It has come to my attention that many Jehovah's Witnesses suffer depression for a wide variety of reasons. I am no longer a Jehovahs Witness but many of my friends and family are. So this is very important to me.
One website i found to have good information is www.ehow.com. They recommend:
1. Go outside. Get some fresh air and sunshine.
2. Good ol' exercise. Go for a nice walk or bike ride.
3. Start a journal or diary. Get your feelings out.
Also don't forget: laughter is the best medicine. Visit with friends and loved ones. Let them know how you are feeling. Let's get through this together. You do not have to do this alone. Do not suffer in silence. If your negative feelings do not go away seek help. Tell your doctor.
We all feel down sometimes but if it continues get help. Do you have trouble sleeping or concentrating. Do you feel irritable more times than not? Do you feel aches and pains but the doctor says you appear to be in good health? These could be signs of depression and you should let your doctor know. Educate yourself. Do some research into the signs and what you can do about your depression. www.ehow.com has some good advice as well as www.helpguide.org/mental living is another website that had some very good information.
