Accepting What God Gave Me.... I think the hardest thing about accepting my limitations, is remembering, what I had before. I have found, myself looking back to how I was before, I was ill. I too often want to look at what I had before, instead of being grateful for what I have today. When I got sick I thought the world ended and why was I given this dreadful disease. I had to learn to appreciate what I have and let go of what I had in the past. It is still easier said then done. I have learned that God has given me lots of gifts because of my illness. I have learned to appreciate when the sun rises, it rains, birds chirp, and much more. I’ve learned to appreciate the time I have with my daughter and family. Learning to accept the gifts God gave me, even if it wasn’t my plans, is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Today I accept what God gave me:
He gave me the sun He gave me my pets He gave me the moon He didn’t give me what I wanted But, he gave me his love And his love is like a river It always keeps flowing He gave me the trees He gave me the water And the air to breathe And the ground to walk What did he give me most? A family to love And friends to have And most of all is a life to live. And I’m thankful today ©all rights reserved |

I have been dealing with depression for years. Its seems to get the worst at the darndest times. I have found different ways of copping with my depression. One of the most effective ways is calming myself down. Some of the ways I combat my depression is taking a bath, swinging on my porch swing, putting on a little makeup, or playing with my pets. Find something that you enjoy doing to help keep your mind occupied. I have had periods of time that I have taken antidepressants. Sometimes the antidepressants help and sometimes they don't help at all. Sometimes therapy is needed to combat depression and to get to the root of the depression. Millions of people don't seek help for depression because of the stigma associated with mental illness. I am a firm believer that depression can cause you physical pain. If you don't feel good it makes it hard to even want to move around. Children can suffer from depression and many go undiagnosed. Children as they reach adolescence, have to deal with so many pressures. They deal with peer pressure, bullying, stereo typing, low self esteem, low self confidence, and many other pressures. Some children have good luck with antidepressant medications and/or therapy. I think the important issue is to get to the root of the problem. The only way a parent can get to the root of the problem is putting their selves in the child's place. A child needs lots of support dealing with depression. It takes a lot of patience to be able to get to the point that the depression doesn't overshadow everything else. Recurrences of depression can happen at anytime without any warning. Yelling or screaming at a child while there dealing with depression only decreases there moods and increases the depressing symptoms. Be sure to get help for your child dealing with depression. Some symptoms of depression are feelings of hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, and extreme irritability. If you have symptoms of depression please see your doctor or health care provider. The purpose of this blog is to provide some information on depression, not to take the place of a doctor or health care providers advice. |
