How to battle depression?

Question

besides medication, talking, joking, what else. No matter how many ways I try, deep down I'm still depressed. Especially when I see certain things, certain situation, certain people...

Answer 1

Sorry, Fartman...I would love to help but I'm not an expert myself.  

Answer 2

Pray by heart. I mean BY HEART. And if it is associated with someone, try real hard to erase that someone from ur mind. With full effort, i believe u can do it.

If u r muslim, dont forget to perform Solat hajat as well. If u do it properly, i bet it may make ur prob vanished.

Once u get in bed, start to say astaghfirullahalazim, subhanalah, lailahailallah repeatedly till u fall asleep.

It works for me, hope it will work for u too...

Answer 3

You're going to let her walk away?  

Answer 4

Have you watched "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"? Sleep with loads of women...hehe.....................doesn't work!

And stop listening to soppy love song. Listen to some upbeat numbers that make you want to get up and dance or do something positive/naughty!

Exercise...go to a gym and feast your eyes too. Exercise produces endorphins that makes one feel good. And the end result..you'll look good, too!

Keep yourself occupied with activities, chores, outing with friends (not depressive or negative ones!) Leave yourself no time to dwell on unhappy thoughts.

As cliche as it may sound, time is a great healer...trust me!!

Just don't give up or give in, ok, kiddo...!!

Answer 5

I m also suffering fr depression, n a severe one too. Until now, I solely rely on medication. Now at maximum dosage.

Some say Yoga, some say Qiqong, some say Meditation can help. But I did try n they doesn't seem 2 work 4 me.

I hv surrendered n accept whatever comes. Now too tired of hoping for a recovery. Last resort, ECT. Hv u tried ECT before?

If u like 2 communicate, u can email me at [e-mail].  It would be comforting 2 talk 2 a fellow depression sufferer. That is ofcourse if I m still around.

Take Good Cre,

Depwill

A Lot Of Things Will Affect Your Depression, And It Can Be A Sign You Need A Healthier Lifestyle.  Try Exercise, Run or Jog for 10 Minutes, Drink A Lot Of Water, Try Meditation, (Not Medication) Limit The Amount Of Sugar You Eat.  But Also, Try To Figure Out What Is Actually Making You Depressed.  It Could Be Something In Your Life, Or It Might Be Psychological.

Answer 12

I've been in the verge of extreme depression from a tragic event in my family life.  God was my source of strength.  I surrendered everything to Him and miraculously, I'm ok now.  

From your previous questions and answers, i kind of gathered that you are neither a Muslim or a Christian.  :) Am I far off?  

So my suggestion might not be to your liking, hehe.  Still, I speak from the heart because I've been there.  Bless you!!:)

Answer 13

look for ayam2 at bukit bintang surely you will be happy but use perlindungan  

Answer 14

If the source of your depression is that human being, stay away from her. Keep yourself busy. Medication alone doesnt help if your heart and mind are weak. Trust me, brain power is Number One. Talk to somebody if you can. Do not keep it in your heart. I used to spend my free time talking to messenger friends because medication doesnt help. Finally I plucked up courage to walk away from the source of my misery. Now Im as happy as clown. :D :D  

Answer 15

Listen to music, nice music not loud music. or just for spa treatment

Answer 17

Chocolates and lots of sugary stuff. If taht doesn't work, talk toBean, Gindy, ItsShowTIme or some YAMmer. It will cure you. Try to be more positive and things may turn out better

Answer 18

Good on you DVA. Nice to have people like you to offer others a hand.

Taking medication IS NOT a solution. Depression start from the heart and mind.

Talking to others is a start.

Try to enjoy the little things that you do. Just the small little things. Be with cooking, taking a leisure stroll around the park.

I personally find playing with my son is a good way to relax. Unconditional love, you see.

Good luck to you.

Answer 19
