[header] How to vacation when you have depression [title] Choose a vacation that matches your personality. [step] Placing pressure on yourself to go on a vacation you think you're " supposed " to go on will only add to the depression you're feeling. Instead, select a destination that will allow you to get what you want out of the vacation.
