Of course, when you have depression, it is very helpful to be understood by the environment. Even more important, however, is finding a way of dealing with oneself, paying attention to and reflecting on one's feelings and thoughts. In any case, a psychologist or psychotherapist can also help here. In the ideal case, however, the person affected can also do something about his or her condition. This diary starts right at this point and should help the sufferer to find a way out of the chaos of their own symptoms every day. It supports you in the following aspects:Monitoring of sleepDetailed reflection on one's own emotional worldSelf-esteem and self-affirmationDealing with very urgent dutiesHelp with strong listlessnessHelp in meeting social contactsPreserving one's own boundariesConcentration on the positive things in everyday lifeHelp against falling asleepDetailed reflection of the dayThat sounds great, you'll think, but how is this done through a diary? This is very simple, because this book consists of daily questions to tick and fill in and thus facilitates the first step, the confrontation with yourself. It takes a maximum of 20 minutes to complete: 10 minutes for the morning and 10 minutes for the evening. So it is designed in such a way that, without spending too much time, one can reasonably reflect on oneself. Keep a close eye on your own difficulties and problems, compare individual days and become aware of the severity of your own symptoms. By answering or reflecting on the questions, one is gradually able to help oneself. For example, this method often exposes one's own harmful behavioral patterns that are detrimental to one's own mental and physical health. Through this diary you get the chance to change your behavior and to check at the same time whether the changes are sustained and / or crowned with success.To my personMy name is Doreen, I am a freelance artist and come from the middle of Germany. I first studied Psychology (Bachelor) and Philosophy (Master) and later 4 semesters of Free Art. For several years I have been selling my art on the internet on different platforms.Unfortunately, I have been mentally ill for many years. I have numerous diagnoses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline, depression, anxiety disorder and have to take many tablets. First, to help myself, I developed the "Diary for My Soul" to fill in and tick. Driven by new ideas, the other books gradually followed, which accompany me again and again in my everyday life. I use them with great success and they have supported my stabilization. The content of the diaries is based on my many years of experience. I've talked to a lot of people who have been ill and have been to different psychiatric hospitals for the last 15 years. I have been studied by many psychologists and have learned a lot from it. In addition, I take part for several years in different psychotherapies.I hope that I can help all readers with my experiences and books also a piece.
