Depressedanon.com Website Review

we seek to prevent depression through education and by creating a supportive and caring community through support groups that. successfully keep individuals from relapsing into depression. everyone has a story to tell. everyone has at least one book inside of them that needs to be written.  in her award winning book, depression: the way out of your prison, dr. dorothy rowe tells us how getting our story told can be  life- changing, and for some life-saving. below are  her thoughts on the importance of sharing one’s story with that person who is willing to listen. help comes in two ways -from yourself and from other people. but help cannot come from other people unless you are prepared to find it and accept it. you have to find the people to confide in and you have to overcome your habit of keeping things to yourself. perhaps you are ready to confide in someone, but there is no one available. your family will not listen, and your doctor prefers to write you a so you need to find someone who will listen. someone outside the family and, possibly, outside work, is usually best—someone who has no vested interest in keeping you as you are or who has no reason to feel guilty about what you might disclose. it need not necessarily be just one person. on your journey out of your prison of depression you will meet many different gurus, people who throw light on your darkness. a nurse might listen to your fears about your health and the drugs you take, and may find the words to calm your fears. a friend may share with you the burden of family responsibilities. a pastor  or priest might listen and acknowledge your religious doubts and fears and impart the courage and trust which enables you to deal with these. of course, not everyone you hope to confide in will respond in and then rowe continues to say that “you might like to consult a professional listener of some sort. you may find someone in the health service, or you might go to a private therapist. talking to people who have been depressed and are now coping is tremendously helpful.”
