Depression sucks, but you don't. Trying to manage the range of
symptoms that depression throws at you is like navigating the dark
ocean floor when you are without a torch and don't know how to
swim. How do you manage something that feels utterly unmanageable?
How do you get through each day when depression is telling you
you're a worthless lump of camel spleen? What you need is a guide.
A really good one. You need to know what works and what to do. This
book gives you 40 ways to get to a better place with depression.
They are born out of the author's personal experience of clinical
depression and his many years of working as a counsellor helping
people with their mental health. James lives with depression and
knows its lies, the traps it makes and how to dodge when it starts
spitting bile in your face. Nice, eh? The ways include: - Kick your
cuckoo. We don't usually encourage violence towards birds, but no
cuckoos are actually harmed so don't call the RSPCA just yet. In
this chapter you're encouraged to imagine your depression as an
external 'thing' (no humans or animals, of course!) and that you
can 'kick out', which is great fun. - Whose voice is it anyway?
Spoiler alert! That nasty voice you're hearing isn't you; it's
depression. The illness. When you start to recognise its voice you
can start swearing back and who doesn't love a bit of swearing? -
Don't listen to the lies. We all tell little lies sometimes, right?
But depression is the biggest liar in the whole universe. It makes
Pinocchio look like Mother Theresa. Be the lie detector to
depression's fibs; call it out on its fraudulent nonsense. - Do the
opposite. Depression will try to convince you to stay in bed, don't
go out, don't wash, don't eat, don't phone anyone. Be Contrary Mary
and do the exact opposite of what depression tells you because it
never has your interests at heart. Plus, doing the opposite feels
like you're a rebel, and rebels are cool (see Star Wars). At
whatever point you're at with your depression, this book can help
and provide some laughs along the way - hooray! - because you
really need it with this bloody illness.
