Depression

[jimbobday]

Hi all,

 

So its been a while since i've been here. two years ago I started suffering from a major depression. I went on medication and made major changes to my life. I came off the meds around 4 months ago and also got back with my girlfriend a little over a year ago. things have been going great up until maybe 2 weeks ago. I noticed my mood starting to drop as well as poor sleep lack of motivation etc. The normal symptoms.

 

 

So I dropped off caffine and alcohol, started eating better, exercising more (I do at least 30 mins of walking per day plus gym 4 days a week)

 

Does anyone have any other ideas of what I can do to naturally help pull myself through?

5-HTP is a lifesaver for me. Maybe try that before considering getting back on the meds, but perhaps you just aren't quite ready to stop taking them yet.

Your list looks really good. In addition to that, I've done yoga, meditation, counselling. There are also natural anti-depressants around that you could try out.
