...and cheerfully looking forward to a miracle (where a miracle would be anything at all happening).
by way of introduction, i should say that i can be kinda sarcastic sometimes.
i'm 37 and i've been dealing with depression (recurring, worsening) for about 25 years. according to some neuroscientists, about half
my hyppocampus should be gone by now. i've practiced meditation with intermittent conviction for many years, i've tried medication, both
herbal and perscription, of many kinds, and i've seen 3 differrent therapists. i'll be starting therapy with a 4th therapist in about a month.
i take omega-3 fatty acids, a multivitamin, and i eat lots of fresh friuts and vegatables that are rich in antioxidants. i also exercise regularly,
which unlike all of the aformentioned actually seems to help.
i'm exagerating a little, of course. a couple of medications have helped a little, and i've had some insights (not from therapy, just on my
own) that have helped me progress, but it all seems to add up to scaling a boulder when i need to scale a mountain--actually being free
of depression just doesn't seem realistic.
still, i'm diving into this. i like the homework idea. as long as it isn't something i've done a dozen times before.
