Combatting Severe Depression

At the first sign of a negative thoughts or feelings, trace them back to their source.  
  • If something needs to be done to rectify a problem, do it.
  • If something needs to be discussed, discuss it.
  • If something is amiss in your life fix it.
  • Compare those feelings with reality.  Are they in alignment with what's true and right?  Or are those thoughts distorted and false?  If so, talk back to them.  Learn the difference between the Spirit guiding you through your conscience, and Satan trying to disguise his voice as conscience, attempting to weigh you down with thoughts and feelings that have no purpose beyond discouragement.
(Anita Stansfield, A Dance to Remember, pg 309)
