198 Cathy Jean Francois – How to Combat Depression without Medication
/

Cathy, a self-proclaimed “recovering depressive”,  is working on creating a new blogging platform where she will discuss ideas, quotes and popular expressions that have resonated with her and that have helped her to keep a positive perspective on life despite depression. It’s all about her desire to keep a positive mindset to achieve her own form of happiness, which may help many depressives who struggle alone.
Cathy Jean-François is a high school and middle school  English teacher in NYC, but her first love and passion is writing. From December 2014 to September 2019 she created and maintained a blog called “The True Confessions of a Reluctant Bachelorette” (www.thereluctantbachelorette.com) where she discussed the hilarity and sometimes heartbreak of being a single woman of a certain age. She then went on to launch her second blog in November 2019 after she married, calling it “Tighed the Knot: A Newlywed’s Thoughts on Navigating the Married Life” (www.tighedtheknot.com). There, she shared some compelling stories of being a newlywed.                
                   
3 top tips for my audience:
1. Create! When you’re feeling down, do something that you love and that can draw you completely into your happy place.
2. Laugh! Watch or listen to something that makes you laugh and laugh. Or watch an action movie that pulls you into the excitement!
3. Talk! Try to find someone you trust that you can talk to. It might be a friend, a sibling, a relative or even a therapist.
