New Book: CRUSHING THE SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION

 

I've been on edge for the last week, waiting. Waiting to smile. Waiting for my new book, CRUSHING THE SPIRIT OF DEPRESSION. And, today I can finally breathe- and smile.

    This book screams HOPE, JOY, & REJUVENATION. It will make you feel better. Crushing the Spirit of Depression focuses on The Creator, and motivation to explore your potential and persevere and achieve your hopes and dreams.

    I created a book I wish I had on my shelf for difficult times, which we all have had at some point in our lives. The book aims to encourage you and your loved ones whenever going through something and reflecting on those widespread depressing ordeals that happens in life. Which are stressful and bring us down; financial hardship, grief and loss, health problems, low mood, and self-esteem. Or, simply to maintain wellbeing, clarity, and self-encouragement.

    Crushing the Spirit of Depression has 30 prayers that praises, and holds conversations with The Creator, The One, The Spirit, and Almighty. These prayers tackle those issues I mentioned above. 

    Moreover, this book on crushing the spirit and energy of depression is an inspirational book that will elevate your mood. There are 30 affirmations, "Now You Can See Your Potential."

    And, here are some trivia facts about the development of the book: my son, Big Boy (who is 11 years old) critiqued it. He helped me choose the subtitle, made me change the color of it on the cover of the book (the audacity!), made me shorten the preface and conclusion; told me when something sounded boring and needed more energy; THANK YOU BIG BOY. He even helped me with a few of the prayers. 

    We made sure some of the prayers will hit home with you and others in different areas. It has an intimate feel to it. Through my son's prayers that seemed simplistic was the most transparent and real. For example, health problems- seeking relief from pain and such. He helped me so much.

    This book, Crushing the Spirit of Depression is for you, your loved ones, friends, and associates... We all get depressed, and need to remember whose we are, and who is in charge- that is God. Also, stay encouraged just because- another day is a great day!

What Is Remission?

Remission is the absence of symptoms for at least six months with the support of medication. In other words, a doctor who has never seen you before may not diagnose you as a person with schizophrenia anymore. Remission is also high functioning in several aspects of life, living independently, goinig to school or to work, and socializing with other people. However, this does not mean the patient is cured or the illness has went away, the illness is still present, however, under control. Remission is achieved with the assistance of medication. "Published studies suggest that 10% to 20% of people with schizophrenia have remission of their illness as they get older, 20% get worse, but in a large majority (60% to 70%), the course of illness remains relatively unchanged."

Religious Preoccupation

After a talk, a woman asked me if my faith contributed to my recovery because she noticed that I mentioned it throughout my speech. In addition to that, she told me that she observed people with faith as having a better outcome in their mental health recovery. First, I came from a family with Christian values. My faith in God started to get intense during the latter years of high school, which in my opinion, is when I started having symptoms. In my experience religion plays a major role in my mental health- its delusions, its coping skills, and in my recovery. In medical terms they call my religious rituals and delusions "religious preoccupation." Before I was diagnosed I was highly religious. In fact, I wanted to be an evangelist and to go to a Christian college. I would read my Bible for several hours a day throughout the day, listen to hymns, and meditate. Sometimes I would ignore people if they wanted my attention while I was meditating I was in such deep thought. Also, I...
