me dealing with depression

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Bloody good post mate

 

Second that.

Most depression is formed from bad diet/inputs.

The body is a complex electro chemical soup and modern foods, including grains, fake sugars, chemical salts, fluorides etc are are bound to screw with the brain. Then chuck in electronic gadget addiction on top and you are on a hiding to nothing.

 

Get primal man, be the caveman again and feel a million years younger, it worked for me!

Totally agree , back to basic foods and plenty of fresh air and day light ( vitamin 10)

 

Keep away from Facebook too .

But people need to know what I had for lunch and how I feel about reality tv shows.

Cept this year I "fell off the wagon" during that brilliant weather we had in September.

Off on leave, enjoying life, cutting sticks one day and BAM, off the rails the next.

really really bad depression.

For ABSOLUTLY no reason.

Dr. conculde I am Bi-polar, which hardly surprise me!

Pulled out of it there over Xmas, & I joked it were the days getting longer did it for me.

BUT

I have learned to live with myself during these intermittent bouts, knowing I will always, always, eventually pull through.

So now I merely roll with the punchs.

In the past I would have tried to "fight" it.

cheers

yes i have children/adults now but put a brave face on when my youngest daughter visits she's 22 y/o others have moved away now all grown up etc and wont bog them down with my demons etc >>> there is only yourselves i've told some my deepest thoughts not all because it brings too much pain back to the surface i feel like a weak person telling you all this stuff

 

no you are a brave person and right to tell us - it affecting your life - it needs sorting

Good video Mr Gerbutt...I was actually thinking about getting into something like this only yesterday. I like that it says "the noise of birds tweeting and trees rustling" will not stop the meditation.

 

 

It'd be awesome if you did Silky and it'd be interesting to hear the difference you feel. As most would agree on here you'd seem to be the last person that'd need meditation, so it would just go to show how beneficial it can be for everyone. You don't need to have anything amiss to have a great change 😀

[silky fox]

I think anyone and everyone would benefit from meditation. Especially in a world now where are minds and senses are bombarded from every angle.

No worries 👍

 

The great thing is that even if you believe yourself to have no problems it'd still be highly beneficial, and the bliss of no thought is quite incredible 😀

 

That's my problem, I've no problems!

 

Everyone else on this thread can say "I'm down because......................"

 

Well I can't, yet increasingly I'm getting down about what MIGHT happen next. No reason for it, no logic to it, don't feel worthless, quite the opposite in fact, I look back at what I've managed to achieve and feel quite proud but then think that there isn't really anything left for me to do but to sit back and get old and decrepit.

 

Sometimes it gets me proper for a few days or even a week, usually triggered by something totally insignificant. There's a trait of mental instability on my mothers side of the family so every reason to suppose that this is something inherent rather than circumstantial but that also means there's no particular circumstance I can change to improve things.

 

Medication really will be a last resort, I figure I should be strong enough and smart enough to beat it and I certainly will be giving the meditation a go. Also have high blood pressure (inherited again!) and I've resisted all the advice to go on permanent medication for that as well so anything to de-stress will help there as well.

I have done meditation - not because I was depressed (I was as a teenager - now im 50) just as an interest - It was very relaxing, gave me a slightly altered state of consciousness and afterwards had a positive attitude for a few hrs - I havnt done it for a few yrs

That's brilliant, years ago the thought was that the brain your born with is the one you'll have for life so the traits you bring over from your parents you'll be stuck with. Now they know through neuroplasticity that this is wrong! Doing this meditation/any type of meditation will defo help with how you feel and the bonus is that through the tests they found that it lowers blood pressure too, win win 😀 In one test they gave the people who had done the 12 weeks of meditation the flu jab and they found that their immune systems were loads stronger than the test subjects that hadn't meditated👍

 

I think you've just found the answer to you troubles and what better time for it to have happened than the eve of a new year!
