Treating Depression With Behavioral Activation || MEMBERS’ STREAM

"Opposite DAY!"😂❤

I was paralyzed by depression & Wellbutrin got me moving & busy & it worked! That one hour a week was my only contact with an intellectual. And when I told my psychiatrist what my dad did to my nephew she said she will have to call child protective services. I never thought of that & told her do it. Reactive abuse for 31 years from family mob. I'm still talking.

Thank you, Dr. K 💖 Yes, fake it till you make it 🏵

This is such an important reminder. While therapy is a powerful tool, real growth comes from our small, everyday actions. That’s the essence of behavioral activation — acting first, even when it’s hard, to create positive change. Your actions, no matter how small, can lead to big shifts for your well-being.

What about menopause?

Great video. Bc this information has been actively being suppressed for profit. Freaking Neuro Feedback (which literally proves that “talking about it” makes you worse off and stay stuck) was made in the 70’s and almost no one even knows what it is, including high up medical professionals.

This method is the ONLY method I have ever seen success with. If I can just get myself to do the dishes, that one small task will give me enough momentum for other stuff. That stuff being working g out or homework or what have you.
But the problem I’m facing is that I don’t always have enough control to even do the DISHES. Just to get the momentum going with something small is impossible. I know it’s pathetic. But it’s the best I’ve got. What do I do?

Any tips for how to do this as someone who always, EVENTUALLY, manages the change, but it'd be much nicer if I'd do it, idk, 2 weeks to a month as I'm sliding deeper into depression. I'd like to catch myself early, so I'll have LESS to manage when I do, but the eventual behaviour (and temporary, unfortunately, but I've accepted it) change only happens once everything is in chaos.
And I don't mean "just keep up healthy habits", I KNOW I will slip up out of those eventually even if I do get into good habits. What I want to learn is once I've already let everything go HALF to hell, how do I activate at that point before I actually reach fully in hell, no-clean-dishes-or-clothes-(and if there were they would no longer fit me like they used to)-I-haven't-exercised-in-months Station?

Same with teaching and many other things..

Neither way works I push my self to the limit still got more depressed
