One of the things I am working on with my client is coping skills for bring frustration and anger. What we are doing is showing him a stop sign to help to stop and think of things that make him happy. In the process I tell him some of my happy thoughts.
Sitting there talking about things that make him happy, makes me really think of tge things that make me happy on a daily basis. While I am doing this I think hard on those things like Falcor laying his head on my lap anc meowing for me to pet him. Its small but it really makes me smile. I think about being able to come home to someone I love and see his smiling face.
When I spent this time, about 15 minutes I feel better. I feel happier, even if my day was sheer crappiness. I think that spending time everyday really thinking about something that makess me happy helps improve my line of thought. It makes me focus on happier thoughts, even after I leave my clients.
Maybe I should make it a habit to focus on things that makd me happy more often, then maybe just maybe I could be free of this depression stuff.
