This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself in this moment. May I give myself the compassion I need. Kristin Neff It is a beautiful experience being with ourselves at a level of complete acceptance. When that begins to happen, when you give up resistance and needing to be perfect, a peace will come over you as you have never known. Ruth Fishel

1. Take care of yourself - make sure your physical needs are met because if you aren't healthy, it will be harder to deal with problems. This includes eating well, sleeping enough, and exercising regularly. 2. Find a good listener–sometimes just talking about what's bothering you can help ease depression or stress. If family members are too close to the situation, try finding another friend who can listen without being judgmental or offering advice unless asked for it. 3. Give yourself time for reflection.–take 10 minutes each day away from the people and things that trigger your stress to think about how you're feeling and what's making you happy or unhappy. It can also help to write in a journal - this is therapeutic for many people. 4. Don't isolate yourself - sometimes it's hard to see other people when you are stressed or depressed, but avoiding friends will only make the situation worse. Try to get together with other people who care about you regularly. 5. Keep something that makes you laugh nearby - use whatever helps you feel good immediately, whether that's watching your favourite TV show, cooking your favourite meal, or playing music that revs up your energy level or mood. 6. Be willing to try new things–if you're always doing what felt comfortable in the past, consider trying something different just for fun once in a while. Even if it doesn't work out so well, being open to exploring new experiences can be a good way to shake up a routine that is getting you down. 7. Breaking a sweat–even if it isn't fun at first, working out has been shown to have surprising mood-boosting power. Even just 20 minutes of exercise can increase your body's feel-good chemicals and help lift your mood, especially if you're feeling sluggish or depressed. 8. Take time for yourself–sometimes taking on too much means we don't take enough time to recharge our batteries and relax. Try going for a short walk around the block by yourself, reading a book in the park, going fishing, meditating, or doing anything else that makes you feel calmer and more relaxed. 9. Learn what brings your stress level down–it isn't the same for everyone. Each person has his or her own strategies. For some people, exercise is a stress reliever; for others, meditation helps. And don't forget simple things like taking deep breaths and getting enough sleep. 10. Find something to laugh about - life will always have its difficulties, but sometimes we need to use humour as a way of coping with those challenges. It's hard not to be happy when you're laughing!

Hi You are worried about your husband. He is depressed and he has not been sleeping well for more than three years. It looks like your husband has not told you about what is making him feel depressed. If you feel your husband has clinical depression which is a more severe form of depression you can consult a psychiatrist and explain about his condition. Your husband will also require counseling sessions. You can consult a psychiatrist first and then a psychologist.
Next Steps
You can book an appointment with me for counseling session
Health Tips

He is fighting some inner battle. He needs to talk to a older counsellor. Given today's society and structure you may have to go through lot of difficulty to provide him with help. Send him for a retreat program. He needs a purpose in life. 1. And start with turmeric milk every night. Without change. These are difficult times. May you sail through.
Next Steps
visit a psychiatrist along with a counsellor.
