This shares about how someone with depression begins to become joyful again. When someone lives with depression it is often very hard to find joy and find happiness again. One of the reasons is that living with depression is an emotionally trying time. Many with depression feel so tired, overwhelmed and in pain.
The facts are many with depression continue to try and find happiness. It is extremely important to work with your doctor and have open communication with them about your level of depression. It is a medical illness that requires treatment just as a broken bone needs a doctor to help it heal.
One key lesson is to remember that the depression you face is not your fault. It happens to many of us, and it is not our fault. You may be focused on what you have lost, times you failed or others reasons why you are not good enough. This will only push you further into emotional pain.
We believe that education is key to dealing with depression. Our founder nearly died from depression and bipolar disorder in his teens. He had it so bad that he was in and out of five psychiatric hospitals. It took many years to find the right therapy, medications and support groups to rebuild his life.
He is now dedicated to teaching and helping others who face these struggles. Each day, free articles are written on our online magazine. We also provide a library of over 500 educational videos about these topics. We offer several books written to teach others about these topics.
Our final tool is a fantastic one on one coaching program with our founder. He works by phone or skype to coach others to set goals, develop more hope and have a supportive person to encourage you to make progress. We know that his kindness and optimism has helped impact many of his coaching clients. You can call the office of Blake LeVine at (213) 304-9555 or email blakelevinecoach@gmail.com
