Emotional Wellness Winter Blues

Emotional Wellness Winter Blues


We have discussed how to combat grief last week. Let us discuss another emotional issue especially now that Christmas Season is fast-approaching.  Many people, specially in countries with Winter Season, start to feel depressed in November and continue to feel dreary until the spring thaw.  Scientists call this Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).  According to Dr. Don Powell, daylight is needed to prompt the brain to release chemicals that spark feelings of energy. Since daylight is shorter during winter, some people suffer from this disorder during these months.  Other contributing factors, continues Dr. Powell, include:

  • Family members who live far away
  • Memories of a loved one who has passed away
  • Financial problems
  • Fatigue and feelings of being overwhelmed by tasks and obligation associated with the holidays
  • Idealistic expectations

Some ways to prevent or combat winter blues:

  • Get outside as much as possible.  SAD sufferers report they benefit more by exposure to early morning light than light later in the day.
  • Keep the drapes in your house open and the window shades raised during daylight hours.
  • On cloudy days, turn on bright lights.
  • Begin holiday preparations well in advance, to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
  • Delegate chores like writing greeting cards or baking cookies, to other members of the household.
  • Dont drink alcohol if it makes you moody and depressed.
  • Dont expect everything - food, decorations, family get-togethers - to be perfect for the holidays. 
  • Dont spend beyond your budget.
  • If keeping old holiday traditions is painful, start new ones.
  • If you expect to be alone for the holidays, dont wait to be invited somewhere; invite people over.

Best Friends



The title we chose
But what does it mean to be "best friends"?
You should see each other every day?
Well thats not true for you and me
Should silly little fights get in our way?
Only if thats how its meant to be
Should we give?
Should we borrow?
Should we dance like theres not tomorrow?
Secrets are traded
Privacy invaded
Hugs and smiles are shared
Tears are shed
Love is spread
We know that we both really cared
I smile, you smile
You cry, I cry
I wish, you wish
You die, I die
If you fall
Ill help you up
And if you call
Ill always pick up
Best Friends Forever
The promise we made
And I know in my heart
That it will never fade






I could skip a heartbeat, and I would survive,
I could be in a car crash, and still be alive.
The clouds could fall out of the sky, 
The oceans could disappear, and all turn dry.

These things in life are all bad I know, 
but theres far worse things, 
just thought you should know. 

Life would not be the same without someone like you,
Youre there when I need you to help me through.
Through the good times and through the bad,
Be them happy, or be them sad.

I dont have to be with you, to know youre there,
We dont have to see each other, to know that we care.
We could be apart for years upon end,
and still remain the best of friends.

Life goes on, and people change,
And through it all, our friendship shall remain the same.
Thats such as a life, and how things come to be.
Just thought you should know,
HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.






You are my best friend, you belong in my heart,
We go through ups and downs, but still nothing can tear us apart.
I know you as a sister, and I will always care,
Love, respect, and trust are the things we share.

I know you as a person, I especially know you as a friend,
Our friendship is something that will never end.
Right now, this second, this minute, this day,
Our sisterhood is here, is here to stay.

My friendship with you is special and true,
When we are together, we stick like glue.
When Im in the darkness that need some light,
When youre by my side, I know things are all right.

Our friendship is so strong, it breaks down bars,
Our friendship is also bright, like the sun and the stars.
If we were in a competition for friendships, we would get a gold,
Because responsibility and cleverness are the keys we hold.

I met you as a stranger, took you as a friend,
I hope our long friendship will never end.
Our friendship is like a magnet, it pulls us together,
Because no matter where we are, our friendship will last forever!

Emotional Health Combatting Grief and Depression

Emotional Health Combatting Grief and Depression



Super Typhoon Yolanda (international name Haiyan) just recently hit the Philippines. Many have lost their homes, property, and worst, their loved ones.  Those people and almost everyone on this planet have or will experience grief and depression with the death of a loved one, a debilitating illness or injury, a divorce, or a catastrophic event.

Grief, according to the book 365 Health Hints, usually consists of five stages: shock, denial, anger, depression, and finally acceptance.  Recovery varies from person to person; it takes some people longer than others to recover, so grief shouldnt be ignored or rushed.

The following, continues the article, can help overcome grief:
  • Dont hide your emotions or feel embarrassed about grief.
  • Turn to supportive friends and family members for help and understanding.
  • Cope with anger over your loss by writing in a journal, pursuing a physical activity, or otherwise venting your feelings in a constructive way.
  • Substitute a positive thought for every negative thought that pops in your head.
  • Do not overeat or use alcohol and drugs in response to grief.
  • Be sure to eat a well-planned, nutritious diet and get enough rest and exercise, to boost your resistance to disease during your period of despair.
  • Avoid spending birthdays, holidays, or other momentous occasions alone.
  • Put off major decisions or changes until your grief has passed, since your judgment will be cloudy at this time.
  • To focus your attention away from yourself, do something to help someone else.
  • If you feel overwhelmed and unable to function, seek professional counselling.  
Lastly, its best to keep in mind that whatever happens in our lives, happens for a reason. We may not know or see it yet, but each breath, each leaf that falls from a tree has a purpose.
