walking and excercise help because they release the endorfins in the brain .

bananas are great to eat because they have the same effect

if im not mistaken anti depressants try to synthesis these endorfins but natural is alawys the best than artificial thats why a lot of medications dont work they have too many side effects and at the end you have other problems

mum sufferes from arthritis and she was taking tablets for it she was in a lot of pain as she has worked very ahrd and she is 89. another doc had prscribed them. her doc said to her if you keep taking them on a regular basis like that you will bleed from an ulcer. then i would have to try to cure your ulcer but even worse that an ulcer is fatal and she could have bled to death! in other words if you cant cure the cause then there is no point in creating more causes!!!

in extreme cases people do need to take them but sitting outside is much better for you. if its cold draw open the blinds anfd let the sun in and sit by the window. listen to the birds. watch the world observe that single cloud in the sky dancing

so many things . go for a small walk up to the corner and back! smell a flower in someones garden resist the temptation to pick it ! leave it for others to smell and enjoy!!!

heya.

Yeah the anti deps are very depressive when you look things up about them. when I spoke to a mates mum about the ones I am on and what she told me made me sick to my tummy (thus why I am comming off them)

If there is a way of counciloring and a support network I would go for that if you can. Thats what I am doing.

Sadly I cant do a heap of exercise due to knee problems so I just sit outside.

Good luck with your Doc app. I hope it goes well for you.

If ya ever want someone to chat to send me a message. :)
