If your midlife depression were speaking, what would it be saying to you? Did it come on suddenly? Or is an old familiar friend? In any case, could your depression be a message in a bottle? Would you like to read this message?
Check out my article published by the Counselling Directory which looks at it further. Read here.
Let me know how it speaks to you, and what, if anything, you are going to do about it.

Rita, I wrote a blog post about midlife depression. In women, how can we tell what is actually depression proper or menopause? The photograph you have used is fantastic and says so much. Is it not interesting that we talk of taking duvet days when life gets too much too!
Hi Julie
Thanks for your thoughts. It is a great question… and seems to me to be asking a broader question around what indeed is depression?
Duvet days – I think those are necessary from time to time to recuperate. If only we would listen to our bodies and our feelings rather than ride roughshod over them!
