Thank you! I try to live by the reality that it is my answer to take care of my problems of any kind if I can. I have followed the advice from the CBT scientists to observe myself so that I know what works for me and what doesn't. That's why I can use former "advice from me to me" also in my current situation. But to know myself don't make me free from mistakes when it comes to overlook triggers that I should have seen. Sometimes life gives us too many problems to tacle at once. We just cannot cope ...

I was depressed during the whole of last Winter and into the cold Spring this year. I carried the depression with my into my vacation, but was able to lower it a bit through daily walks. It has stayed with me for most of the time after I came home again, not so deep though. I think many of us have been thought to look out for triggers, but often we fail to see them.

It is first now, two months after I came home from vacation, that I have been able to gather old advices together and make a six week plan for fighting my depression and hopefully be able to live, not a problem free life, but a life where the control of my life is in "my hands". It will be in the middle of August then.

Every year I am "downloaded" with depression from October/November - February/March, so I really need to be in control before Autumn this year. My plan is to start using a light box before the Winter depression sets in.


Sending good wishes your way!
