Depression Hope
If you rearrange the letters in the word depression, you will get this-

“I pressed on!”

Hang on! There is always hope and healing on the horizon! Seek professional help if needed.

Be Okay With Not Being Okay
It is Okay tonight be Okay.

 Allow yourself to feel how you are genuinely feeling.

You have to feel before you can heal.

You have to be real before you can heal.


 It is Okay to be in a season in your life of not doing well. Just remember, that it is a season.

Do the best you can with where you are and with what you have. Take one day at a time.

Do what is in your control to do and give the rest to God- and leave it there with Him. All the while- allowing yourself to be real with how you are really feeling.

Progress, Not Perfection
When we strive for perfection, we can easily disappoint.

 When we strive for progress, we can create and work toward realistic goals.

Think progress, not perfection.

Listen To Understand- Not To React
When somebody talks to you, do you listen attentively?

 Do you find yourself only thinking about how you want to reply?

Do you listen to understand or do you listen to react?

Try being a more attentive listener. Listen to understand. Listen to acknowledge the other person‘s feelings. Listen to paraphrase back what you heard. Listen to validate the other person. Respond with love and respect. Listen because you care.

Try holding your reaction back and placing it on the shelf temporarily.

Wait until an appropriate time if you need to respond relating your feelings.

Then when you respond, use I statements and talk with respect.


If you or someone you know is suicidal, 
please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at:
800-273-TALK (8255) or Text: HOME to 741741.
