I'm still so depressed

[tooter212]

I had a dental appt. this morning at 10 the material didn't come in so have to go back at 3:20. We went to a china place to eat, it was horrible!! I got some more Gatorade I'm sipping it. I've just got to get over this depression!!! I don't even feel like going to the Dr

Your welcome tooter and it does help though not right away but fairly quickly.
There are even studies that they did on people who weren't even depressed and it even made their moods improve !!!

Oh I have no problem with taking antidepressants. It's just that they don't work for me.

Ricart, I will try that even though my sugar level is ok I do eat a lot of sugar. I was wondering about that. I was drinking a lot of Dr Peppers as well. It's funny how simple things can work!!  Thank you. It would be a God send if it works for me.

Hi
I just wanted to share an opinion in anti depressants ..
A quick question to ask yourself.
If you had diabetes would you take insulin ?
I guess my point is if you had a different kind of Heath issue would you take the medicine to help?
Depression should be treated no different. No shame no judging some people have a chemical imbalance it's nothing to be ashamed of.

yes I have thought of the light and I have been in the depression comm.  I've got to get up and get dressed again to go back to the dentist. Thank you guys

Have you tried posting in the depression community? Those folks are a wealth of knowledge and may be able to give you some tips that we can't. I hope this all works out for you.

Hey sweetie, listen I know you don't want to try antidepressants but have you considered "light therapy"?  I have had depression my whole life and tried many things and this is surprisingly quite effective.  Check it out online, but it must be full spectrum light.  I think my light was a couple hundred dollars.  
Just a thought, don't know why I haven't mentioned it before.  Hugs
