Mind mapping is a way to take notes. Get a notebook, open to a clean page, and in the middle of the page write a topic (lets use the topic "severe depression". Then, while you are zoning out staring at the wall, try to branch off of your topic by adding "spokes" to your original thought. Soon you will have a "wheel" of ideas.
kinda like this =
I know that writing letters to the editor is important to you, and I bet it is hard to do so when feeling depressed. Using mind maps may help you to break out of that "zoned out" feeling and help you to focus on what is important to you.
Keep mind mapping whenever you get into a funk. Seeing things in print might help your mind make a leap from inaction (depression) to action (feeling better). You can also date and time stamp each mind map and show them to your doctor. It might help foster communication and facilitate a med change.
Plus, when you are working on LTTE, you can use this system to outline your letter.
Peace and low stress..
