1. The narrator knew she was depressed because she had awakened everyday for a period of time feeling down, worrying about bills and the man in her life vacationing with his ex. She had consulted with a doctor who wanted to prescribe her medication, which she was not opened to. She knew what would make her “happy” again even if it wasn’t a good idea at the time. She wanted to go winter camping with her dogs in weather that reached almost 40 degrees below zero putting not only herself in harm’s way, but her dogs as well. I feel like she suggests that in order to take the steps to get better or come out of depression you have to work on yourself and do things that make you happy and/or feel good. Everyone does not know how to do this and sometimes medication is needed to avoid any self harm etc. With this being said, I feel her claim does have merit because this method worked for her and possibly thousands of people including myself.

She could have elaborated on seeking professional help or talking to someone at least. I completely understand how this worked for her and I feel she was strong enough to handle it. She needed to put herself in harsh conditions (and her four legged children) to remind herself that life indeed is not as bad as she thought and it could always be worse. There is someone going through something a lot worse. Coming from someone who has dealt with depression, the phrase “Someone has it worse” is one of the most annoying things to hear; because you honestly don’t want to hear that at the moment. You’re just trying to get back to the happy person you used to be. As stated before, each case of depression is different and it’s amazing this method worked for her. One of the most important things I recognized is that she sought professional help and people knew where she was going to go. Especially with such harsh weather condition. Her experience brought her back to the point where she saw the glass half full again, rather than half
I believe I've grown as a student for skills for Academic Success because ,when I started 9th grade at Vaughn I was not happy with the grade I got. I had very poor grammar. I always tried my best to get a good grade or at least a better grade then the one I had. Now I believe I improve my grades and skills for Academic Success because there was stuff I didn't understand. When I started Vaughn I didn't know that is freshman had to have 130 reading points. When I heard that I started reading books ,didn't really concentrate because I was not use to reading but now I finish a book and move on to the next one.
Depression isn’t something that someone can “get over’ by thinking positive. It’s not self-pity, easily cured with a dose of “there are other people worse off than me”. It’s not laziness and lack of motivation that can be fixed by “just getting on with it”. It’s not the blues and can’t be snapped out of by ‘taking a walk’.
I had situation involving a car accident. I was not giving the correct directions (being mislead) it caused a accident, which left my car wrecked. I am a great driver I learned hands on which is the way I love to learn now a days. Because of the bad directions I learn to just ask the place I am going and find my way through GPS. I am avoiding any future possible situations by misguidance.
As soon as a social worker came to tell either Cheryl or me that it was time to go, I turned instantly despondent, and would stay that way for maybe a week or more"p32. Based on the way she was let down after a visit it is easy to see why she would beg to go back home and be so depressed after a visit when all she really wanted was to be with her real
The brain and spinal cord are made up of many cells, including neurons and glial cells. Neurons are cells that send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the brain and nervous system. There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain. There are many more glial cells; they provide support functions for the neurons, and are far more numerous than neurons.
In my opinion, I need help with all the writing principles; but if I had to choose three I would pick, control paragraph length, avoid redundancy, and use active voice. I will start with control paragraph length; I do seem to put more than one topic in my paragraphs (Cardon, 2013). I understand that readers who read my work could miss the idea I am trying to get through to them.
“The Cure is Within Us” Whoever is his life, do not had a depression? I think most of us ever have felt that anxiety, that state in which we feel that we are nothing and that by that time no matter what happens, you only care about the problems. And the problems are the same for almost all, money, work or love, often the lack of them. The majority of us suffer these depressions are momentary, many are cured when the payday; but others sink into a state of deep sadness, which is then diagnosed as depression by doctors.
It is decided that with a variety of medicines, supplemented with fresh air and absolutely no work, activity or socialization, she will become well again, although she has postpartum depression and not a physical disease. The narrator, on the other hand, disagrees with John’s statement that he would “as soon put fireworks in my [the narrator’s] pillow case as to let me have those stimulating people [their cousins] about now” (4). She feels that getting out of bed and away from her thoughts would do her good. Her opinion is in fact the opinion of expert’s today, as the Canadian Mental Health Association lists spending time with friends and participating in social activities as two of their five suggestions for coping with postpartum depression ("Canadian Mental Health Association"). However, due to her low standing as a woman of the house, it simply doesn’t matter what she thinks. Her husband feels she is improving, and although she does not, that also is not important. Because of the supposed success of her treatment, it is continued and she is forced to lie in her bed at the top of the house, pushed out of view with nothing but her thoughts for weeks on end.
This woman has had depression for years, she has been through so many events that other teenagers her age has been through. In this particular blog, she lists six things that many people said to her when they found out she has depression. The first one she said was, "But you're too young to have depression." I strongly agree with her response to that. I have a 9 year old cousin, she has anxiety and with her anxiety comes depression. One night she messaged me and she asked, "How do you deal with it? How do you sleep at night?" At that moment I realized that even a 9 year old worries about everything I

I received a score of 33 out of 50 on my study skills assessment. I have a lot of room for improvement and I am not fully using my study strategies to the most potential. Currently my study habits include completing all homework assigned, studying for tests only a day or two before the assessment, and I make sure to mark any information I do not fully understand so that I can ask about it later. I take a full schedule of difficult coursework that occupies a lot of my time, stretching me thin. I find it troublesome to sit down and effectively study without becoming fidgety or frustrated. It would be beneficial to me to discover the best times and places that would give me the most out of my studying time. Another improvement would be to do weekly reviews on coursework to keep the information fresh in my mind. To keep me motivated and on track a schedule would be useful to aid in block out times to study one subject at a time. I definitely using some study skills to my advantage but there are a lot of skills that would benefit me that I haven’t quite tried.

Both activities have shown me that the definition of a complex problem is in itself complex (Funke, 1991) and is subject to many interpretations by different researchers (Gray, 2002 and Wenke et al, 2005). It has also shown me that presenting a problem in a different manner can affect how the solutions are thought about (Gambrill, 2006).
