do you have tips on how to do away depression?

Question

some healthy way for self-preservation...

Answer 1

Try cognitive behavioural therapy! Research suggests that it is more effective in the long term than prescribing medication! Obviously it doesn't work for everyone, but he won't hurt to give it a try. It involves a one hour session per week for appoximately 12 weeks. You can go privately, although it is pretty expensive, or you can get it on the NHS. However there is a long waiting list.

Answer 2

Depression is a pulling within and a cutting off at the same time. The fear being repressed and denied by ones MIND is either rage, or overwhelming grief. The ideas of doing something that would take ones attention from ones clinging to "nothing" are not entertained because ones MIND is busy keeping ones attention fixed in nothing.

A certain sadness accompanies this self-protective position because it is basically a denial of oneself, and this is painful.

The best way to deal with the experience is when it subsides a bit, take a piece of paper and write down all the things you hate. Then carefully take a look at this list and search for any of those things that "ring" a bell of memory within you. That seem to stimulate some memory from your childhood. Your MIND holds hidden within itself some childhood memory that you took-on as being caused by you, and this was a misperception. Your MIND now protects you from discovering this by keeping you shut down and focused on nothing.

Unless you enjoy being nothing... you need to discover what it is that your MIND insists on protecting you from discovering. If you have an older sister or brother, ask them if they remember if you, as a very little child, ever had a very bad experience? If they do, and can recall it, as soon as you hear it, you will know whether or not that is the event. A parent can serve the same purpose, of course. Good luck.

Answer 3

Speaking from personal experience i have learned how to monitor my depression. I do not take any medication, nor do i have a counselor... but yet i am a social worker, so i have a knowledge base from both sides. Depression is a learned behavior. Each individual person has to be assessed to see how the depression affects them but i am going to tell you how i cope with my own depression.
First of all i have learned the early warning signs (i.e. some mornings it is harder to get out of bed) and i have to force my self through them. I have found that getting up each morning and getting ready for the day helps. I cannot mope around the house and just not do anything because then i sink lower into depression. I have also accepted depression. I do not know the exact figures but it is shown that when a person has sufferend on depressive episode the chances are really higher for that indivual to suffer again... and again. Once you have suffered, more than likely not u will suffer again. This is something that i have accepted. I have learned my warning signs, but i also understand that somedays i am just going to be depressed. As i have accepted this i have lessened my length of depressive episodes. I could go on for weeks in the past but now the depression does not last longer than a day or two, and they are very infrequent. So my advice to you:
First: learn YOUR warning signs,
Second: learn to accept you are going to be depressed,
Third: Depression CANNOT be cured overnight.

I would be more than happy to talk to you some more... just let me know!
good luck!

Yes. These are natural ways I have coped with depression and it helped me. But it also depends on the severity of your depression.

Drink lots of water, get lots of rest. Do away with packaged foods, and eliminate refined sugar, chocolate, caffeine and alcohol from your diet.

Get plenty of exercise, eat lots of fruit and vegetables and try to eat healty foods.

Evening primrose oil helps with the moodiness also.

Go out and so something good for someone/group.

Center your attention on helping others less fortunate than you constantly.
