Dear Brother David,
I just wanted to thank you for your openess about
your depression, as I suffer with it and am
looking to a non-medicated lifestyle. It is very
difficult, but not impossible. Your simple
suggestions for exercise, etc. are excellent I
would like to add HALT, Hungry, Angry Lonely, and
Tired. If I have any one of those I must take
care of it immediately, or I sink only further
into the despair. I wish I could take credit for
this wonderful acronym, but it comes from
Alcoholics Anonomyous. Jeanne, Reno, Nevada
+Dear Jeanne, thank you for your warm words of understanding. During depression, the H.A.L.T. acronym helps to focus our attention immediately on the area of most need – good nourishment, emotional clarity, companionship, or rest – simple medicine which carries us a long way towards healing.
Blessings,
Your Brother David
