Problem: Article: Just like you might have to simplify your getting ready routine to smaller, successive steps, it might also be helpful to do this for schoolwork, housework, and other projects. Doing this can help you to ward off additional stress that might worsen your depressive symptoms. It can also help you maintain focus if your depression makes you feel scattered or unfocused. For example, if you have to write an essay for a college class, you might first focus on compiling research on the given topic. Then, you might outline your essay. Next, you might go ahead and write the parts that are clearly defined in your head - no matter what section of the paper they belong. Then, you can try working on each section of the outline until you have a complete paper. Finally, you might go back and edit the paper. Each step could be completed in a different day (if you have enough time) to make the task more manageable. Yes, your family and friends may think it's a good idea for you to attend a big gathering or event, but, it's common to not want to be around others when you are depressed. If your symptoms have yet to let up, you just may not have it in you to socialize. If you do, aim for a low-key event in or near your home, where it won't be too big of a deal if you have to bow out. Strive to be social in small ways each day, like chatting with your mom or best friend on the phone or speaking to your next door neighbor. Even small instances of social connection can lift your spirits. It has been found that people deficient in Vitamin D, which is provided through sunlight, frequently suffer from depression.Furthermore, being outside in nature can reduce stress and reduce depressive symptoms. One study found significant improvements when participants engaged in group nature walks. Spend more time outside during the time you are waiting on your meds to work.
Summary: Break down large tasks. Don't pressure yourself to be too social. Get some sunshine, even if it is only on your lunch break.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you are at a competition or at school, there will typically be a medical professional there to help. Even though you might believe your thumb is only sprained, it might be a fracture or a dislocation. In some cases, the doctor will need to take an X-ray or MRI to determine how to treat your thumb. If your thumb is fractured or dislocated, do what the doctor has outlined for your treatment. If your thumb is sprained, the doctor will typically suggest purchasing a thumb brace or wrapping your sprained thumb. If you need to have your thumb wrapped or strapped, they will be able to do it for you. If your thumb is painful (which it almost certainly will be), talk to your medical professional about which painkillers would be most helpful — if you should stick to over-the-counter treatment or if your doctor will prescribe you something stronger. Also ask for how long you should take them.

SUMMARY: Consult a doctor. Follow medical advice. Ask about painkillers.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Keep fresh flower wreaths fresher longer by using a foam base and soaking it in water. You can buy a foam base from a craft store, like Hobby Lobby, depending on your location. Choose a foam base that is about the size you would like your wreath to be. Keep in mind that the wreath will appear larger once the flowers are on it. Fill a basin, like your kitchen sink, with water. The basin should be at least the same thickness as the foam base you are using. About a gallon of water should be enough. Place the base in the water. The base will start to sink as it fills with water. Allow it to sit in the water for one or two minutes. Then, take the foam base out of the water, allow the excess water to fall off, and pat it gently with a towel.  If using the kitchen sink as your basis, make sure to clean it thoroughly with soap and water first. Put the stems into the foam base while it is still wet. You will need to stick the stems of the flowers into the foam base so they will soak up water. You can either stick the individual flowers directly in the foam, or wire them first. Wiring them first will make for a tighter hold. To wire them, wrap floral wire around a bundle of stems. Then, put the stems into the foam. It may take some effort to insert the flowers into the foam. Don’t use too much force, or you could break the foam. Continue attaching flowers until the wreath is mostly filled. There is no correct design. Fill it in however pleases the eye. You can plan it beforehand before you attach them if you have a specific idea. Tuck in extra flowers, leaves, or other embellishments to complete the wreath.  You can use pins or glue to secure flowers if you are having trouble making them stay in position. Spritz with water daily to keep the flowers alive longer, or allow them to dry naturally.
Summary:
Buy a foam base. Soak the foam in water. Attach the flowers. Fill in the wreath.
