Needing a solution for depression

[Hspr]

Hi I have been struggling with depression for 10 years and I have not found a solution yet. I find it difficult to get up in the morning and I lack motivation to do anything. I feel helpless. Can anyone suggest help? Thank you

Hi Hspr I understand how you’re feeling. Have you seen a therapist or psychiatrist about it? Have you tried meditations? Depression will definitely make you feel tired and unmotivated. Do you work?

Hi MariaLove123, I have seen psychiatrist but medication did not help me. I am not working at the moment; I have tried prayers but it is not working. However I have not tried a therapist.

You should google therapists in your area, but look at their ratings and reviews. There are many great therapists out there, but there’s always a few bad apples. It feels good to talk to someone who doesn’t know you and surely doesn’t judge you. It feels releasing after each session. Go for it!

Medication AND therapy can really help

I'm sorry to hear that! It is hard, dealing with that so long ,it's draining. One thing that helps with energy and focus is B Complex vitamins. I have also found that taking magnesium and ginseng helped me a lot, they calm the mind body and spirit and get rid of sticky negative thoughts the loop around in the mind. Also, getting outside, laying on the grass to get grounded and breathe in fresh air, looking at stars, these things help a lot too. Our environment help or hurt our mental health and physical health. Speak aloud positive truths to counteract the negative thoughts and things said to us. Call those negatives a lie and correct them to yourself. Protect yourself from those who put that added stress on you and go out and do new challenging things, take classes, go t meetups. Learn new things, meet new people, it will get you out of the pit. Also, Volunteering helps us get our of our own misery to help others, which helps us also. Hope this helps you, blessings!
