what are some good ways to get over depression????

Question

minus taking medicine or talking to a psychologist... i've tried just about every medicine in the book & i'm already seeing a psychologist, nothing seems to be working =(

Answer 1

- Take tyrosine (a component of amino). Take vitamin B & C to fuel your brain and combat stress.
- Get plenty of sun.
- Get plenty of exercise to weat it out and pump oxygen into your brain. If you jog, run as fast as you can until you are out of breath before you stop.
- Analyze your diet. Not enough water or too much acid.
- Meditate by focusing your thoughts on your breathing. Meditate will strengthen your mind.
- Pray alot. Have faith in the religion of your choice. Believing that someone powerful is willing to help you, strengthen your belief you will recover.
- Use auto suggestion first and last thing in the day : "Everyday in every way, I am getting better and better." Repeat the sentence any time your are free like traveling or waiting. Record and play it to yourself. Say it with positive feeling.
- Don't take anti-depression pills because the pills makes you sleepy but it does not help.

Try yoga with realxing music in the morning and night. Your body is linked to your mind. Once your body feel great, our mind will improve.

Answer 2

Go out and do what you've been wanting to do for ages. Have some fun.
Spend time with people you care about, and tell them how you feel. Maybe they can help. After all, family and friends know you best.
Take some time off work/school. Use that time to rest, just chill out for a bit!!!
I suggest you don't see a psychologist. That often makes things worse, asking someone to recall their problems.
Depression medicine can sometimes make people worse as well. It works for some people, doesn't for others.
If nothing seems to be working, then maybe you're just not depressed!!!!! Maybe it's just a period of feeling down. It'll pass. Like I said;
HAVE SOME FUN!!!!!!
(You could try socializing a little more!!!! Make some new friends and have a few nights out with them!)

Answer 3

Be yourself. Don't ever attempt to be something you are not, for example, if you are a loner and decide to become a "people person" all of a sudden, (or vice-versa) you'd surely get hurt. And, trust me, only those who have experienced depression can truly give you honest advice. Before you try anyone's advice, ask them if they really know what it feels like. People have good intentions, but way too many of them don't even believe depression is REAL. I tell them, "why would someone want to make themselves suffer like that on purpose?" I know you understand, and so do others who may be reading this and have experienced depression first-hand.
Things that have worked: Career change, to go after a lifelong dream; adopting and loving a pet who will love you back, no matter what, (and won't talk unnecessarily *grin*); putting distance between yourself and "toxic" people.

Answer 4

Avoid kava kava (liver damage). Practice for 20 mins daily, and whenever needed, the method at http://www.selfhelpmagazine.com Meditation room; try it out; mantra meditation; repeat: "easy". Work slowly up to daily vigorous exercise of 30 - 60 mins. Eat healthily, keep occupied & consider doing some work for a worthwhile cause or charity. Tai Chi & yoga can help, too.
