Any new suggestions to deal with depression??

Question

I do not want to take medications, I have tryed exercise and diet, can't seem to shake it!!

Answer 1

i know that you don't want to take medications; however, they have an otc pill that works wonders.

It's called Sam-E - and although it won't cure depression, it gives off chemicals that make you feel happy. You're body naturally makes Sam-E, just some people don't get enough of it.

It is also very good for your liver and for your joints (actually, that's what it's marketed under. You will find it with the joint care supplements).

Just remember, everything will be fine. Try to spend more time doing things that you love and spending time with people that make you happy. Also, sometimes a therapist is helpful...it's nice to get the opinion of someone who is unbiased. Good luck!

Answer 2

From my own experience, you have to go day by day. If that's too much, and sometimes it can be, hour by hour. Also I write letters. Whether it's to myself or to someone else. Only two letters have ever been delivered. But it helps me to sort things out and clear out my mind even if it's only for a little while. I just write what comes to mind. I don't think how to word it or worry if it sounds stupid. I never read back over it until I feel like it's done. That way as it comes to mind it's written down. This may not work for everyone but it does help me. I find that I can think a little clearer and usually I do feel better about things. Give it a try, nothing to lose. Good Luck to you.

Answer 3

Go to a health food store and talk to an herbalist. I did and one recommended Rhodiola, B-Complex, and fish oil. It helped allot. There are other things to but these helped me with stress and depression. You can also look them up on line to find out about their properties. Rhodiola is used allot in Russia and can improve mood and endurance. The B vitamins have allot to do with mood as well. Good luck.

Answer 7

Satsang: Swami Sukhabodhananda

Commitment is the language of the wise; complaint is that of fools. Commitment is a responsibility and it includes accountability.

Our weaknesses result in disappointment. To overcome disappointment, boost your strengths. The greatest strength comes from the energy of commitment that brings excellence in all walks of life. Few people traverse the road of success without a puncture or two, but it is commitment to excellence that takes them through.

To be committed is not being ‘stuck’; it is an integration of one’s being. If you are committed to honour your word, the base self in you will discourage you. If your energies are low, you will succumb. If you follow the higher self, the lower self will serve you, slowly getting integrated with the higher. In such a state there will be integrity. Without integrity life is shallow.

You are both actor and thinker. Every time you lie, the thinker warns you that you are lying and the actor asks you to shut up and continue telling lies. It is like riding a chariot with two horses going in two different directions. With commitment, however, you are a person of integrity, and excellence is attainable.

Can we test before we trust? >>

Like an eagle, can we test before we trust?

Eagles lay eggs on a cliff or high peak in nest of grass and thorns. When the eggs hatch, the weight of the eaglets exerts pressure and the thorns start pricking the newborns. Then the female pushes the eaglets out of the nest. As the eaglets nearly fall, the male picks them and places them back in the nest.

Meanwhile, the female removes the upper layer of grass, so that the eaglets rest directly on the thorns that prick them. The eaglets are yet to test their wings. Now the male pushes the eaglets out of the nest. This process continues till such time that the eaglets are able to foresee the danger in falling and start using their wings. Slowly they realise their ability to use their wings and start flying.

Observe the commitment of an eagle reflected in the way it executes family responsibilities and the way it conducts itself while parenting. Bring similar commitment to all walks of life; be it in the family, at work, in society or in your spiritual life. Excellence happens when there is love that helps you to grow and contribute.

Commitment also involves dropping illusions. We do not see the world as it is; we see it projected through our verbose minds. Our minds are filled with thoughts and words. Words represent experiences. Words are also influenced by memory. From the past, we see the present. Hence we create illusions created by words, but we must filter them wisely.

The mind creates dreams. The aware self in you sees reality. Awareness without the ‘I’ is the higher self. The mind with its illusions is the lower self. Have the commitment to operate from the higher self.

Through commitment, balance all walks of your life... family, work, social and spiritual. Creativity is to balance all walks of life. Creativity is just not creating something new always. Creativity brings excellence in one’s life. It is a state of well-being. Well-being creates completion. When one is complete, one is alive and vibrant in all walks of life.
