what you can do
Depression changes the way you think and also makes it harder for you to deal with those problem and events that come along every day. So while you are getting through depression it’s a good idea to minimise the stress you need to deal with. Here are some tactics to help;
postpone major life changes
If you are feeling stressed or anxious, it’s probably not a good time to move house or change jobs. Major changes are best made when you are feeling better.resolve personal conflicts
Difficulties in relationships can contribute to depression. You may need to get help from a friend or counsellor to work out a solution.do the things you enjoy
Plan some regular time for activities you usually enjoy. You might find it takes a while for the positive feelings to return, so it is important to keep doing the activities regularly.control your workload
Working long hours and taking on major work-related responsibilities can take over your life and contribute to depression. Make sure you have enough time to do the things you enjoy, and if necessary make changes to your work habits.learn to relax
Physical activity can help relieve the tension in your muscles and take your mind off things. Yoga and meditation can help you deal with anxiety. A great way to start is to learn the muscle relaxation or breathing exercise technique.what others can do
If someone approaches you to discuss any of these subjects, make an effort to hear them out. These are often difficult issues to discuss, even when we are feeling good. It’s important to understand that depression is just an illness and accommodating their requests might only be temporary.
