As the song goes… Let’s Hope its a good one, Without any Fear…

What does constitute a good year? A new job? The birth of a baby? An ambition achieved? A year is usually up and down in peaks and troughs. There is usually some good, a small light in the madness of despair. Even though it maybe for some few minutes in a day. One guarantee in life is change. Nothing stays the same. Time moves on and even though there maybe a small change the next day, however small, it is a change.

When someone suffers from anxiety and depression they may feel that the year has been totally lost. But time is a renewal and looking forward with hope, however difficult it maybe can make that difference.

This year you could find a sense of purpose by making yourself that priority. If you were looking for a new job you would do the research about a company, you would find out as much as you could about the position. How you would travel there? What are your priorities in the working conditions? If you look on finding the help in the same way you would look for a new job position it would start to give you a sense of purpose. Make yourself and your well-being the most important job of all. Telling people that you are depressed even though you may not understand why. You maybe suffering from trauma or PTSD and not realize it. Someone you know may have recommendations. They may have had to reach out to someone in the past. Finding an inner peace and the answers to the questions of why you feel the way you do will help you move on in life. It will improve the quality of your life and all your relationships.

A therapist is a phone call away. They are trained to deal with anxiety and depression. A therapist has the resources to help you. Life changes and there is always hope. The New Year approaches.

Let us drive that fear away so you may live a happy and healthier life.
