Everyone's experience with depression is different, but
for comedian Pete Holmes the key to living with depression has been to observe his own
thoughts in an impartial way.
Holmes' method, taught to him by psychologist and spiritual leader Ram Dass, is to connect
to his base consciousness and think about himself and his emotions in
the third person.
You can't
push depression away, but you can
shift your mindset to help
better cope with depression, anxiety, and
negative emotions.
If you
feel depressed, you can
connect
with a
crisis
counselor anytime in the US.
