Depression and Anxiety in the Family Setting
In this section we will look at family depression and anxiety in the setting of our home, and how we as parents can help our loved ones to heal. Welcome to our website, and thank you for visiting us. The presence of emotional pain can be very costly in families, possibly resulting in divorce or worse. We think this is tragic and we want to give all the aid and comfort we can to those living under this heavy burden of depression. If one family member suffers from depression, all members suffer with them. No one wants to see a loved one feeling depressed, and not be able to help his or her loved one. It is a burden that can be almost too much to bear. We understand, for all of us here have ‘been there,’ and that is why we have come back to help others who need emotional support and spiritual guidance to get out themselves. We here have all struggled with depression, some of us for years, before we found victory. That is our mission, that is our dream, and we want to do it with as little expense to you the sufferer as possible. Within this website, we have compiled as much complimentary information on family depression as possible to begin with, to help you and your loved ones on their way to recovery. Beyond that, we offer books and articles for sale in our books and articles section. In some cases, we may be available for psychic readings and healing if the circumstances warrant it as a last resort. The recommended course of action is to try the least expensive alternatives first, with the patient doing as much of the work on their own as they can. Much of what we could share in a healing and psychic reading is available within the books and articles. We will answer brief questions and concerns at no charge as we have time. Sometimes a little encouragement can do wonders, and if we can, we will do it free. At the links at the bottom we address certain aspects of depression, and offer suggestions and encouragement for those aspects. Every situation is unique, and the only way to help is to look in some depth at each situation one at a time. We hope we have addressed you situation here, and we will add more writings as time goes by. We believe that Family and Depression and Anxiety does not mix, and the last two have to go! Also within the family setting, in coping with an affair, a link at the bottom, we talk about the problem from the chronology standpoint, from the setup stage, acting out stage, discovery and resolution stages; to better help us to understand our responsibilities and options. An affair can end a relationship, but we strive for it to pass if the offender has addressed their issues and if the damaged person can forgive. That is each party’s choices they need to make in their own self-interest. Family depression and anxiety can result in other situations as well. In coping with breakup of marriage, also at the bottom, we learn that all marriages are a success if it taught us more about our self. We do not exist to complete the marriage, but the marriage exists to complete us as a couple. If we grow apart, and we choose to stay together to keep the marriage intact, that itself is failure. We are just sorry that in a breakup of a marriage, oftentimes makes private matters of the parties’ involved public knowledge, and with unhealthy relatives and courts involving themselves in damaging ways. In causes of teenage depression, also at the bottom, we examine the duality of the relationship between your teenager and you the parent. On one hand, they would not be near their parents in public, as they try to find themselves, and on the other hand, they need you the parent more than ever before. Parents love your children and know they need your approval now more than ever before, as they hate you at the same time! Such is the thankless role of the parents, who must have thick skin themselves emotionally. Parents, we understand for we were there ourselves! Family depression and anxiety can occur in other arenas of personal life also. In coping with being single, at the bottom, we discourage the natural tendency of some of us to change who and what we are in order to find a mate. Adding this ‘plasticity’ to make ourselves more marketable to the opposite sex is always a soul-killing compromise, which others will see through, and which will cause us not to be ourselves. Being who we really are is the best way to find another to love us. Finding love will not stop loneliness. When we are lonely, we are not lonely for another; we are actually lonely for our dreams and ourselves. It is not another’s responsibility to help us with our loneliness. If you put that responsibility on another, your relationship will end in divorce, guaranteed. In dealing with teen pregnancy parent, below, we talk about two priorities only; the first is Prevention, before the pregnancy all that matters is good parenting and supportive upbringing. After the pregnancy all that matters is Forgiveness and Move Forward. This is one of those few times when parents can distinguish themselves from being good parents to showing they are stellar parents! The operative words are forgiveness and love. That however does not mean permissiveness and lax standards. It will be up to the wisdom deep within the parents to decide how to demonstrate both principles. The key to remember is that the unborn baby can detect hostility within the household. That child will hold itself accountable for all the hostility it feels in early life. Parents, you are on stage now and the spotlights are on you. It is your move now to make or break this situation as only you can. We are betting you can do the grandest thing possible and make this whole situation a perfect success! We hope the readings here on family depression and anxiety serve as an inspiration to you and to your loved ones in you search for answers. For more on this broad subject please consider our first in series book Overcoming Depression from Emotional Abuse/The Tools of Your Mind. Our book will go into detail about the dynamics of relationships and will show you how to heal your family back to wholesomeness again. We also take you through your spiritual journey back home to your Original Self. We talk about God's purpose behind that soul’s journey, as we follow our heart’s dreams to our ultimate destiny. We answer many questions about selfishness, prosperity, psychotherapy, and finding our dreams and happiness. We share much about boundaries. We also talk about the spiritual controls we have within to bring our good to us. Those controls are our Sincerity Switch, Spontaneity Switch, and lastly our Feelings and Dreams Switch. Thank you for visiting.
