owe it to yourself to try healing without harm BEFORE you succumb to drugs.

Assisted Suicide: Does Death Sound Like Your Best Option?

While checking one of my statistic tools, I noticed that someone found their way to my blog through Google, by typing in the question:

“How do I get someone to kill me for free?”

I have no way of knowing the circumstances around this individual’s wish, but the thought made me sad.

Assisted suicide sometimes feels like the best way out of suffering.

Losing the activities you love really robs your quality of life.  Lose your independence and you may feel ready to leave your body.

Bring on pain and suffering, and the temptation to control the circumstances of your death becomes increasingly attractive.

I’m not one to spend time debating whether or not assisted suicide should be legal, because I choose to focus on what CAN be done to improve life.  There may be a place for that discussion, but it won’t be on this blog.

My purpose for blogging is two fold

#1– to help you understand that you must take care of yourself or you will pay the consequences.

#2– to bring you the urgent message that your body has an amazing ability to heal, so don’t count yourself out.

If you have lost your health, the medical industry wants to drug you and keep you alive while you deteriorate from your illness. Therefore, it seems impossible to believe that the return of your health is even possible.

Feeling Better May Be As Simple As:

• proper nourishment
• focused joy
• plenty of healthy activity.

Assisted suicide is a final, irrevocable decision… you never know what is possible.

People of all ages and situations consider suicide when they reach their limit.

Can Symptoms Of Depression Lead To An Emotional Storm Of Healing?

Depression reminds me of a slow drizzle on a gray day.

Doesn’t depression even feel like a slow drizzle?

I mean it isn’t something you would associate with a down pour.

Depression is more like an endless gloomy day.

__________

We have had an unusual number of gray drizzly days.  Every time I look out my window I feel a bit depressed.

When I get out in the drizzle, I pull my coat around me tightly and hurry through my daily walk.

Well today, I looked up at the sky from my desk and wondered what kind of a walk I would have today.

Intermittent clouds threatened to make it soggy, and after the pounding rains last night, I wondered if I might need an umbrella.

By the time I put my shoes on and leashed up the dogs, it looked like the sun was going to shine down on us.

We hit the road with the cool trade winds blowing a light drizzle in our faces, and the sun warming our backs.

Right away I was struck by the loud sound of flowing water from a stream that had accumulated where there isn’t normally a stream.

“What a treat!”

Just the sound seemed to wash away my dark mood.

When we reached a part of the road where the flowing water traveled through the tall grass and splashed down small unseen water falls, it seemed like the sound was all around us.

The little stream that runs beside our daily walk had come to life during the down pour last night.

Where the new road is being plowed at the end of the pavement, there was glistening beauty, and sparkling playful waterfalls where the bare earth lie exposed yesterday.

I took the time to be still and breathe in the wonderful peaceful feeling the stream had created.

The flowing water seemed to have made the world pure and clean again.

My light mood was a gift from the storm.

Your symptoms of depression really can give way to an emotional storm that can wash away the wounds of the past if you allow it.

Mother Nature’s dramatic storm had washed the world clean.  When you let your emotions RIP… they are capable of washing YOU clean.

Powerful emotions move you!

Whether it is excitement or intense grief, the shear power of the emotion can be felt in your gut, and often causes you to feel like if you don’t move or make some kinda noise, you will just burst.  Powerful emotions get your juices flowing.  If you need professional help to handle it, then get it for yourself.

Intense emotion MUST be expressed!

If you suppress an intense emotion you can feel it rot your gut and climb up your throat.

If you get the message, when you are very young, that it is not okay to express unpleasant emotions, then you develop the habit of stuffing your emotions.

Stuffing your emotions will cause you much suffering.

Emotions are our spiritual compass.  They are meant to give direction in the moment they arise.

It is your choice to follow the direction your emotions point you, or consistently release and ignore them.

When you choose to deny an emotion you prevent the release of that energy.

Emotions become trapped inside you.

Your emotions are not meant to be held!  They must find expression.

Trapped emotions can’t be released until you find stillness.

Bringing stillness to your thoughts and physical senses will create free flowing fluid movement internally.

Once you free hardened, crystallized emotion, resisting it will trap it within your body once again.

Just feel it and release it.

(It is your responsibility to express your angry feelings in private where you will not harm anyone else.)

What Is Facebook?

Are You On a First Name Basis With President Obama?

Can you imagine referring to former President Bush as George?  The thought makes me chuckle.

Yet all over the internet, and elsewhere, I hear folks referring to President Obama as Barack, and the First Lady, as Michelle.

What is Facebook?  Do you know?  Michelle and Barack do!

The day following his historic inauguration, I logged into Twitter

Want To Stop Feeling Depressed?

It is a gray and rainy day on the Big Island of Hawaii.

I started the day with a conversation with a depressed (and depressing) friend.

It really set the mood for the morning.  My friends dark energy just seemed to cling to me.

When I took my daughter to the bus, the cold wind and pounding rain seemed to match my mood.

Last week when we were traveling down our road on the way to the school bus stop, my daughter was awe struck by the beautiful view, and grabbed the camera to take a picture through the wind shield, which was over due for a cleaning.

I was so surprised when I got home and took a look at the picture.

Through that dirty window, she had captured the awesome beauty of the morning.

I chuckled, and thought, “wow, awesome beauty shines so brightly, ya don’t notice how murky your field of vision is.”

It reminded me of life.  No matter how stuck in the mud you are, just keep your eye on awesome, and you will be transformed.

Today, just the memory of that beautiful morning shines a light on my dark mood.

I am blessed.

Leave your email address in the box at the right.  Let’s focus on awesome together.  You don’t have to be depressed.

Let’s stay in touch.

Many blessings,

Carrie
