What Self-Care During Depression Really Looks Like – Mothering

September 27, 2017 By Elizabeth

“Believe it or not, there’s more to self-care than taking some time for a yoga class or treating yourself to a pedicure or what-have-you. Things like that are important, as they give us time to practice being still and being good to ourselves. But true self-care, particularly for individuals with depression is hard. Self-care when depressed requires neural connections and actions that don’t come naturally when one is depressed, and yet are so necessary to help combat the depressive feelings.

“Self-care in depression often looks more practical in application than luxurious (like treating yourself to spa time or something like that). Self-care in depression means making choices that are in your best interest, and that ensure YOU will be taken care of. Self-care looks like making sure you are getting enough sleep, taking medicines (if prescribed), eating healthy and staying hydrated. These basic tenets of everyday life truly are practices of self-care when one is depressed.”

Authentic Care

"Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the trials because of the joy that a child has been born into the world." (John 16:21)
