An email from a depressed soul... Dear Kristy, I’ve been following you for about a year now and I love your positive posts on Facebook. Every morning I wake up to see if you have any words of wisdom for me, and yes, as crazy as it sounds, I often feel like your posts are written specifically for me! So let me ask you a question and see if you can help me out. In the last 5 years of my life I have gotten divorced from a man I was married to for over 20 years, lost my home in lived in for the last 15 years and lost my job I was working at for almost 12 years. I know you’re a lot younger than me but you always seem to have some great words of advice for lost souls like mine. I cannot seem to get out of this funk I am in. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I am suicidal but I am definitely depressed. Any words of wisdom for this depressed soul living alone in Denver? Sincerely, Depressed in Denver ☹ Dear Depressed in Denver. I know what it feels like to be lost and depressed in life. I know what it feels like to be broken in a million shattered little pieces and broken so much that you dont even know where to begin putting yourself back together. I was one there...and I forced myself back up...I made this video blog JUST for you! You are truly not alone with these feelings. Been there, done that and VERY MUCH understand where you are right now! You are certainly NOT alone...many people, including myself, have been right where you are right now. There are some very specific things that I did to pull myself back up and out of my depression. Its easier said than done but heres what I did.... 1. I considered the lessons that needed to be learned from the break...I realized that everything was happening for a reason...and those reasons needed to be understood and learned!. Dont GO through life..>GROW through life! Learn your lessons or you will repeat the class! :) 2. I got rid of all of the negative people in my life! Sideline the ones you want back in later but for now GET RID of the negative ones! At this point in your life you cannot AFFORD to keep negative people around you, your spirit will be crushed by them! Let them go, if only temporarily, let them go from now! 3. I stopped talking about anything that was or went wrong! I only allowed myself to speak positively! Stop allowing negative in...its that simple! 4. I put new labels on myself...and got rid of the old labels. I stopped referring to myself as someone that was broken, sad, depressed, etc. I started talking about myself as the person I WANTED TO BE, not the person I felt like I was...eventually the surface of you becomes the depths of you...and before you know it you ARE that person! 5. Kindess and gratitude! Its NOT ABOUT YOU...stop focusing on yourself and focus on everyone around you. Think about how you can make anyones life better, how you can help others... AND ALWAYS, AT ALL TIMES, IN ALL WAYS offer your gratitude!
