Spring and Situational Depression

So I was going to write a post on situational depression - how it happens and how I believe it's real and how it doesn't necessarily degrade the notion of clinical depression.  I wasn't sure that it was really mentioned in the  recent series on depression. 

For the record, I'm talking about the type of depression where one has recently lost a loved one, lost a job, went through a divorce or is in a stressful situation.  In addition to therapy and medication, making changes to one's situation can be important as well.  Sometimes I feel like that's heresy to some people, but that's my belief.  PS.  It appears that wry may agree with me!  So I must be right. ;)

I decided I wasn't interested in writing a long post about that.  What works for some people doesn't/won't work for others.  In the end, people will reach the point where they realize they can't manage their own lives and change.  Or they won't. 

I will say, I have found personally, making changes to my situation(s) and perspective has greatly helped me. 

Spring is definitely here, however.  I was thinking we would get another snowfall - but it's March 19th and no snow yet!  Yay!

Each year during the winter I keep thinking that my kids are watching too much television and too many movies - then, it never fails, the weather warms up and we migrate outside. 

I'm not sure if these two thoughts are related or not.  Perhaps they are more related than one would think.
