Answer 2

this being the third depression question I have seen from you...I think that you recognize that you have an issue with depression. That is actually a good sign because now that you know you have an issue you can correct it. You have to see a Dr. to start things off. Don't be afraid to go to a walk in clinic, or call around you community to find out what is available if you don't have insurance...If you do have insurance...Get an appointment and go right in...This could be a simple chemical imbalance that can be fixed with vitamins and diet. ( you are on the right track with that) There could be also be other issues at hand. So be active even turn to a confident friend if you feel you cant make the calls your self.

Answer 3

A very helpful tool for me has been the "Attacking Anxiety and Depression" program by Lucinda Bassett. This program is published by the Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety.
1-800-944-9460 or www.stresscenter.com

I'm off drugs. I have a better understanding of why and how I was depressed. I learned how to control my thoughts and feelings. I am a more positive and happy person because of this program.

Also, go to your local health or vitamin store. They will have the specific information you've asked for. They can give you directions on how to use the vitamins and nutrients in a way that will best help you and get you off the prescription drugs.

Answer 4

Depression is an illness. Please, see a doctor. There are medications for this. You want help. This is very good!!! Depression is caused by imbalance....but gosh- you must know all this. Do you ever go out and just run? Think about Forest Gump....running or just walk....any kind of activity that makes you move will help you work against the depression. Move it!!!
Yes...it's depression all right...you want the thoughts to stop.....again replace it with something else....I wrote it in your other question...memorize Psalm 23...and recite it whenever you think of bad thoughts ...It's a strategy...try it. My family has had depression handed down from generation to generation, but I always found a strategy to fight it...develop one....or two...

Answer 5

Man, see a counselor. Drugs are only gonna grow into a problem for you because your body will get used to them. Just give yourself a chance with someone who knows how to treat people like us.

Answer 6

Pranayama

Answer 7

you could try some nyquil and try realaxing that way and going to sleep. or you could chill out and try to forget the things that are bothering you by something that makes you feel good inside.
otherwise try drinking a few beers and downing shots of straight vodka and find some 1 to talk to but understand where your life is going and what will become of it

Answer 8

I think that it's good that you are trying to find an natural alternative. To relax maybe you could try exercise or meditation. To stop the "thought process" you really need to get to the bottom of what is making you down and take steps in your life to make yourself happier. Perhaps try to do at least one thing each day that makes you happy. Start to see life more positively, make a list of all the things that make you fortunate, here's a start; you have access to a computer, you are literate...
