Also, compassion for oneself. Often when I feel depressed, I beat myself up for not being able to accomplish a task or doing it half assed. But half assed is okay when you are sick. Treat yourself like you would a sick loved one.

It was very difficult for me to do this in the midst of an episode. The thing I thought was more helpful is having compassion for others and trying to do something to help someone I loved. I couldn’t do anything to help myself but was able to do small things to help my wife and kids. I wasn’t worth the effort.
