 Today on episode 28, Web Hosting Podcast. Where have I been and what is going on with the podcast? Have you taken the jump to WordPress 5 yet, if not then you are going to want to ensure you do a few things first. Google Page Speed is up to some new tricks with images. My depression. You may have been wondering why there has not been an episode in a while. It is time to talk about my depression and how I deal with it.Some things I do to try and reduce the effects of my depression, anxiety and panic attacks. If this helps even a single person get through their own depression then this will be worth it. Eat right. I eat breakfast when I first get up and try to eat as healthy as possible for the rest of my meals.Get good sleep. This is very critical for me. If I don’t get a good deep sleep then I am possibly going to be a train wreak the next day.I work out regularly and have a schedule. I find that by doing 30 minutes of exercise first thing in the morning, I can alleviate some of my anxiety. I make sure to bathe every day. This may sound strange to put on a list, but it does help me. It is part of my routine and schedule. For me it signals the fresh start of a new day.I put on my shoes. You may ask why this is its own entry. I find that if I do not put my shoes on after my shower that I am more apt to sit around and not do much. By putting on my shoes, I am unable to talk myself out of going for a walk or leaving the house. It is a mind game I play with myself. Shoes go on, ready for the day and anything it can throw at me.Dress for how you want to feel. Another thing that has helped me is to dress how I want to feel. I work from home most of the time, so you might imagine working in pajamas. This can be great, but do it for a decade and you never leave your pajamas. I have been known to actually dress up, sometimes I put on a shirt and tie. Watch something or read something uplifting. I recently started reading “Chicken soup for the fathers soul” when I am feeling depressed. I also started watching a new TV show, that I would not normally watch, called New Amsterdam. Then there is always Hogans Heroes. The point is, find something that picks you up.Task yourself to learn something new every day. I try and learn something new everyday. It can be as simple as a new knot (don’t laugh knots are hard to master), or as difficult as getting a certificate for something. I try and challenge myself with something that I know that I can ultimately complete. Giving myself that win feeling and boosting my confidence just a bit. It is important for me to make sure that I finish the task and to not set the difficulty too hard, I want to complete it after all. By completing it, I get the “I have accomplished something” feeling that ultimately helps my moral and boosts me up.Check in with yourself. This gets more into knowing your moods and your body and it is something that anyone can do and should do. It is not well known that your body/mind remembers tragic events that have happened. These are anniversaries of events. If you are feeling more depressed than normal, try and determine if there is a specific thing that has happened around the same time of year that you might be struggling with. I have many anniversaries that I have to deal with, most of them are around Thanks Giving and Christmas.The most important thing is to never give up. If you are struggling with depression, as I do, find someone to talk to. I highly recommend a good counselor. I have been teased relentlessly by others for seeing a therapist or counselor. Honestly, I have no idea why it is so taboo to go see one. We all go to a doctor when we are sick, we see a chiropractor when our back it out. Why would we not want to take care of the most important part of our body, the brain. I go see mine on a regular basis or more as the need arises. There is nothing wrong with getting a mental checkup and helping yourself cope with the world as a whole. Don’t let anyone give you a hard time for seeing or wanting to see a counselor, ever! If you can’t afford to go see one, there are many free resources out there. A lot of times insurance will also pay for some of the visits. Panic Attacks. If you also suffer from panic attacks, I feel for you. I have them quite regularly and have learned to identify when it is going to happen and how to deal with them. This may not work for everyone, but this is what I do when I suffer a panic attack. I start by watching my heart rate on my iWatch. If it is climbing faster than it should and I am in a situation that is unsafe, driving for example, I get to a place where I can pull over or stop what I am doing. The first feeling of a panic attack for me is a sudden flood of stomach butterflies. The ones you normally get when you are nervous about something. When those start up, my legs go almost numb, ...
