Many of my clients tell me how frustrated they fee Many of my clients tell me how frustrated they feel that other people in their lives often just don't understand their depression. Advice that is offered with good intention but that often just doesn't reflect the sufferer's true experience. It can be really helpful to explain how you feel by painting a mental picture. Often I'll hear of thick curtains or glass walls, for example, that the person with depression sits behind whilst everyone else is "out there in the real world". Images can be so helpful to get across you feel inside. Do any of these explanations of what depression can feel like resonate with you? Can you add a different way of explaining it? Let me know in the comments or feel free to share in a private message.

Having regrets is a very difficult experience. Apa Having regrets is a very difficult experience. Apart from brining up challenging and uncomfortable emotions, it can really affect your self-worth and also your sense of hope for the future. But what if you looked at the things that have happened in your past and you told that same story in a different way? What if nothing has actually gone wrong? What if you didn't make a mistake? What if everything has happened exactly the way it was meant to? Then what are you needing to learn right now?

I deeply, deeply believe that depression isn't som I deeply, deeply believe that depression isn't something that just falls upon you out of nowhere. There are root causes and often multiple things that are missing in your life. In that way, depression itself isn't your problem, but rather the things that are driving it. Depression is like your body and soul's warning signal telling you that something just isn't right. Part of my work as a nutrition and lifestyle medicine practitioner and also trained coach (and trainee counsellor) is to work with my clients in identifying what has contributed to their depression. Often it's multiple factors. And then we get to work on those in a personalised way, thereby actually addressing those parts that are often missing in life. If you'd like more info on my work, send me a private message or head to my website via the link in my bio. . . . * * * * * #depressionhelp #depressionremedies #depressionrecovery #beattheblackdog #mentalhealthawareness #moodbooster #integrativementalhealth #healingisajourney #noquickfix #thereisnomagiccure #depressiontherapy #depressiontherapist #howtoovercomedepression #beatdepression #mentallystrong #mentallybetter #psychologymeme #holisticpsychology #rootcausemedicine #kristinneff #selfcompassion #overcomedepression #holisticmentalhealth #mentalhealthadvice #mentalhealthtips #improvingmentalhealth #mentalhealthwarrior #bettermentalhealth
The way modern life is setup can really contribute The way modern life is setup can really contribute to the shockingly high rates of depression. Think how hard it can be to support yourself and your family financially. Or how hard it can be to have a job that is deeply rewarding and meaningful to you. How lonely so many of us feel (particularly now after months of surviving within a pandemic). The deep political divide. The climate crisis and what it might mean for the future. The excessive focus on technological advancement. The forgotten benefits of hours spent doing very little in nature. The education system and whether it really prepares us and our kids to lead healthy, meaningful lives. So many of us don't know how to listen to one another. Distractions and consumerism everywhere. If you are suffering from depression, it's hard not to think that there's something wrong with you. But the reality is that depression is often at least partly caused by factors that are outside our immediate control. What do you think would you change if you could design modern living? If you could design a village or city, what would you focus on? Follow @claudia.smith.wellbeing for tips and advice on holistic solutions for depression.

Do you recognise any of these signs? I had them al Do you recognise any of these signs? I had them all when I was sinking into depression, but I didn't necessarily know what was going on. It's so important to know what your particular warning signs of declining mental health are. Why? So that you can take action before things get really, really low. Would you add another warning sign to this list? What do you notice changes when your mental health takes a dip? What suffers? What's different? What's harder? Let me know in the comments.
