| Hello P! Thank you for visiting my site and thank you for purchasing my e-book. I would have probably replied to you with a trivial “Start with a five minute walk” or something like that. Most of the depression treatment sources advising on that manner. But from my experience I know it will bring you nothing but more depression. What you need is a REAL WORKOUT. So think about yourself as a private who’ve just been drafted to military and his sergeant at the same time. Kind of bipolar Disorder but on different, healthy way. So let the sergeant to give you an order: Stand up and go! Go, doesn’t matter what. So there will be no any other option but to follow an order. You will be amazed how soon you will become addicted to that drug – exercises. It will restore your sleep, will raise your energy levels, will generate endorphins, will boost serotonin levels, and will stimulate new brain cell growth. Rigards. D.K _________________________________________________ Hello Dana! I’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression 5 years ago. Been on and off Zoloft, Paxil, tried Pamelor and Amitriptyline. Also tried Saint Johns Wort. Occasionally I am taking Melatonin or Valerian Root for sleep improvement. It is going up and down, but unfortunately I still couldn’t regain that healthy feeling I’ve had before this major episode. I am not suicidal or anything of this sort, working, and have a perfect family. I am enjoying tennis, fishing, camping. But for all those years I still have “My Depression with me” Some days it is almost not noticeable, some days (especially rainy days) are really bad. Browsing your web site I see that you’ve put a lot of effort to overcome your depression. It is definitely much more comparing to me. Do you have some kind of advice how to beat this thing? Thank you for your time. V. Hi V! Thank you for visiting my site. The problem lies in our ............. mind. Let’s See. Every human (if he is healthy in general, until some serious health crises will hit him) has following perception of all illnesses: First category: the easiest; like common cold or something of that sort. We all know that with broad availabilities of over the counter medicine we’ll be OK in 5-7 days. We’ll be OK even without any medicine! Our immune system will restore a healthy condition. Second category: like ear infections, bronchitis, asthma, some illnesses which require minor surgery. We know that with proper treatment we’ll be OK in a month or so. And finally the Third category: with all God forbids cancers, diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses etc. We know that only by mobilizing all our resources, by finding a proper treatment we have a chance for cure and perspective of survival in many cases. When I am reading emails like yours I see that many simply don’t realize where depression has been situated on that scale of severity. Some are positioning it within first category. Some are sure that with the right pills it could be fixed in a month. My first advice – you should realize that depression may be one of the worst illnesses we know. Yes, it is not that bad as dubieties or cancer. Yes, it is highly treatable. However finding what works may involve weeks or months - and sometimes even years - of frustration and heartbreak, but with the range of choices we now have, your prospects are excellent if you will change your perception of the depression and your attitude toward it. Depression treatment is a full-time job, not a part-time. With respect. D. K. _______________________________________________________ Hello Dana! I have downloaded your e-book yesterday. It contains for sure a lot of helpful materials. And also your non-traditional approach to many trivial things is quiet interesting. At the same time many aspects of your cure plan look kind of odd to me. For example I can’t imagine myself going to the gym and exercising when for me everything is an effort. Getting up, doing anything, hygiene, cleaning. Every time I think of doing something there is a moment of panic and sadness and then I have to force the action. It feels like my whole life is spent walking against the tide in the ocean but this is both physically and mentally. I do all right most of the time except for my days off, holidays and winter. Thanks for listening. G. Good evening G! Thank you for purchasing my e-book. Yes! This is exactly what you need -to force the action. You must tell to yourself - Just stand up and go! If you can’t do it, ask some one from your household to do it for you. Make a friend with someone miserable like you and do it together. I guarantee that at the end of third week you’ll be feeling much better. The first two weeks are the most difficult. You must pass trough these weeks something like on a cruise control. Don’t look inside your self, don’t ask yourself: “Am I better off? Or Still no changes? The changes will come. Regards. D. K. Hello Dana! Thanks for prompt response. I probably look to you kind of annoying but I am still not convinced how it supposes to work. I think with my depression I am already under huge stress. Would it be good idea to put myself even under bigger stress? All of the traditional sources are advising relaxation, meditation, and some other things of that sort. Can moderate exercise (20-30 minutes of walking per day) be effective in treating depression? Thanks for listening. G! |
