Above all: Let your case against yourself rest.
Try these suggestions:
1. Examine
the way you talk to yourself. Detach yourself from negative
self-talk.
2. Reach for ways to trust yourself more, to learn from
your endeavors,
whether they work out or not.
3.
Accept
your humanity as fallible, rather than terminally flawed.
Find ways to be kinder toward
yourself.
4.
Don’t
isolate yourself, but do find solitude.
5.
Exercise breaks up depression. Get moving.
6.
If
you overeat, cut back. If you’ve stopped eating,
eat 3 balanced meals daily.
7.
Stop
drinking, drugging, sleeping too much, and glowering
at
the TV.
8.
Ask
for help. Find a therapist who will work with you.
Talk
with a trusted friend about your feelings.
