The goal with this road map is to create long-standing contentment and stability, rather than short-term happiness. Note that this will take time and a certain amount of trial and error. As personal discoveries are made you will have the choice of altering your lifestyle and ways of thinking. It might be frightening and difficult at times, but will pay off in the end by a renewed sense of peace and purpose. A depressive episode can completely change your personality and perception of the world, and so when depression does strike, it is important to be prepared with as many tools as possible for finding your way back to a state of contentment. The contents of this chapter will reveal the primary tools you can use to apply coping mechanisms to your life. There are other tools throughout this guide, but the tools in this chapter build a foundation to work from. 5.1 - Desiring Change and a More Content Life A basic starting point to coping with depression is acknowledging that you are experiencing depression and it is impacting your ability to enjoy life. Perhaps you already know this, but the connection is not always easy, especially with the myths and stigmas surrounding depression.

It is just a label that you can use to better understand yourself and how to reach a stronger sense of fulfillment. (click Read More to continue reading)
