Are you home alone for days at a time? What does your husband do for work? If he is away no wonder your depressed!
My Hubby goes away hunting with his brother and some buddies every fall for a week. i know I can get lonely so I try to plan all kinds of things to do when he is gone. i do ok most of the time but at night it can get hard!
One thing I do that makes a huge difference is I pray every morning for God to show me what he has for me that day... I ask him to give me joy and help me see the good in my life. I also ask him for energy and strength and self motivation. To some this may sound lame but I find that God cares about every thing that goes on in our lives and if we give the burden of loneliness and depression to Him he takes care of us...One day about a week ago I was praying for a friend cause I was feeling kind of down and all my friends were working, and as I was praying the phone rang!!! It was a friend wanting to take me to lunch! I was so thankful! it doesn't happen like that every day but it was cool when it did happen. God and will change things in your life.
Do you have any interests or hobbies you can throw yourself into? I tend to clean like crazy to keep busy when no one is home cause I don't like to clean when every one is home. Another thing that studies have found is that Music can effect your mood. If you play up lifting fun happy music it can lift your mood... Or If you play sad lonely music it can bring you right down...
Find a few Christmas crafts on line and start making Christmas presents. That will lift your spirits!
I am praying for you to have a very Joyful purposeful day... God Bless
