One Last Note
As I mentioned earlier, this was my own personal journey with depression, and it may not be the right fit for you. I really encourage you to talk to your doctor if you are struggling and see if they think any of these methods could help you.There is absolutely no shame in dealing with mental health issues, and there is no shame in asking for help. I hope that this list has given you some ideas and to also know that, no matter how you feel right now, there are definitely better days ahead.
What Worked for Me
After making the decision to really change my lifestyle, I spoke with my psychiatrist about things I wanted to try. With her support and guidance, I was able to get off the antidepressant I had been taking for years. I learned some major things about my body and mind through that journey, and I’m so grateful to say that I am now depression-free.I want to reiterate that this is my story. Every body and brain is different. I am in no way suggesting you throw your medication in the trash or stop seeing your doctor. In fact, I highly encourage you to talk to your doctor about about your treatment. Make sure that the changes you have in mind are right for you. Many people need to take medication along with making lifestyle changes, and that is okay. There is zero shame in taking medication for mental illness! Even if you aren’t comfortable or aren’t able to stop taking medication, many of these steps may work great in conjunction with your current health plan.
