i have not officially been diagnosed with
depression, but i know its there. i wanted
to know if there is anything that i can do
besides going to a doctor. i have looked
around online for herbal things. does
anything work that is not prescription.
im not sure if i have always been
depressed or if its a new thing. i have
always been a quiet keep to myself person.
lately maybe the past few months or so i
have been feeling moody and sad, like im
always doing something wrong. my boyfriend
says that i always look sad and not
myself. just recently maybe the past week
or 2 i have had strange thoughts(like what
if would feel like to hurt myself or to be
badly injured in an accident) i am always
thinking of worst case scenarios for
example, when my boyfriend tells me hes
running late on work or hes going out with
some friends my mind always goes back and
forth about what could be going on with
girls or wheather hes doing what hes
telling me hes doing. im pretty sure its
all in my head. i just want it to all go
away. but i dont have time or money to see
a doctor.
any advice is greatly appreciated thank
you

These kind of situation is very hard for
others to help you with. My cousin has
depression, she even hurts herself by
cutting, and now she is developing an
eating disorder. I know what you mean when
u think of senarios of the worst possible
cases. I think that too, but you think cuz
you deeply care about this person and you
just dont want them doing anything to
jepordize it. My girlfriend comes from a
totally different background where she
thinks about group sex and there were
times where she even asked me how i would
feel if she saw her ex boyfriend. So like
sometimes when im taking a shower the
thoughts of her giving another guy blowjob
and cheating on me would just make me
think of what i would do. Honestly that
part everyone in a relationship thinks
about it, but it prolly doesnt happen. But
relationship is all about the trust. You
know i was also once in ur situation, i
felt depressed and everything. Waking up
and feel like everyday is gonna be a bad
day. The way i fixed my problem was i
started to think postive. I woke up and
told myself that today is going to be a
good day. It was hard because ur basically
changing urself into someone totally new.
It takes time but in the end its worth it.
I have a loveing girlfriend, im doing
pretty well in college. As with the
boyfriend thing nothing to worry about it.
Let it just flow.

hello
i am suffering from PPD and underlying
depression right now. i do not want to be
on meds or antidepresants for it (im just
not a medicine person lol)
however i DO have some suggestions that
may be of great help that my dr told me
to try instead of going the route of
antidepressants
1. cut ALL caffiene out fo your dietand
replace it with water
2. start eating fresh healthy
foods,nothing fried or with a huge amount
of fat.
3. exersize really helps
talking is the best tool and the best
medicine
it will help you so much
you know what else
music and writting too are great stress
relievers and help to vent
good luck!
