If you feel depressed (消沉的), it’s best to do something about it—depression doesn’t just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor, here are four things you can do to feel better.
Exercise. Take a 15-to-30-minute walk every day—or dance and bike if you prefer.1.But make yourself do it anyway. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood.
Provide yourself with good nutrition. Depression can affect appetite (食欲). One person may not feel like eating at all, but another might overeat.2.So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don’t feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).
Find out troubles. 3.When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talking is a way to receive some understanding. If there’s no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal works just as well.
4.Depression affects a person’s thoughts, making everything seem unhappy and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths or gifts.
Most of all, don’t forget to be patient with yourself. 5.
A. Look on the bright side.
B. Take action to solve problems.
C. Depression takes time to heal.
D. Proper nutrition can affect a person’s mood and energy.
E. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active.
F. Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.
G. With depression, a person’s creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary. It would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达)of information, means of communication such as a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it's Just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, tell the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.
