Re: How do I fight this depression???

Hi.....I do not have BP but my daughter does. I know that the depressive side is something that you don't have much control over. I have heard that avoiding anything that will further bring you down is good...do not watch sad movies instead get a light comedy. Listen to music that is lively rather than dramatic or sad. Exercise, particularly walking, is said to help out as well.

As much as you do not want to be around people do your best to do so. Being alone too much just leaves you with your sad thoughts that fill up your mind and any distractions will do you good.

I hope this helps somewhat and I am sorry that you are feeling this way. As I just wrote on Dee-nah's thread, this is only a temporary phase....you will soon be coming upon better days and this will not last forever.

Meanwhile....come here and post like you are and perhaps something somebody shares with you will have you feeling somewhat better.

Sending you lots of ((((HUGS)))) ~ Goody

Re: How do I fight this depression???

Maybe you need to add an antideppressant to the mix? For short term relief exercise, sunbathing, & eating grapefruit are all known to be natural antidepressants. Good luck to you!

Re: How do I fight this depression???

I hope you feel better soon, is it possible to talk to your pdoc about adjusting your meds?

Watch the grapefruit, I know I can't take it with my meds.

What's up with the grapfruit? I know I've cleared it with my Dr? But what happens?
