Depression and Some Hard Questions:Part Three

In an attempt to help you to develop some personal coping strategies for your own depression, I am asking some hard questions. We have done questions about your social and your physical life. Today's questions have to do with your emotional/intellectual life. Here are the questions.


How much do you like to think? When you daydream, what do you daydream most about?

Do you like to read? If yes, what do you like to read about?

What kind of activity would you find intellectually stimulating?

Do you like movies? What kinds of stories appeal to you?

Do you enjoy learning new information? If yes, when was the last time you enjoyed learning something new?

Are you an emotional person? Do you emote easily? Do you laugh and cry and share from your heart easily, or are you all bottled up inside?

Are you comfortable talking about your feelings?


Even though I have asked less questions in this section it is one of the hardest areas of depression. This one, our intellectual/emotional life is the one that is negatively affected by depression in an obvious way.


How does this apply to you? Are these questions of any use to you at all? Are you taking time to answer these questions and think about how the answers will tell you some things about yourself that you need to pay attention to?


Next time we will have some questions about your spiritual life.
