I had depression and it took me just a few weeks to have it go away. The following is what i did to make it go away.
- I followed the same routine everyday
- I took one hour to relax and read about the diffeent treatments on depressionon on the web.
- I took a lot of time for myself to relax and think about nothing. I relaxed my mind.
- I did not pressure myself to do anything major for at least 3 weeks.
- I excercised daily by walking on the treadmill, the same time everyday.
- I took time to nurture myself and stated this time is for me, i deserve it and i need this time to heal.
- I ate a diet with lots of vegetables and took vitamins especially folic acid. People who are depressed sometimes lack folic acid.
- I went to bed by 10 pm and got a good night sleep.
- I had a support person i could talk to when i needed about how i was feeling.
In 3 weeks my depression went away and it hasen't been back since.
I hope my information has been helpful. Remember to take good care of yourself and follow a routine and nurture needs your needs first. Also visit a dr if you feel you could use medicine or therapy.
Good luck!!!
