The time I was most depressed, everything was going ‘great’ but it didn’t feel that way.
It hit me the hardest when I realized there was no reason to be depressed but I still was. I had everything I wanted but hated myself even more for still being down and not appreciating what I had.
When you’re not happy with life and don’t see any way to improve it, suicide sticks in your mind. It’s always there and the only question for me was ‘when’ and not ‘if’.
I managed to get better by radically changing my diet and eating lots of vitamin rich food. There had to have been a chemical imbalance since I am not constantly depressed anymore for no reason. My life is actually harder now than while I was depressed.
I never went on the meds because I refused to put synthetics into my body. The brain is so complex that nobody knows how they work. I was more afraid of the meds than suicide.
I do get down sometimes but only when there are good reasons for it. This is normal and not depression.
IMO, many cases of depression today are due to junk food. There are thousands of chemicals in food today that weren’t used before and I doubt they were tested for psychological effects.
Guess we just don’t agree.
It’s a soul issue, not a chemical or a food issue.
