[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a huge benefit to being outdoors and getting sunshine. Maybe you could serve some meals outside? Also, expressing gratitude for small things can help change a mindset. You can model that if you can eat outside, by saying that you are grateful for the nice weather, or that your flowers are blooming, or whatever. Focus on the positive and let her hear it. I had horrible depression, and wish that someone had told me it would end. Part of it was due to spending too much time ruminating over problems, which I still tend to do, and I have to deliberately tell myself to change the mental channel and physically get up and go in a different room. Group therapy was very helpful to me when younger, because I realized I was not alone, and could offer help to my peers. When it’s safe, you might think about that. Best of luck.[/quote]
