Escaping the Rabbit Hole by Tracey Maxfield Pdf

On August 20, 2015, after enduring years of intense workplace stress, bullying and harassment, Tracey Maxfield, a hard working, highly skilled, caring and compassionate nurse, hurtled headfirst down into an abyss of darkness, despair, pain and sorrow (she affectionately named the rabbit hole). Despite being no stranger to depression, having made its acquaintance many times throughout the years, nothing could have prepared her for what was about to happen to her life, her heart, her soul, her very being. Escaping the Rabbit Hole: My Journey Through Depression is a brutally honest, raw, and vivid description of what life is like after experiencing an acute depressive episode. Through a series of blog posts, journal entries and a letter to self, Tracey shares the excruciating emotional and physical pain she endured, the never-ending feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness and sadness which left her inert and unable to function, and her ongoing battle against DBS (death by suicide). Every single day, she had to make a choice: to fight the battle to live, or to surrender and die. She chose to live, and so began her most difficult and challenging life journey yet, to try and escape the rabbit hole. This book is a must read for anyone living with depression or caring for someone with depression, and for anyone who wants to know more about this greatly misunderstood mental health illness. Tracey shows us that words can be powerful and healing, and with time, it is possible to emerge from the rabbit hole of darkness and despair and reclaim your life. This is a story of courage, of hope, and of never giving up.

Experiences of Depression by Matthew Ratcliffe Pdf

Experiences of Depression is a philosophical exploration of what it is like to be depressed. In this important new book, Matthew Ratcliffe develops a detailed account of depression experiences by drawing on work in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, and several other disciplines. In so doing, he makes clear how phenomenological research can contribute to psychiatry, by helping us to better understand patients' experiences, as well as informing classification, diagnosis, and treatment. Throughout the book, Ratcliffe also emphasizes the relevance of depression to philosophical enquiry. He proposes that, by reflecting on how experiences of depression differ from 'healthy' forms of experience, we can refine our understanding of both. Hence phenomenological research of this kind has much wider applicability. He further shows how the study of depression experiences can inform philosophical approaches to a range of topics, including interpersonal understanding and empathy, free will, the experience of time, the nature of emotion and feeling, what it is to believe something, and what it is to hope. This book will be of interest to anyone seeking to understand and relate to experiences of depression, including philosophers, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, therapists, and those who have been directly or indirectly affected by depression.

How I Escaped from Depression by Patrick Day,Senior Lecturer in Sociology Patrick Day Pdf

How I Escaped from Depression is the autobiography of Patrick Day, covering four years in his life when he was afflicted with major clinical depression. His story describes in gripping detail the horrors of depression and how he escaped from it. In this book, he reveals ten critical lessons that have kept him free from depression ever since. This is a gripping story that sheds light on the difference between situational and clinical depression and takes to task some of the stereotypes and myths about depression that have been tossed around without regard to the reality of the condition. The Preface of the book personalizes the impact of depression on Mr. Day. "In the spring of 2006, depression attacked me and my whole world changed. My chest and stomach tightened. My thoughts and emotions became unglued. Sleep escaped me. Just the thought of food disgusted me. I became a recluse, not wanting to leave the house or have anyone come over. This was a different Patrick than the one I had known. It was as if I had been born again into a tormenting world of darkness and fear. "How I Escaped from Depression tells the story of four years of my life that were worse than anything you can imagine, unless you have suffered major depression yourself. My journey was not a straight path. There were ups and downs and ins and outs. Along the way, I learned ten critical lessons that have kept me free from depression since that time. I pray they will be helpful to those gripped with depression in any way - from sufferer to helper. "This book is not about depression. It is a story of depression - up close and personal. Only a person who has experienced the horror of depression can describe the reality of it and put forward a way out. "My purpose in telling this story is to help others afflicted by major depression make a full recovery in less time than it took me. "My life was relatively normal from the day I was born up until the winter of 2006. I had highs and lows, of course, as we all do, but nothing like what happened to me starting in the spring. On May 16, 2006, my world flew apart."

My Escape from the Captivity of Anxiety and Depression by JB Dumás Pdf

Had my health begun to deteriorate due to a physical condition, or were the effects of depression and anxiety taking a devastating toll on my life? Whatever the source of this bewildering predicament, my family and I were suffering from the perilous grip of a living hell. A darkness and unexplainable strangeness had managed to sew its way into my very being that unfortunately had affected everyone I loved, in a way that I wouldnt wish upon my worst enemy. Each day, I fell deeper and deeper into a mysterious abyss of despair that I could not seem to escape; rather, I became captive within my own consciousness. It wasnt until I finally surrendered to the truth that I was able to slowly liberate my mind, body and soul from the hopelessness and anguish I was experiencing, and gradually reacquaint myself to the real world. This is my story, something that happened to me. Realizing that there are countless others who are at present encountering situations similar to my own experiences, it is my desire to shed some light from the knowledge I obtained along my journey to recovery, in hope of possibly guiding another lost soul to discover his or her way home. - JB Dums

Dealing with Depression by William M Clements,Richard L Dayringer Pdf

This important book explores strategies to enable clergy and lay persons to identify and help individuals suffering from depression. It contains many techniques that can be used in managing depression, including coping devices, treatments, and interventions which actually help depressed persons to improve their mental health. Dealing With Depression describes types of depression and related symptoms to help clergy develop a more complete understanding of the disorder. They will learn to recognize the symptoms of depression and be better able to help individuals who suffer from it. This useful guide includes a step-by-step approach to depression intervention and proven techniques readers can use to enable people to cope more successfully with depression. This important book has also been translated into a Chinese version. Dealing With Depression brings together expert psychologists who explore five modalities for conceptualizing and managing depression, which deflates for clergy the often intimidating quality of the disorder. These experts discuss in practical and understandable ways the helping techniques they use and explain their understanding of depression and their methods of treatment. A medical-religious case conference with these experts shows how clergy and laity can help ease depression and an extensive bibliography is included to facilitate further reference. Dealing With Depression puts this common disorder back into the human life situation where it can be seen as just another temporary disturbance to which human beings are vulnerable, but which need not significantly distort their lives, relationships, spiritual development, or prosperity of body, mind, and soul.
