Even the most basic, routine tasks - like making my bed - can seem overwhelming and can actually add to my overall feelings of fatigue, despair and futility of life when I'm depressed. Depression and productivity are pretty much mutually exclusive. But they don't have to be. In Stopping the Roller Coaster: The Ups and Downs of Depression and Manic Depression, Shelley Waldaias gives you a glimpse of how depression impacts the everyday life of real people. Shelley draws from years of trial and error with her depression symptoms management so that others can learn new ways to stop their own roller coaster life. From making your bed to getting out of the house to just trying to figure out how to make it through another day... If this sounds like your life or the life of someone you know and care about, Shelley has put together an easy-to-read, practical guide that is filled with realistic ways to break free from the stranglehold of depression and begin to discover what it means to not be a victim of your emotional roller coaster life.
