Dealing with Mild Depression


A few days ago my siblings and I got into a heated argument. What we learned about each other is that we were all dealing with some form of mild depression. Let's start with my younger brother. He has been unemployed for almost four years. I worry about him the most. Other than playing video games, watching tv, and sleeping late, he hasn't done much in the past three years. It seems like he has no urgency to find a job. He applied for a job once out of state, but did not get it. I think that the rejection destroyed his confidence. The good new is that he is taking life more seriously this year. He started taking online courses and spending countless hours learning and building up his skills.. I see his new dedication on self improvement. My new concern is that he might be over doing it. I noticed that he is sleeping really late every day at around 4:30am. I really don't know how to help him. I am hoping for the best and that this is just a temporary hurdle he will get through. My sister is dealing with the pressure of finding a boyfriend, getting married, saving enough money to buy a house, and starting a new career out of state. She is in her mid thirty and she also feels behind in life. As for me, I am making progress very slowing. I don't consider myself to be very successful. I realized that I do put a lot of pressure on myself. I am known as the workaholic in the family. I don't believe in failure. I believe in finding out what doesn't work and trying new things. Hopefully if you are reading this blog, you will learn from my mistakes and benefit from by tips on making money online.
