Aloe plants often come in flimsy and small plastic pots when you first buy them. To help your aloe last for years, it's a good idea to repot it in in a bigger pot where it will have more room. If the aloe is already in a large, sturdy clay pot with holes in the bottom, you don't necessarily need to repot it. Aloe, like other cacti, prefer dry, sandy soil, and they don't do well in the rich moisture of regular potting soil. Check your garden store for a mix made especially for cacti or succulents, plants that store their water and prefer their roots to be dry instead of wet. If you live in growing zones 10 to 11, where there is no chance of freezing, you can grow your aloe outdoors as a garden plant instead of as an indoor house plant. Use 1/3 sand, 1/3 gravel, and 1/3 soil as your growing medium. The root ball is the mixture of roots and dirt at the base of the aloe plant. Aloe loves to spread out and grow, so you want to choose a big pot that gives your plant plenty of room. Get a clay pot with drainage holes and a tray to place underneath to catch the soil and water. Also, make sure that you do not let the pot sit in water. It needs to be able to drain. After several months or a year of care, you might notice your aloe plant is starting to outgrow its pot. If the aloe leaves are as tall as the pot, it's time to graduate your plant to a bigger container. Buy a new pot that's three times as large as the current size of the root ball and repot it. Fill the pot partially with soil, then set the aloe's root ball right in the middle. Place more soil around the root ball, all the way up to the base of the leaves. Pat it lightly with your hands to keep the aloe plant in place. Keep in mind that the soil should only cover the root ball. Place pebbles on top of the soil. This will help to hold in moisture and replicate the aloe's natural environment. Choose any type of small pebbles, rocks or shells that you like. Press them lightly into the soil at the base of the plant. These are the tiny aloe plants that sprout from the main plant. When you see a baby that has fully formed, detach it from the mother plant by severing it with a knife. Take care not to break the roots as you do this. Set it on a clean, dry shelf to let it callous over for a couple of days. Then repot it in a small pot using potting soil for succulents or cacti. If the baby has no roots, you can still propagate it. Fill a small pot with the correct potting soil and place the baby cut-side down on top of the soil. Instead of watering it, spritz it with water every few days. Eventually you should see some roots start to sprout. When you do, you can pot it in the soil.

Article: Like other forms of depression, atypical depression can be caused by a mix of contributing factors such as genetics, environment, childhood trauma, and brain chemistry. The symptoms of atypical depression include: A mood that can lift due to positive things happening in your life. This differs from MDD, in which the mood is usually depressed even in the face of positive events. Hypersomnia, which is sleeping longer than normal, either at night or during increased napping during the day. Sleep totals at least 10 hours or more a day. This is different than MDD, which may cause hypersomnia or insomnia (sleeplessness). Heavy feeling in the arms or legs, or the feeling of being weighed down, that lasts more than an hour a day A consistent pattern of sensitivity or personalization in relationships, where a person often thinks they are being rejected or rebuffed when they aren't Increase in appetite that may cause weight gain.

Body image issues or a fear of weight gain Unhealthy relationships with food, such as bulimia, extreme food restrictions, or bingeing To diagnose atypical depression, your doctor will check to see if you have at least five depressive symptoms. These symptoms must occur over a span of at least two weeks. If you have not seen a doctor or therapist for an official diagnosis, see a professional as soon as you can. Your doctor or therapist will assess your medical and family history, any symptoms you have, and your current life circumstances to get a correct diagnosis. Cognitive behavior therapy has proven to be extremely helpful in treating atypical depression. A therapist trained in CBT techniques can teach you behavioral strategies to break the cycle of depression and engage in activities that alleviate depression. It is important that you work with a therapist to ensure your CBT treatment is effective. It's also important to have a therapist in case difficult issues arise, such as dealing with past traumas, that you will need help to work through. A major part of CBT involves identifying automatic negative or unhelpful thought patterns and challenging these thoughts. The depressed person may have thoughts like, "I will never get better" or "Nobody likes me." The therapist will ask you to notice these thoughts when they occur and will teach you to question whether or not there is really any truth to these thoughts. For instance, if your negative thought is "Nobody likes me," your therapist may point to evidence the the contrary, such as the friends who reached out to spend time with you in the last week. You may have turned these people down because you were feeling depressed, but the evidence shows that people do like you. Depending on your circumstances or history, your sessions may include stress management skills, social skills training, assertiveness skills, or ways to help your deal with draining relationships. If you have a history of trauma or abuse, your sessions will help you process your experiences to lessen their impact on your mood. Depression is not a condition that you can treat by yourself. It does not matter how strong you are or how rich your experience, you need at least some assistance if you want to beat depression. If you don't treat atypical depression, it may get worse. That is why depression treatment needs to always include psychotherapy and in most cases prescription medications as well. It is essential to always stick to your treatment plan, even when you are feeling better. Quitting medication or therapy on your own or skipping session will likely cause a relapse and you will have to start all over again.
