SUPPORTING YOU TO LIVE AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

INTEGRATING  DEPRESSION

If you suffer from depression there are 3 things you need to know:

 YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME!

YOU ARE NOT DEFECTIVE/
STUPID/A LOSER/USELESS
(or any other negative you apply to yourself)

THINGS/YOU AREN'T HOPELESS
You can get help.  You don't have to suffer alone.
And things will change.

WELCOME to the Integrating Depression area of my web site!

These pages grew from my desire to create an alternative site for people who have recovered or are recovering from depression.

My personal journey through depression has been and continues to be the biggest challenge of my life. It's taken me years of suffering to learn the truths above and sometimes, in the darkness, I still forget them. This site is an important part of my recovery and I hope that by sharing what I've learned/am learning I will be able to help you on your own journey.

It is not my intention to duplicate what has already been done so well by the large number of excellent websites which cover depression essentials.  I wanted to create something a little different - an alternative place of light, hope and inspiration.  Something more personal but equally useful to you in your long term recovery.

Within the Integrating Depression area of my site you will find:

***** The Depression Antidotes Newsletter archive.
Although I no longer write this newsletter it's creation played a vital role in my journey from depression.  I have archived each issue in the hope that my story will inspire and inform other sufferers.

***** The Depression Free Life Check List^(c)
This check list will enable you to assess which areas of your life might be contributing to your depression and is taken from my ebook '7 Steps to a Depression Free Life - A Self Help Guide' (see Below).
