Of importance… if a person has depression throughout the year, but symptoms are worsened during November to February, then this is not seasonal affective disorder, but a common worsening of symptoms of his/her chronic depression.

Procrastination
Tardiness
Exhaustion
Altered sleep-wake patterns
Quickly starting (forced), but quickly ending in incompleteness (inability to sustain effort)
Finishing a project or reaching a goal, but deriving no satisfaction or pleasure in their accomplishments. This lack of a sense of reward reinforces not trying again in the future.

Do you think you’re a good person?
What do you believe happened (if anything) to your body, spirit, or mind that led to your coming to see us about your depression? Why do you think you are depressed? (For now, disregard what medical professionals have told you, tested you for, or treated you for.)
When was the last time you felt, “good”, “good enough”, or “better than” you feel today?

This is how we learn, and iterate (repeat efforts after small changes are made due to lessons learned).
Making educated mistakes, learning, and repeating one’s efforts, in better directions with better information, is key to getting started, and eventually, reaching one’s goals.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT IS TO ACCEPT THE SHAME, EMBARRASSMENT, AND GUILT…and to still be able to act while releasing these unpleasant thoughts and feelings.
