God is awesome there is no way I could deal with my depression without him. He is our healer and our comforter.Replied by Lisa (Thousand Oaks, Ca, Usa) on 08/08/2012
Hi Angelglow, I would like to suggest reading works by Dr. Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Alan Cohen, Eckhart Tolle and/ or Marianne Williamson. When I was in my teens and into my 20's I struggled with that. My childhood was wrought with difficulty and led to so much anger. Depression too, which is anger turned inward. Eventually I learned to meditate, read and read and did spiritual practice which dispelled all of that. I never used medication and in my personal opinion, it was a deep connection to the Source that helped me heal. Those authors I suggested also had painful experiences (Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay and Eckhart Tolle, for sure) and were not afraid to frankly share them to show we can all find our way out of the pain. Try to read something enlightening every day, preferably each morning to help your mind set or vibration, some call it.Anyway, I hope this gives you some guidance. I wish you the very best. Blessings, Lisa

To repeat Juliette, getting the body moving.. yoga, anything is the biggest 1st step...One thing I noticed to help alter my dark moods is taking 2 (500mg) Krill oil pills... I generally notice a change within a few hours...
Eating an anti-inflamatory diet can help... high in greens, berries, omega 3s...
This link from Weil may help as well... http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART00696/depression-treatment
