ATTENTION!




(The blushing face is for feeling a bit ashamed for crying out "ATTENTION" and the angry face is for "Why shouldn't I?").

OK, what happened was that I suddenly started to have a depressed feeling. I red something that upset me and reminded me of something that happened years ago. I could have been stuck at the table and opened up for the depression to creep in. Instead I recognized it as a trigger. I mean I did both: I recognized the trigger and became angry (feeling) and at the same time told myself to be active (selfcare to not allow myself to sink deeper in the depressed feeling).

Now, after being active, I'm sitting here with a cup of tea, relaxed and relieved. I was able to react in an alternative way toward the trigger. I am proud of myself. And so I want you to be when you fight against what can trigger depression in your lives. Post it here and be proud of yourself!

For now I'm going to take a shower, make dinner and eat it before I go to the dance.
