[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 148011"] I too think there have been lots of really good responses and ideas mentioned here. It does seem that each of us on our own must personally discover what it takes to cope during a crisis. And I also believe that situational depression is a part of what you are experiencing. This is why I encourage folks to pour on the nurturing big time during a crisis. Sometimes it is a time to seek outside help, to reflect or to allow time to heal. But these things are also part of self nurturance. One thing I wanted to add is that self judgment often goes together with depression. Deep inside, many don't feel like they deserve happiness. We even fear it and therefore repel it on some level. So, I do believe this goes hand in hand with my original thought regarding self esteem. To not be critical of ourselves. Seek improvement/growth, not perfection. To be a friend to ourselves and to welcome happiness. [/QUOTE]
