Struggling with Depression: Seeking Alternative Treatments

Therapy. If that’s not enough, Spravato. You do have to be on an antidepressant to take Spravato though. You can also try TMS.

If you can exercise, try going on a walk and then really paying attention to how your brain feels afterward. I have started to notice that if I get my blood pumping, it’s easier to manage my depression in the short term. I know it can be hard to get the motivation up to do that though!

Yes! I feel empty also. I'm not sure there is help for this. 40 yrs and still waiting.

😥 👍 🙌 ❤️ YES 👍 DEPRESSION COMES AND GOES USUALLY FOR MYSELF ALSO…. BUT THE LAST 2- MONTHS I HONESTLY JUST CANNOT SHAKE IT OFF. ITS MAKING ME FEEL SO SAD 😭, SICK 🤕, & DEFINITELY EMPTY INSIDE AND OUT!!!! I CANT TAKE THIS PAIN IN MY SOUL ANYMORE. BUT AS IVE BEEN TOLD?? THIS TO SHALL PASS. I CAN ONLY HOPE 🙏 🙌 😥 😔 😭 I PRAY 🙏SOONER THAN LATER. I DONT MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY FEEL LIKE MYSELF ANYMORE IM JUST BROKEN 😞 INSIDE AND SO DEPRESSED CONSTANTLY. OMG 😳. I HOPE 🤞 THIS HELPS SOMEONE ELSE TOO. ✌️ 😔

What do you mean you're having trouble taking an antidepressants? If there is something natural I'd like to know! I'm just plain ole tired of this life but have my 80 yr old mom to take care of plus a bunch of others...looong story.
