"Five beliefs or behaviors that are ineffective in managing depression" (from Psych Central).

"1) Telling yourself to snap out of it.

2) Not revealing what’s going on.

3) Underestimating depression.

4) Getting lax with treatment: "When clients start to feel better, they may become “too casual with their treatment plan,” Serani said. This may start with missing medication doses or skipping therapy sessions, she said.Serani often hears clients say: “Why do I have to keep coming for therapy if I feel better? What’s the big deal if I miss a dose of my antidepressant?” "

5) Not being self-compassionate." (All five from Psych Central).

I have presented number 4 here because my treatment plan includes daily structure. I don't feel for doing anything today. So even if I don't want to, I have to force myself gently (nr 5, self-compassionate) to start with the gym at home this day. I will put my timer on. After five minutes I will jump into the first task I have set up for today (30 minutes gym).

To all here: Take care!
