In his book, My Stroke of Luck, actor Kirk Douglas writes about his depression after he had a stroke and lost his ability to speak. His depression was so pervasive that he entertained thoughts of suicide. What helped him overcome those feelings were these six actions which can be gently and sensitively shared with a depressed friend to provide inspiration and motivation for moving forward:
1. When things go bad, always remember it could be worse.
2. Never, never give up. Keep working on your life.
3. Never lose your sense of humor. Laugh at yourself. Laugh with others.
4. Stem depression by thinking of, reaching out to, and helping others. Strive to be a Little Hero.
5. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
6. Pray. Not for God to cure you, but to help you help yourself.
