Uncovering the Message Beneath Depression.

While it is important to take positive steps to relieve depression, it is equally important to pay attention
to the messages that your psyche is trying to give you. If you are feeling down, take time for reflection.
What is calling for your attention? Depression is usually accompanied by a feeling of wanting to withdraw,
which might be just exactly what you need to do for a day or two. Take some time out, and allow
yourself to rest, to go inward, and to allow the feelings that are buried to surface. Depression is
sometimes referred to as anger turned inward. Ask yourself what you might be angry or frustrated about,
and try journaling or talking with a trusted friend about your feelings. Often, when you allow the full
expression of your feelings, the depression will lift naturally. If you are severely depressed or if your
depression continues for more than a couple of weeks, seek help. Chronic depression needs to be
evaluated by a mental-health practitioner.

Finally, do as much as you can to nurture yourself when you are feeling down. Use relaxation practices
such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, and visualization excercises. Massage and other forms of
body work can also be a helpful tool for releasing deep emotions, and touch is wonderfully healing for
the body and the spirit. Spend time in nature, watch a favorite film, read something inspiring, listen to
uplifting music. When you have allowed yourself the time to feel all of your feelings, begin to take positive
steps to return to living fully.
