Depression and Real Estate

[Bill Plymouth]

Hey everyone.  I'm sure at some point, the majority of you have had to deal with depression.  Sometimes, it can be completely debilitating and throws me off my groove for months at a time.  Let's be honest, shoving my emotions down and "just dealing with them" is probably a big cause of my problem.  I've done that all my life.  I'm starting to realize that isn't a solid long term solution and can cause more problems down the line.  I've never really considered the effects of things on my mental health.  I'm in this for the long haul and need to keep myself at top performance level 24/7.  What have you done to keep your mind healthy?  When depression rears its ugly head, how do you deal with it?  What do you do to keep yourself at peak performance?
