thanks fr sharing it here..(medications part) in my childhood I was on two pills which I don't remember now.. I just remember their color.. and I had no idea what those pills are doing to me.. I was a bright student but during my therapy period when I used to take those pills my grades went drastically down..

and I was on paxil just three years ago that's when I realized that I am turning into a zombie 😕 I talked to my doctor about withdrawing it.. He suggested to reduce the quantity slowly and I did so but it was unsuccessful as I started having panic attacks without any reason sometimes during lectures in uni 🤢 it was hell embarrassing..I used to freeze at signals while crossing roads coz my judging power got messed up. I am still paying those paramedics bills.

Medications are good for some time but not for a long period.. only thing that actually helped me from withdrawal systems is trusting those law of attraction, positive thinking stuff, the secret book.. bhramakumaris etc. for 2-3 months I stopped watching news and other negative stuff and just practiced these things and work on my thinking process.. Now I know I can still go into that dark sad state of hopelessness but I just consciously choose small happiness and practice positive thinking daily. and of course changing my diet.. I am almost a vegan now occasionally I have dairy products.. diet makes a huge difference.. I still cannot drink coffee.. it triggers my anxiety

@all - It can be cured if u want to.. even if it is hereditary or something tragic happened to you.. or even there is a chemical imbalance which was the case with me i think..(I was wrongly diagnosed 2 times, har baar koi new mental disease) nothing really happened in my childhood.. my family loved me.. I was basically a negative person.. I used to check food and ask my sister to taste it first coz I used to think my mom wants to kill me.. I hated everyone and didn't really care.. It was my personality. They suffered a lot because of me.. And my life was something else I saw something else .. and if I can come out of it anybody can..

and I love my mom now we r more like friends now lol but if I stop choosing small happy things and see positives in everything I get depressed in no time coz my brain is like that only.. it loves negativity

this forum also helps me with people I am very awkward around them in real

exactly. Glad u got out of it. I posted another link on how its placebo and the chemicals inside the pill doesn't really help with depression but has diverse side effects as u have experienced yourself.

One of my cousins have it and I can't force him as he is much older than me so that's that but its hard to see him like that. He takes these pills because he trusts the doc. It has made him exactly that a zombie. He lies all day long and does nothing and has no energy for anything. His mom told me that he doesn't even have the energy to maximize a screen window like when he watches a movie he doesn't maximize it, that's how lethargic and dull he has become.

the other thing u mentioned is CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSING, that's the key. consciously choose to pay attention to the positive side or consciously think positive thoughts rather than your mind run your life because it keeps on spinning and spinning. U have to be aware of what its saying and not to believe it and if u do believe the thought then question it and find evidence to support the opposite thought and if u do I can guarantee u that u will find evidence.

so it starts with yourself. U have to do it and u need to have faith. Faith is the key.

I also recommend 'the power of your subconscious mind' by joseph murphy. One woman in US actually won the powerball '112 million' by using his techniques. 😃

I used to be. Not anymore. Thank God .

Well, actually I don't even know if it was depression or not and if that time period can be called going through depression. But I never felt so sad as much as that time. I felt like a lifeless body struggling to live everyday because I had to pass the day since one has to live for the sake of it even if one would just want nothing but to be left alone in the room all day. I just wanted to be left alone in the room and not having to go out for school, etc. It was extremely sad. Its just hard to describe...

I think adventureman's post is really good. What he said really do help. Spritual stuffs, positive thinking, exercise etc. All help. Also, to be always stay strong no matter what and who is trying to bring you down.

To those who are depressed, don't worry. Time never remains the same. I hope all of you find peace and happiness. ❤️

I felt the same. I quit school, couldn't go, actually got physically sick it was like my mind told my body to get sick so I don't have to go outside. There was no one to help me out either. Was really confused about what was going on as I had never heard of such a thing called 'depression'

Anyways, I think if u have family and friends who understand u and can support you then that would make it easier but even if u don't, don't worry about it because that will teach you 'SELF RELIANCE'

as the saying goes 'pleasurable experiences make life delightful, painful experiences lead to growth'

so its an opportunity for growth, to evolve. Ask yourself what can u do rite now? and what can I learn from this? Time to grow, thank God or just be grateful and say THANKS and have FAITH

btw there are sites like 'meet up, internations, couchsurfing' so if u wanna socialize and feel lonely but don't know how to meet new people as it can be awkward then these places are great. U can get to know a lot of people through these groups and u attend the group meetings that interests you.

other thing is to not be hard on yourself. We judge and condemn ourselves more than anyone else so be kind to yourself.

http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29254.Be_Here_Now

if you liked the power of now you should like be here now. it is an incredible book.

yeah I've heard about it but not read it. Ram das, deepak chopra, never had an attraction towards these two but there are so many teachers and I follow a lot of them but not these two, something inside of me tells me stay away, same goes for osho 😆

I'm not even saying they're not genuine but might be too basic, don't know.

I've never been depressed.

However, I will give the ultimate secret to cure depression to those who may be suffering-CANNABIS. PM me if anyone wants recipe tips.

Oh and there's another-Surya Namaskar facing the morning sun. The morning sun part is a must otherwise you won't get ze kicks. I guarantee you will be on cloud nine.

oh yeah cannabis or even weed can help but the mother of all is 'AYAHUASCA' but I'm not sure if a depressed person should take it because it can go either way, same goes with mushrooms and LSD

there are various kinds of yoga and I'd suggest kriya yoga, find authentic teacher to do them.

India is actually a place of spiritual seekers so its like a goldmine there.

there are other methods too like 'the work by byron katie or the sedona method'

eft, pstec, Trauma release exercise, etc. There are many.

btw byron katie is great. watch this video, a really good one about depression.
