hello everyone. i have some questions id like to ask and get answers. i have been suffering, i guess you can say, major depression since i was 10 yrs old due to the fact of my mom is the #1 problem cuz of all the mistreatment from her plus hardly a dad in my life even though they are still legally married and live together.
the prob is with my depression i feel like i am getting deeper and deeper into it to the point i feel like i cant seem to enjoy anything in life and it gets to the point where it bores me to death. i enjoy hanging out with my friends and fiance and stuff that we do together. its summer, i wanna do somethin but when i want to do somethin i find some kind of excuse not 2 do it. i am lookin into volunteer opportunities to do. i have been staying home, i really wanna go out and make new friends but thats still hard for me to do. im in the process of recreating myself meaning improving myself. i feel like i am becoming like my mom! sitting at home, never goin anywhere, and do nothin with my life! in the past, i had this doctor who gave me an antidepressent medicine. the shit didnt do anything, he only prescribed 60mg as a sample to see how i responded to it. this problem is really hurting me badly, i wont take those antidepressants again since they lead to suicide. plz dont say "talk to a professional." ive gotten most of my answers from dr phil and dr keith ablow, so if i went to a shrink what advice is different than what dr phil and dr ablow have said? does anyone have any opinions? id prefer using something for depression the natural way.

I have suffered from depression now diagnosed as Bi Polar I for 40 years. Had major mental physical emotional breakdown four years ago. Have had about same of Cymbalta anti depressant now finished and now have Seroqual anti psychotic as being BPI am more manic than down.
It and therapy good docs worked for me as I am now studying retraining moderately balanced and have great new relationship. I would see a Prof TV docs Hmm for the mass but one must be specific. If its clinical depression then your brain chems are as my Grandad said to hell on a hand cart. You have to get these balanced. Yes Omega 3 Zinc can help but as additions as, can meditation, exercise etc. But think of clinical depression as Diabetes once your balanced and know your levels you might be able to control by diet etc but not now. Get seen get meds get balanced then experiment. It is worth it as life is sweet. NO FEAR NO LIMITS NO SHAME

What jagellio52 says is so true.........One time i told the author of these great books...That i didn't like taking meds eventhough i was sooo depressed.
I told him i was really into health and against "drugs". he said "it all comes from God" natural or not, whatever works. Take care of yourself.

Some people say St john' wort works, also,
l-phenylalanine and l-tyrosine (aminoacids)but they didn't work for me, neither has any anti-depressant work for me. On another note, i hate irresponsible parents that want their children to be grateful for haing been brought to this world. Yes if my parents had planned me, brought me up the way a child should, i'd be grateful. Since i'm the product of a heated night and my mother wanting to abort me, but my father to much of a religious fanatic to let her, and childhood of neglect.....Frankly i feel like saying, next time don't do me the "favor".

I know you're against antidepressants but they really do work. You cannot fight depression just by sheer willpower. You have to make some choices and decide or you will never get better. Trust me, I've tried it both ways.

take a look at these sites on antidepressants http://www.naturalnews.com/np/Amer...
http://www.naturalnews.com/np/arti... check out these books The Instinct to Heal: Curing Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Without Drugs and Without Talk Therapy the researcher's name is mike adams, he is so awesome! his research is unbiased and he is very truthful. also, they have proven that these antidepressant pills are making ppl suicidal, im not gonna take a pill thats gonna make me delusional and increase my thoughts on suicide. therapy - same advice nothin new. i read a great book called living the truth by keith ablow such a wonderful book. did all the exercises and i learned a lot about myself and my "family." it has helped me a lot. the prob is with my doctors none of them arent for anything natural, im thinkin about seeing another doctor anyway its not really an ppl insurance. the prob with those natural forms of depression are expensive, ur right i have to experiment to see what works for me and what wont work for me. i do have to get my chemical balances balanced to be healthy. i do exercise that helps me with depression. flaxseed is also great for the brain as well.
