If only I could

Fill in the blank: If only I could _________.

For lets say 37 years, my answer to that was stop struggling with depression. It is a burden. It is crippling. It is isolating. But then again it can be comforting. So it may be hard for people to make the effort to even try to control depression. They don’t want to leave their comfort zone. When I trained to be a life coach, I went through the very simple system to get better, and I felt relief at once. Answering the first questions, I understood my why, and everything changed. You can change too. Two depression courses are available: Come Into Your Power or Depression Ditchers. I also recommend the Hypnosis course. Find them here: https://lylcoach.lifecoachhub.com/shop

Confused Thinking

When I was doing depression, one of the issues I had was confused thinking. My mind would go in 5 different directions at once. I would also overthink. What if? What if? What if? It was exhausting. What helped was to just start talking. Whatever was on my mind, I just let it out. I would start one subject and change to another. Back and forth. But you know what in time I started to make sense. I would keep on track and finish a thought. Once I got all those mixed up thoughts cleared up, I was able to get better. I did it with a very simple system, Come Into Your Power, and you can too. There are other options. https://lylcoach.lifecoachhub.com/shop

Comfort in depression

I know that when I was struggling with depression I felt comfort in it. That was a reason that it was hard to take the steps to ditch depression. Depression was familiar. I did not want to bring uncertainty to my life. But you know what, to have control over depression is better. I no longer feel crippled by it. I can be my true and authentic self. I no longer hide who I am. Live large.

Depression is not mental illness

Depression is not a mental illness.

I know a lot of people think that it is, but it isn’t. It is a tool that one uses to cope with life. It is a habit. It fills a need. It has a role to play in your life.

I used it for decades. Then, I studied to become a life coach. As I learned the lessons of how to help others, I helped myself. I figured out why I did it. And that was the biggest part of getting me on the path to change. I understood me for the first time. I knew why I struggled with depression. I also learned that I could develop a new and improved response for when I had a need to cope with life. This is a response that is on the ready for when I need it. I created a new habit. Life is a lot better.

My Groove

Even if you do not struggle with depression, you know someone who does. This is for them.
I have been a depression coach since 2016. I have worked with some amazing people. I have used my own experience to help others to live better. That is my groove. I love helping others to have a better life by guiding them in a shift in mentality.

I understand

How would having someone who understands the struggle of depression give guidance and the steps for success make your life better?

For me, that was learning to become a life coach. When I started the course, I immediately felt better because I knew, for the first time in decades, that I had the answer. Really, all I needed was the instruction on how to help others. For what it is worth, that is available to you in an easy to follow short course. This the exact same process I did to ditch depression plus other material.

End the struggle

How would not struggling with depression make your life better?

For me, it meant more peace. It meant feeling a burden had been lifted. It meant feeling I can be me. I can be my authentic self around others. It meant understanding me and others. I know what motivates me.
Let me know.

Frustrated

What is the most frustrating thing for you with doing depression?

For me, it was feeling alone and different and not in a good way. I felt I had to lie about how I was really feeling. I didn’t want to tell the truth because I didn’t want to bring people down. I didn’t want to be “negative”. I knew that even those with the best intentions never really wanted to hear about how I was really feeling. So I kept it to myself. Sound familiar? I would also get so frustrated all the time, and never really knew why. So many times I just wanted to go to bed and sleep and forget about the rest of the world. This man I know, it is so hard for him to get up and out into the world. His wife says he is the bravest man she knows. Can you relate? Is it that hard to go anywhere? I would love to hear from you.
