Coping with Crisis: Strategies for Stress and Depression

Feeling and actively living with that ground brings some core strength within me.
Life can throw some serious curveballs, especially for those on the frontlines or living with someone facing tough situations daily. Cynthia Orange dives into practical ways to handle stress and depression in this episode of 'Recovery Road'. With her wisdom drawn from 'Shock Waves: A Practical Guide to Living with a Loved One's PTSD', Orange shares how to recognize the signs of stress, like those pesky aches and pains, tummy troubles, and frequent colds that just won't quit.
She doesn’t stop there; she offers real-world tips on getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active. But it's not all about physical health—finding a safe space to express your feelings is crucial too. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, cognitive therapy might be the key to changing those negative thought patterns. Orange emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help if depression creeps in. This episode is a treasure trove of advice for anyone needing to find balance in chaotic times.
So, tune in and remember, you're not alone on this journey.
