Product Description
Shake the blues away.
Everyone knows that depression can lead to guilt, sadness, frustration, and in the case of 15-20% of people with depression, suicide. Because we live in a culture that rewards (and often worships) productivity, when a depressed person can’t meet the expectations of society, the depression becomes worse and a vicious cycle begins. The goal of Getting Things Done When You’re Depressed is to break this cycle. Readers will learn:
• How to prepare yourself mentally for working while depressed
• How to structure your environment so you can work more easily
• How to work with others
• How to prevent depression

Get It Done When You’re Depressed
I’ve had bouts of depression since my teens, and been in and out of therapy for almost 20 years. At the moment I’m “out,” and was hoping for a book just like this. I didn’t need a book on what causes depression, its symptoms, or how to treat it; I know that already. I needed a book that has specific suggestions about how to keep my life in order on days when I just couldn’t care less about it. Some of the suggestions that the author makes are things that I already do (and that made me feel better) and others were things that had never occurred to me but that made perfect sense. The exercises are like mini-therapy sessions; I haven’t done all of them, but the questions always make me think.
Reading a book by someone who is actually depressed makes this book much more helpful than anything else that I’ve read on living with depression, or on living or working with someone who is depressed. I also appreciated questions-and-answers with the psychiatrist and the accounts of people who are also living with this illness.
The Kindle version of the book is speech-enabled, and I listen to the book when I am working (and when I am about to fall asleep). It is tremendously helpful on my depressed days when I need to hear something positive.

This is a fantastic book for persons diagnosed with bipolar and their loved ones. It affirms feelings and situations the bipolar person can relate to and the loved ones can better understand what the bipolar person experiences and gain a better understanding of why they act the way they do at times. The suggestions given from real-life scenarios is a wonderful tool to recovery/stability and/or a more “normal” life.

I found this book to be very helpful in getting me going when I’m depressed and don’t feel like doing anything. It’s a practical guide that motivates me, despite my mood. It is sympathetic, but also a bit of a kick in the pants, which is a refreshing viewpoint in self-help books.

This book is chock full of simple, practical techniques that anyone who is depressed can add to their tool kit for managing depression. The chapters are short and each includes a personal story by the author (who has bipolar depression) as well as a story by someone else and each writes about how a particular technique works for them.
I know the techniques work because I have used some of them over the years for a milder form of depression. Medications help but it’s what you do on a daily basis that helps you deal with, reduce and/or eliminate some or all of your symptoms.
