I wanted to write about a simple, straightforward, “just do it” topic today. It has to do with dogs and how important they can be to us. First of all, briefly, in an earlier post I suggested that anybody who is depressed should try to create a mission in life. Well for me (with the help of my dog) the entrepreneurial project I have been working on for 18 months launched this week. It is … Read More . . . → Read More: My Dog was There in the Depths of My Depression. While I only mention alcoholics in the title, the theory applies to addicts as well — as I believe they are one and the same anyhow. I began this as a response to an author who had said that addiction began as pure escapism from life. I ended up writing out my main message to those who suffer from addiction, and think perhaps some professionals may … Read More . . . → Read More: Alcoholics Drink for a Reason That Likely Can Be Controlled Check out this website I found at webmd.com.
It is called “Depression TV and it has a whole series of 3 minute videos with excellent questions and answers. Depression: When Should I Seek Help, Depression and Loss of Libido, Depression and Rage – Are they Related, and many more.

I have five rules I have developed over the years that help keep my depression at bay. If I break any one of the rules, I’m at risk of having a depressive episode — and for me there is nothing at all in life that is worse than one of these episodes or even compares to how low these put me on the mood scale. And, they have seemingly gotten deeper and more painful if … Read More . . . → Read More: Five Ways I Deal with Depression
I just read an article on alcohol, drugs, and crime and I find myself stunned at the numbers, when you consider that of the people in jail, about 89% of them perpetrated their crime while on drugs or alcohol. I believe there is a much MORE stunning number behind the drug and alcohol problem that the medical world has not totally cracked open, however.
