Oh, and getting a DOG was the best thing I EVER did. Depression is something we get good at, something that reinforces itself. Thanks for what you shared in there. So if we don't learn to help ourselves, we're doomed. A combination of Prozac and a concentrated effort to look for even the smallest good things in my life turned me around.
Homeopathic remedies work quickly and much better than traditional medications.
Doesn't last, but at least it works in the first place. Tricyclics have always helped me along with therapy intermittently and a lot of self -education about AD and other areas of interest. Paxil worked the best for me. I try to focus on others, so I don't wallow in my own thoughts. We see that there are many ways to recover.
