    Dear Moongal:

    I totally agree. I love routine. Very much so. Need it. Need more of it.

    Dear Moongal,

    I love this post, thank you so much for it!
    I have a big problem with structure, sometimes overdoing it, and most of the time not doing it at all. Very frustrating cause i miss out on a lot of things and get in stressy situations so often, due to my lack of it.
    I was actually just starting to wonder these past days, what i can do in order to bring more structure in my daily life, and here you write such a clear, easy post about it, how brilliant!

    When i get into this ‘get more structure in my life’ – moments, i always want to change the whole thing immediately, result that it lasts for a few days. So i love how you write ‘slowly incorporate small routines in my day’ – take it easy, one little change and get used to that and then add an other one.

    It might sound very evident, but it’s a good example for me to get my own ways of tacking it. Thanks and keep it up!

    Hi Sann and Anita,

    Thanks a lot for replying 🙂


    @Sann    : I have struggled a lot with yo-yoing in from perfect to 0 – i cant seem to keep up with the craziness of both – its so much pressure to get everything right in one day and then this feeling like omg, i have to do this 365 days a year! (atleast thats how i used to feel haha) What are the changes you want to incorporate next month?

    Here are some online resources have been really useful –

    Douglas Bloch – he is a mental health expert who has actually suffered from depression. I really like the way he talks about various aspects of coping. Malan Darass’s blog about depression : http://www.malandarras.com/depression-1

    I do realize that everyone’s depression is indeed different and we all need different kinds of help. However, it really helps to know we are not alone in this and its simply a mental illness. A few weeks back, i finally saw a psychiatrist and it was a relief to hear that indeed a part of it wasnt in my control but it is manageable. I often felt so invalidated by the words of well-meaning friends and family – i felt like they were trying to tell me that it wasnt real – they couldnt see it but i felt it everyday and it was real for me.

    Dear Moongal: are you saying that your depression is caused by a chemical abnormality that you were born with? A genetic disease expressed in a chemical imbalance, a result on Nature, not Nurture? Do you view your depression and millions of others’ depression as an abnormality of brain chemicals people are genetically diseased with, and born with?
