Depression 180
It is ‘Whimsical Wednesday’ where I write about no particular theme and sometimes something whimsical.
Today is a more serious topic however, depression! There is nothing funny about depression.
Because I write this blog I often get emails from authors and other bloggers asking me to promote them.
When I got this email from Craig Meriwether about his new book I thought “ya right, another book about depression…. yada yada yada….” but couldn’t resist taking a look at it. The book is called ‘Depression 180′.
At first I was not too thrilled, especially when he said that depression is not a disease or an illness. I didn’t agree with that. Then I kept reading so I could make a good argument with him when I wrote back to him.
But I was in for a delightful surprise! Aside from that one statement which I did not agree with, this is the best book about depression I have read in a long time. It is the most thorough account of all of the strategies you could possibly employ to manage depression. It would make a great resource book. That is what I will use mine for, a resource.
From the different kinds of therapies to the variety of supplements, from detailed food suggestions to exercise ideas. Craig doesn’t miss a thing. He even has pages and pages of worksheets for you to use to record your emotions and your ideas.
I told him that it is too bad this book is about depression because everyone could benefit from the fabulous lifestyle tips he shares.
So, Craig hasn’t actually published this book yet. He is looking for support. If this is a project you would like to get behind go here and check out his fundraising campaign.
Is it your time to try something new with your depression? There is always something we can try. Maybe now is your time. Think about it.
I am so glad you dropped by today!
Join me again at ‘Depression Getaway’ and together we will…
…live, care, laugh, share, learn, discover, forgive and recover.
Don’t give up, I’m praying for you!
