Sometimes it helps to have a plan of attack (regarding the realization I had become depressed). Sure I have to now do the “work” but I can chip away at the different reasons I had become depressed. It always helps to have a plan. All I have to do is execute it and with time my depression will lift. My plan is to deal with one thing at a time. I can’t predict when but I can say with certainly, at some point, most of my depression will evaporate. It is the helpless feelings accompanying the depression that indicate I have work to do and this gives me hope. What, also, gives me hope is the realization that every depression will end. It is not forever. I have some control. I have to exert it. Your depression lifts one degree at a time.

My depression was due to an accumulation of things not from any major event. I realized that today. I had to work on one thing at a time and eventually the depression would lift. I had to look at my life and exert control on the matters that were bothering me. There were things that were out of my control but nevertheless I could correct some things that had me depressed and were in my control. I had to exert the power I had and eventually my depression would lift. One thing at a time.
