Depression in High Achievers

[Nawaid Ladak]

i've gone through this before (not clinical though). usually it happens in the off-season when i have nothing to do. and im stuck doing the same things every couple of days ie: school, work, homework, repeat.

sometimes you just need a good nap to fix things, Take a day off and just sleep. it will let you clear your head and allow you to start over.

I also found that if you have other hobbies, the better. I play card games, I'll practice for tourneys and other things during the FIRST off season, but im usually away from that during the FIRST season.

in other words, "always have something to do that will change up your live"

There are lots of ways you can find help for depression; you just have to find one and make it work.
