In reply to Sustaining self esteem within depression, posted by ClearSkies on July 19, 2006, at 14:14:17

When I am really depressed, I get the exact same narrowing of vision that you describe so perfectly.

One of my friends asked me to find one beautiful thing on my commute home from work. It works really well, because then your attention is focused on finding something nice. Then my friend asked me to report what I found. It was two things actually. One was the fragrance of some jasmine-like flower, in the hot summer air. The other was that there were tiny flowers planted near the sidewalk, where for 5 years there had previously been patchy grass. Someone cared enough to rehabilitate my street, and it was cute.

Try to see something beautiful tomorrow. Tell us what you find.
