I'm Still Human: Understanding Depression With Kindness (Expanded Edition - 2021)

E – Evaluate the pros and cons for each option.
• E.g. Start work immediately
- Pros: Good, my savings are running out.
- Cons: I need more time to figure out my career direction.
You can get help from others for this evaluation process – be kind
to yourself – ask for help.
A – Action plan for the selected option based on pros/ and cons.
• E.g. Rest for another two weeks and start work.
- I need to call up the company to see whether they are ok if I
start work after 2 weeks.
L – Learn from whatever decision you have made – the good and
the bad, e.g. I’m glad that I didn’t accept the job offer hastily. I
sought advice from my friends and discovered that there are other
better job offers.
A problem is something with a solution.
If there is no solution, then there is no problem
