I wrote this for someone who has gone through a dreadful time recently. I know this poem has
helped them and I'm so very glad it has. I trust it helps anyone who is in a similar situation.
Experiencing depression's a tragic thing;
It consumes soul, body and mind.
It gnaws and gnaws till it debilitates you;
A remedy's what you must find!
Once caught in its clutch, it's so hard to escape,
From the pit and the miry clay:
If you don't do this, then you'll never again,
See the beautiful light of day.
The First method to use is to set out a plan;
A plan that has reachable goals.
Get some advice from a ‘reliable' source,
Advice that's not ‘shot full of holes.'
The next thing in line is decidedly tough;
It's to make sure your plan performs.
Don't get upset with a slip up or two,
It's a ‘must' to ride through these storms!
When all this is done then have a review,
Programme this in, once a week.
Already you've started with positive terms;
Things will gradually look less bleak!!
