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.

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.

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.

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.

Hey All,

I just wanted you to know that I am adding to my coaching with a weekly newsletter. I am going to publish on dealing with depression. This is for people doing depression or for people who know someone doing depression. It is an inside look into what it is and what it is not. What it is like. Understanding depression.

 Sunday 7/21 at 9:00 AM pacific I will be giving a speech on depression. 

What is it. What it is not. What are the symptoms? What it is like to do depression. 

If  interested,  it will be on Lisa Yerington profile page on Facebook

My focus as a life coach is to help people in two different ways. One is to help people who struggle with depression and anxiety. The other is to guide people wanting to grow as a person. 

For me, my first need to getting the life I wanted was to stop doing depression. I found the answer while I studied to be a life coach. When I did the diagnosis questions, I understood me. For the first time, I understood me. 

From there, I started to find better ways to not be so overwhelmed. I learned to clear my mind of all the confusion. I learned how to control certain thoughts. I let them come, I acknowledged them and then I let them go. Those thoughts of being overwhelmed come up still, but now I control them. I relax. I calm myself down. 

After I learned to not struggle with depression, I was ready to achieve. I wanted to build on what I had accomplished. I used certain tools to define my passion. I used certain tools to determine what path I wanted to take in life. What did I want to accomplish? I also used certain tools to know that I am am okay no matter what. I did not have to accomplish great things in life. I just had to go in the direction that was to lead me to my passion. 

You can do the same. I am not saying it will always be easy. It more than likely will not always be easy.  But any advancement in life, any little bit that makes life better is a worthy goal. It takes time and practice. 

My advice to you is to make it fun and that can make it easier.

Until next time.

Do you understand the why of what I will call Covid depression?

What it is not:

It is not the lack of in person human interaction including hugs. It is not the lack of socializing and going out to bars and restaurants. It has nothing to do with how your hair looks. It is not the lack of a job or a loss of income. Nor is it not being able to go to a job you enjoy. It is not the inability to go to the gym or do similar activities. it is not the inability to go shopping at the mall. It is not the inability to go see a sick or aging relative. It is not that you can’t watch sports. It is not staying home all the time. It is not being stuck at home with your family all the time.

It isn’t? No it isn’t. Does that surprise you? It should. Those things are all very upsetting. And they do lead to bad feelings. But that is not the reason for any depression you may be feeling right now.

What it is:

It is the lack of certainty. All depression is from a lack of certainty. It is a lack of control. Right now, we don’t really know from day to day what is happening. Today your city, county and state have some sort of rules of engagement. They are being very controlling. Today you can do some action or activity , but tomorrow it may not be allowed. But, you never know when the mayor, county supervisor or governor may get on the news and say something like starting tomorrow the rules are going to change. It may mean more freedoms, or it may be fewer freedoms.

There are four necessities in life. One is control. When we lose control, we may do depression for comfort. I know that does not make any sense. But it is comforting. You bring a little control back into your life. If you act in a depressed manner, you are taking control of one aspect of your life. I will act depressed if I want to. It is my decision. What it is you may be doing to deal with the current situation is bringing a sense of security. You are giving you acting a certain way to bring pleasure into your life to avoid pain.

Here is what is happening. You sit around your home and ask questions. How long will it last? Will I get sick? Will it get worse? How will it end?

This is the necessity of life uncertainty. It is the opposite of certainty. We need uncertainty or variety. The problem is that right now uncertainty is out of control. It is too much. This brings the need for certainty and uncertainty out of balance. This is what is causing so much distress right now.

What you have to understand in life is that sometimes there are events in our world that we can’t control. You can send a “tweet” to the governor of your state asking that he or she allow this or that, but it won’t help. When something is completely out of your control, you have to accept that. You have to allow yourself to just relax and let go. I know that can be hard to do sometimes. But that is the first step in feeling better if the current situation has you acting out of sorts. And frankly, letting go is taking control in it’s own way.

The next step would be to find other actions you can take to bring control to your life. Work on other issues. Find a new hobby to take your mind off the rest of the world for awhile. Take up meditation. This is particularly helpful as meditation is all about bringing control into your life. You can still exercise. You can still go for a walk, a hike, a bicycle ride. Exercise is one of my best ways to clear my mind. And one more thing to do is to seriously reduce your exposure to the events of the world right now. Be informed, but don’t dwell on it by spending more than 10 minutes a day obsessing over any new development.

OK I hope that helps. If not, you know where to find me.
