Grief is a heavy emotion that all of us have to carry sometimes. It is unpleasant at best and debilitating at worst, but grief is not inherently bad. Grief is the loss of something precious to us, whether it is a loved one or a pet or a family home or any other precious thing in our lives— grief is valid and hits everyone a little differently. How we experience and process grief is unique to each of us but there are some commonalities that we can explore and understand.

Don’t be afraid to seek help from professionals and loved ones. A common and effective treatment for depression is therapy and a good therapist or life coach can help you get a treatment plan that works well for you. The people we love want to be there for us and letting them help is beneficial to everyone. Let yourself be loved. You’ve got this!

Depression can feel like an inescapable pit, but remember, “your now is not your forever”(John Green). Just because things have been hard for awhile does not mean they always will be. With help and care, you can climb out of that pit and grow to new heights. You are capable, you are loved, and you are valuable.

Setting schedules for yourself is a good step toward helping with depression. Creating patterns of thoughts and routines helps with more than you know. Make the time to work out, stay active in mind and body, socialize when you can, and set a consistent meal and bedtime. This will help your mind and body find balance.

Try taking time to list out activities that you enjoy and plan to do one for a short time each day. A common symptom of depression is not enjoying or doing things we used to love. Giving up and doing nothing makes it so we certainly won’t enjoy anything. Making time for a fun activity is a small way to bring ourselves joy each day.

Depression is normal and does not make you lesser. It is part of the human experience and we should all be empathetic towards it. Lady Gaga said, “Depression doesn’t take away your talents— it just makes them harder to find.” Even when you feel unworthy, worthless, or struggle to get through each day, you are still the same amazing person you have always been. Don’t let the depression take over and make you forget just how wonderful you truly are.

There are lots of types of depression and how depression looks is different for every person. You may think it is not that bad or that you’re managing it well, but one type of depression that is often overlooked is functional depression. People with functional depression are able to move through the day and motions and hide their depression well from others and often themselves as well. Even if you are able to move through the motions, are you enjoying them? You deserve to live your life to its fullest!

Depression is nothing to be ashamed of, and the sooner you begin treating it, the better. Keep an eye out for these signs of depression: fatigue, excessive worrying, lack of interest in things that used to bring you joy, heightened agitation, increased or decreased sleeping, feelings of worry or guilt, and feelings of anxiousness. These are some common symptoms of depression, but you know yourself best. If you feel something is off, be sure to take care of yourself. On that same coin, sometimes we are too close to situations, and those who love us most may notice first. Be open to listening to those who care about you!

There is a stigma in society about mental health and this stigma can make it hard to get the help that we need. We have all experienced depression at one time or another in our lives and that’s part of the human experience. But some of us have bigger feelings and may need more help to climb out of the hole that depression can put us in. That’s natural and fine; there is no shame in being depressed. You are amazing and wonderful, even if you don’t always feel that way.

Remember, setting boundaries is something you can do for yourself, not for others. You cannot make rules for other people, only for yourself. You cannot decide how others should be treated; only you can decide how you should be treated. A boundary is something that you can only make and apply to yourself. Take care of you. You’ve got this!

Loving ourselves does not always come easy, but you are worth the effort, even if you don’t feel that way yet. Taking care of ourselves sometimes comes as a second thought or maybe even not at all, but you are not secondary. Practice boundaries, decompress, utilize self-care. You matter, and taking the time to remind yourself of that will improve your mood and productivity in all other aspects of life.
