Comments on: Zen of Depression, Common Sense, and Trust Your Feelings http://chinspirations.com/mhsourcepage/zen-of-depression-common-sense-and-trust-your-feelings One of the Web's Oldest Personal Mental Health Sites [Est. 1998] Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:49:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Elene http://chinspirations.com/mhsourcepage/zen-of-depression-common-sense-and-trust-your-feelings#comment-63546 Elene Sat, 15 Sep 2007 09:50:03 +0000 http://www.chinspirations.com/mhsourcepage/?p=217#comment-63546 I have seen many patients benefit drastically from giving themselves a 'time out' time. Meaning, that each day, they set aside time to relax and do something they truly enjoy doing. This is like a release valve for them and if they religiously stick with this plan each day, have improved and have reported they are coping with the depression better. One patient I know went from totally stressed out to managing his depression quite well. Does it eventually rid patients of depression? Time will tell, but from what I've seen thus far, is certainly helping. I can suggest doing whatever relaxes oneself, whether playing a game or just sitting in silence, with no distractions.
