Thank you all for the suggestions. I wish it was as easy as cleaning up my diet. I eat as clean as possible and drink lots of water. Working out is my passion. This is why I am so scared, feeling this way when I am already taking everyones suggestions.

Well...I hope your not just bullshittin or trolling, But if you're for real. I feel you and know it can be hard sometimes, regardless of how well you take care of yourself you still feel like shit. For whatever reason. Relationship, family, friends, job, whatever

I've been going through some stuff myself lately with my friends and have been feeling depressed as f*ck but I'm trying to push through it.

Thankfully I have my family and 2-3 good friends I can count on and talk too. If I didn't have that I would be truly alone

Try to take life as it comes and don't worry too much about your future or mistakes you've made in the past. Think about now, and if you feel like you aren't doing shit or you aren't happy....u can do something to change it.

Only you can improve your situation.

To add: don't take the forums to serious.

If you believe the stories, than WW3 is around the corner, Sun doom can happen any day, and dec 2012 you will have your last breathe.

Forget the meds. Hug a puppy. Listen to the music of nature such as birds singing, wind blowing through trees, water gurgling. Those will make you feel more serene and even happy. Meds will only make you an addict which will depress you even more.

mental pharmas are some of the most sinister. some people think they are doing well on them and next thing you know they are all broken again. just awful.
i tried quite a few of them some years ago. totally toxic and weird.

Happens to me occasionally. Previous posters are right. Step away from the PC, turn off the tv, and get some fresh air. Avoid all conspiracy sites and news for 24 hours. see how you feel

Another 6 weeks to slowly reduce.
Repeated it with 5 other antidepressants, never took it, but it gave me a year rest.
Enough to get me back on my feet.

This is another reason I've never cared to try it. Maybe I would have the patience to try one pill, let it get into my system for a few weeks, and see if it works, but knowing that if it doesn't, I'll have opened the doors to being told "ok try this one, now try this one, now try this one", no thanks. And with the way they take weeks to build up in your system, whenever I'm in the worst of my depression I always just feel like I'll probably feel somewhat better in 4-6 weeks on my own anyways, so screw it.

OP sounds like you're already at the healthy end of the spectrum, maybe you actually do need to take a few steps in the other direction, give your body a brief rest from the constant hammering of exercise, take a few rest days, sometimes you take a few days off and when you go back to working out it feels a lot better, but I know this may be hard if you feel like you're addicted to your current routine. Same thing with diet, if you're super clean that great, but if there's a favorite food you've been denying yourself, one treat/cheat meal won't kill ya.

Sometimes when I am depressed, instead of fighting it, I submit myself entirely and just let it pass. I've done that recently actually. Lots of sleep, watching movies, a few beers when I'm in the mood, I let my apartment turn into a disaster zone because I stopped cleaning haha, and then when I'm ready I just naturally come out of it, started feeling that way yesterday as I finally felt like taking out the trash, mopped the floors, spent some time outside. I just needed to let myself be a bum for a few.

I am for real.

Even my old tried & true cure, shopping, is not helping. That's how I know its bad.

Usually a new purse or pair of shoes cheered me right up.... Tissue

Glad you realized what a destructive trap meds are. I tell you, the best healer is nature. Many people are surrounded constantly by artificial environment consisting of noisy vehicles, ugly buildings, concrete under the feet. This is not good for the heart of man. Human beings were meant to view beauty all around them. The endless beauty of trees and flowers and birds and sparkling rivers and lakes, etc. It is unhealthy for the human heart to be cut off from nature for too long.

I don't take these forums that seriously. I like the news, but doom is always on the horizon. I mostly come here to get a laugh and try to offer good advice when I can.

indeed. probably why tptb are tearing up nature with a vengeance. people stuck in cities, or people stuck in a man made illness, whatever..this world is a trap.
i have to fight every morning just to get up and face the day. i feed the wild birds and have pets and that keeps me going more than anything. i was well enough to start a little flower garden this spring and that has helped.
i see the negativity of this world as the dragon and i have to fight it to the death, it's death. and fights of this caliber are bound to be terrible. and it is depressing.
