May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Heres a tip from our Live Forward Pastor Steven Blair on how to fight depression: That bodily impulse someone experiences to withdraw from other people when they have the flu existed to keep whole villages from getting sick when we our ancestors lived in close villages. Because depression is biological, the body treats it like other biological illnesses. While withdrawing from others is a great idea when someone has the flu, it is the worst thing to do when you have depression. If you have depression and are withdrawing from others, find comfort that your body is biologically wired to pull you away when you have physical inflammation. It isnt your fault. Now, when you feel the urge to withdraw decide instead to connect to someone. bit.ly/1mqEtK4
