[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 142965, member: 3626"] Being one very prone to depression, I understand your misery. Here are some things to do that can help even when you have no funds to see someone: 1. Exercise! It really does build up seratonin levels. So, find some sort of exercise to do at least 30 minutes a day and absolutely force yourself to do them. (For me, it is dance. Finally got myself a Dance, Dance Machine for the TV -- at least I like this exercise.) 2. Eat as healthy as possible. Lots of fruits and veggies. 3. Find someone you trust to talk to. A therapist is nice but sometimes just having someone you can vent to is a great help. 4. If the house is a mess and it's too much to do at once, pick a corner and start there. Slowly go from that corner until the whole house is done. Once a corner is cleaned up, it is not allowed to be a place to drop clutter again. It make take awhile to get the house back to normal, but it can be done, one corner/room at a time. 5. Write down something good about you every day and put it where you can see it. I use post-its and put them on my bathroom mirror. Sometimes the best I can muster is I got up and fed the critters. Sometimes it is what a good friend I am and an example. If worse comes to worse, there's always the fact I have pretty eyes and great legs. Just something to remind you there really is a good person fighting to get out of this depression. Do these things faithfully for at least a month and you will see a little light at the end of the tunnel. The more it becomes a habit, the easier it is to do these things. It won't end the depression, but it will help. (((((HUGS))))) [/QUOTE]
