Morning WT
Sorry about the meetings.
Good Morning
Morning.
I did 3 hours of meetings (in a row) yesterday. I feel your pain WT.
My kid has been having depression issues lately as well. We are trying to get the kid back into counseling. However the kid's therapist isn't accepting new clients. The kid stopped going to counseling last year, and as a result they would be a "new" client due to that. So we are working with her to find a new one.
What I am trying to say, is there is only so much the medications can do, and therapy needs to be coupled with the meds often times.
Reading and the outdoors have always been my escapes, too. When I was a kid, I could often be found outdoors with a book. Yoga is really good, too.Morning Vinny. Ah, it's all good. My position is great, but I do occasionally have more meetings than I'd like. Fortunately it's nowhere near as bad as when I was at Anthem.
Yep, 3 hours in a row, maybe 4 depending on how the second meeting goes. BLEAH.
As someone who has always struggled with depression issues, find something that they find joy in doing. Whether it's a hobby, reading, hiking or whatever. I've found having something good to read helps to get out of my own head and thinking about something else. Going outdoors and walking in the woods is something else that helps me. Finding those things that helps them to set their depression aside may help them in dealing with it. Dunno, everyone is different, but it's helped me. Good luck.

I used to read at every break and lunch when I was in the mill. Much rather travel in my head to wherever/whenever the book/paper/magazine took me.I've found having something good to read helps to get out of my own head and thinking about something else.

This is some stellar advice. This is what we have gotten from his therapist in the past, and have pushed for the kid to do.
Finding that thing that they like is the hard part. We keep trying. The kid doesn't enjoy the outdoors, or reading. I don't get it either, reading is like my main hobby. So we keep trying to find things the kid enjoys.
