Paying Your Taxes When You Have The Blues



If you are already suffering from a major depression, you may feel even more overwhelmed than the average person when it comes to paying your taxes.

Why Well, paying taxes can be a long, time-consuming task that requires attention to detail and being on time. That can be stressful for anyone - but for someone who is depressed it can sound almost impossible.

Depression has been described by many sufferers as like a heavy weight on the spirit. You are tired. Unmotivated. Uninterested. If you can't get up to take a shower, how on earth are you going complete your taxes Well, you absolutely have to file your taxes right So here are some ideas to help you through the process...

1. Decide what you are up to doing. Can you go out and work with a company (like an H&R Block) to help complete your taxes. Or could you order a tax software such as Turbo Tax over the internet and complete your taxes yourself.

2. Whichever method you choose, you need to have your information organized. So on a good day, ask someone you trust to help you sort through your receipts and paperwork. Getting all your piles organized and ready will really give you a head start on completing your taxes.

3. Without putting too much pressure on yourself, make dates or appointments to work on your taxes. A day for compiling information. A day for filling out forms. A day for checking and re-checking everything. And then the final date to mail them off or file online. Commit to the dates you set.

4. But if things are really bad for you right now, there should be a relative or close friend who is either an accountant or thinks they are one:) and can file for you.

5. Finally, always be proactive in defeating your depression. Visit your physician. Be open to new treatment methods. Exercise. Try to combat the symptoms or at least lessen the severity of them so that you can go tackle the things you need to accomplish in order to live your life.

From The Kitchen To The Couch

Lisa began giving advice to friends and family in her kitchen on the telephone or at the breakfast table. She enjoyed helping people get unstuck, and they often came back and told her how just how on point her advice was. But not believing she could make a living at it - Lisa followed her other passion...writing.

Lisa began her career in writing at some of the most prestigious newspapers in the country. She worked for The New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, and Travel Agent Magazine. But is was her job as an advice columnist for pre-teens with the Gannet News Syndicate that solidified Lisa's interest in blending her knack for giving advice with her writing talent.

In order to blend those two talents successfully, Lisa went back to school to obtain her Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work at New York University and began seeing clients in a private practice setting. After Lisa married her college sweetheart, Deric and was pregnant with her first child - she knew that she would have to make a change. Her clients were getting antsy about her pregnancy because they knew that she would eventually have to take a maternity leave, and she knew that she wanted stay home with her new baby. It was then that Lisa created the vision of an advice and counseling website specifically targeted for women who need to work through their issues and would rather do it on their own timetable and in the privacy of their own homes at the fraction of the cost as traditional therapy. Why No office overhead.

At Home With Lisa

Lisa started dating her college sweetheart since in 1988 and they married ten years later. After adopting their first baby, a lab-mix puppy named Pepperz, three little girls followed soon after - Autumn, Ali & Ava. They all live together in New Jersey - not too far from her Philadelphia roots or from her husband's New York roots. A perfect example of the art of compromise that Lisa is so famous for facilitating!
