Usually when I get depressed I think and think and think and worry a lot. It doesn't help.
rumination is seldom helpful in these cases, I have found. "

Oooh that is profound! Good quote
yes, a gem from joan [baez].
I took action today and called to make an appointment with a counsellor.
Suddenly I have to put my hand up and admit this is a severe depression and it's not going away.
I have all the tools and training but cannot 'fix' or 'sooth' myself.
WP has been keeping me afloat and for that I am grateful.
Good job! Take action!
I saw this guy on Aussie TV last night he had had a rough time had PTSD from being in the army then was a farmer for a few years lost everything (I assume in drought) he was I assume suicidal he had to spend a year in hospital, then he setup a organisation which goes to farmers in the outback delivering them food and and supplies when they’re going through a rough time. He said something which rang true “when things get really bad go out and find somebody who is doing it tougher and help them”.
Maybe u are that someone maybe someone needs u! Maybe u could concurrently help someone while u get help (u don’t have to be 100% to pack a Christmas hamper for a child etc in our crew there was a seriously depressed woman off work for years and she ran rings around the rest of us).
