Just agnolage bad thoughts are there and that your not doing that now separate yourself from that it’s not you
So my doc says. And it works if you work on it takes time patience 🤪
Seems very reasonable. How can you be positive when you’re suffering depression?
Can't turn my brain off from all negative thinking. Scared nothing will work😪
Holy cow, I've been through more combos than I can count. I started keeping track after I had a spinal injury from a car accident. SSRIs either gave me a bad reaction, didn't work, or pooped out. Then… read more
How do u keep from giving up on finding a partner, when everything they do can be misconstrued as rejection...?
Myself and my fiance have been together for almost 10 years now and he's wonderful as he will chase up my medication for me if I've already tried to myself and gotten nowhere or if he sees that I'm… read more
Make a conscious effort to think of anything good. Dogs, flowers, places you've visited.
Just wondering if anyone else here finds comfort in the bottom of a bottle, when having a really down episode,

I don't consider feeling sad about something bad that happened depression. That is a normal response to something. To me depression is feeling bad when I don't really have a reason to. Or feeling too bad about something that happened. Too bad for too long.

Hi get to the root causes of why you are depressed, what are your triggers
I've seen people talking about Buddhism and how it can help to change the focus of the mind to ease depression episodes. I'm very interested in trying something new but hesitant because I'm not at all religious (religion played a big negative role in my childhood). Does anyone have any resources to understand why training yourself to be in the Buddhist mindset helps with depression? I don't necessarily want to be a Buddhist but maybe a new way of thinking can help? Thanks.
Meditation is what it's all about 🥰
