Depression- Symptoms and Where To Get Help

• Some Common Depression Symptoms: 
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness, or hopelessness
• 
  
• Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, including sex
•  
• Difficulty concentrating and complaints of poor memory
•  
• Insomnia or oversleeping
•  
• Appetite changes, which may include weight gain or loss
•  
• Fatigue, lack of energy
•  
• Thoughts of suicide or death
•  
• Slow speech; slow movements

*  In children and teens- they may include: 

  Trouble with sleep

 Stomachache, dizziness

-  Social withdrawal, weight loss

-Drug abuse or alcohol abuse, a change in school   performance            

 Difficulty concentrating  

 Isolation from family and friends

         

   There is a difference between just feeling sad or "depressed" and having a “clinical” depressive mental illness. If you have low spirits for a while, there may not be cause for alarm. However, if you feel like you cannot lift yourself out of your low spirits, and/or begin to notice other physical symptoms such as changes in sleep, appetite, or energy, you should seek professional help.

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is type of psychotherapy. 

It can be very effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD can occur after experiences such as military combat, physical assault, rape, or other traumatic events.

EMDR can also help with:

• Panic attacks
• Eating disorders
• Addictions
• Anxiety

It does not rely on talk therapy or medications. Instead, EMDR uses a patient's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements. 

These eye movements dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of past traumatic events.

Your therapist will engage in something such as moving their fingers back and forth in front of your face, have you look at a blinking light, listen to clicking sounds, or even listen to musical tones. While this is taking place, the therapist will have you recall a disturbing event. 

This will include the emotions and body sensations that go along with it. 

Gradually, the therapist will guide you to shift your thoughts to more pleasant ones.

The goal is that your disturbing memories will hopefully become less disabling.

It's Never Too Late to Have a Happy Childhood!

Are there parts of your childhood that are not happy memories? 

You can re-write and re-live parts of your childhood over again! It does not matter how young or old that you are.

What would you like to experience but didn't get to?

What would you change if you could? What parts can you re-live and experience? Go for it! Age does not matter. Chase a dream. Pursue a passion. Do something that you have always wanted to do......

Visit a zoo

Finger paint

Splash in mud puddles

 Get that hair style you always wanted to try  

Swing on a swing set

Watch an old TV show

But a metal lunch box

Forgive

Reach out to loved ones

Let go of regret

Sing in the rain

Build a snowman

Pick flowers

Listen to old music

Play ball with neighbors

...............What other ideas can you think of that you would like to do?

Have fun! Be creative!

 Have Hope! Renew Health! and...........

There is ALWAYS HOPE and HEALING!
Do Not Give Up!
