1. On a piece of paper, draw three concentric circles. (Intimates, Close contacts, and Acquaintances.)
2. Make a list of others in your life and enter their names in the appropriate circles.
3. Look at the diagram daily and tell yourself these are the people who care and who would be very hurt if you injured yourself. These are the people who want you to recover from depression.
4. Make appointment for phone calls, meetings and brief social engagements that you can’t cancel.
5. Plan deliberate activities, especially with family, which are hard to excuse yourself from.
