Quote From: bjk100Dear Dr. Phil,
I find myself very depressed by this terrible tragity. I have suffered from depression for years and am on medication for it but latley it dosent seem to be enough. I sleep most of the day and feel guilty that i am unable to do much due to my financial situation. It is like watching a train wreck, you cant turn your eyes away but you dont want to watch bacause you know how it is effecting you. I feel especially hlepless when i see small infants in this situation. What would you advise me and others like me, i am sure I am not the only one..(if i am..help!) to do.
Yours Truly,

Hi Dear
Hope you don't mind me poppin in to say hello. I think many people may be in the same position. There is really a great deal that you can do and it doesn't cost any money........the power of prayer never amazes me. The other thing you can do right where you are is see what churches or other non-profit organization are doing in your community. Donate your time. What's that? Well offer to help out at a local food shelf, the Red Cross, animal shelter etc. Many times there are many volunteer jobs that can be done especially at time like this. Volunteer to do clerical work, filing, typing, at the humane society there's laundry, walking animals, answering phones, feeding the animals that sort of thing. Check with the Red Cross in your area and see if they can match up your talents with the need.
Also I would recommend you limit yourself to watching all the coverage. Sure keep abreast of what's going on but actually doing something to help not only helps the victims but you also ((((winking))))
Thanks for caring.
