For those who have struggled with depression, what do you do to fight it? Has anyone here succeeded at making depression their bitch. It still has my ass! Sad

Yes, I have with out medication, but there are always bad days you have to struggle with.

The best way to beat depression is to go outside, socialize, and exercise.

I'm trying a theory of mine that you can treat depression with opiates. It's not based in anything except the fact that I enjoy opiates and they make me not want to kill myself all the time lol. It's working so far. Three days (friday, saturday, and sunday) are spent leaning, or taking opiates; and the rest of the week I feel fine. I'm not advocating this therapy for anyone else though as opiates can be very addictive. Although sticking with this Chinese proverb about opiates I heard years ago (no more than three days of continual usage etc) has paid off for me. Depression sucks...a lot. If I wasn't so busy with my school work I'd probably have time to be more depressed Wink

meaning...stay busy Tongue

Regular exercise can really help! The human body is quite efficient at combatting naturally a lot that ails it. This isn't to say that medication isn't necessary for those who are battling more chronic bouts of depression.

I don't have depression issues but if I'm stressed, I can get depressed. And exercise helps pretty well. But, sometimes you don't feel like doing much when you're feeling down or depressed, but if you push through it, exercising for a time, it can really benefit mood.

Meds, my social network and trying to enjoy all the small things in life is what I do to keep it at bay.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

I was always wondering what is the difference between those who are depressed often and those who are never depressed.

I very rarely feel depressed anymore. Starting anti-psychotics actually curbed it significantly. The rest was stomped out by zoloft.

Anti-psychotics can make a huge difference although it wasn't until I started Latuda that I really noticed a change in my depression. Risperidone and Geodon didn't have much effect on depression for me. Just out of curiosity if you feel like sharing what antipsychotic are you on?
