I’m happy, I’m supposed to be. With my achievements and what I have in this moment of my life. I have a Master of Science degree in Accounting, I’m a CPA, soon to be CFE. I work as an auditor and make top 13 % of Americans my age. I have a boyfriend that loves me very much and tries his best to take care of me. But I’m just so depressed. I don’t want to live off drugs (doesn’t matter if it’s prescription or not) for the rest of my life. This pain in my brain is so heavy and sharp. And it lasts forever and doesn’t stop. I just want to make it stop. I can’t even feel good feelings unless I’m high.

I am a bit like you. Mostly self educated non-degreed electronic engineer that up until about 6 months ago thought I would never escape depression: deep, strong, and unrelenting. It is now a minor nuisance. It is now greatly reduced by a number of natural, easily obtained items and a few certain activities daily. I will go into detail if you like.
Yes please
As promised, here goes. I have reduced deadly depression to a minor nuisance. Here is how it was done.
It started with me looking online for a therapy method. I found all methods objectionable until I came upon one in particular. That one was EMDR.
The next step was to find an agreeable therapist. I already knew this could not be left to chance. I had already been through eight of them and they just were not up to helping me.
So I went online looking at therapist profiles. To thin the herd I only looked at ones that practiced EMDR. Most profiles looked dubious. Except one. She stood out as one that seemed relatable and methodical. She has been gold.
Over time, and not necessarily in this order, she led me to add much needed behaviors to my life.
One of the early ones was essential oils. Shortly after she mentioned them I read a book entitled “Healing Oils of the Bible”. The effect of it, and them, has been profound.
She encouraged me to exercise lightly almost every day. I chose walking.
She encourage me to greet a stranger almost every day. I do this one while walking.
Starting in October and continuing through March, she encourages me to use a SAD therapy lamp of at least 10,000 LUX. Very effective.
She encouraged me to use several supplements. This comment is already getting long, so just let me know if you want the list of them and I will give it.
She encouraged me in so many other ways and continues to teach me how to resolve conflict again lessen the pain from a mother who was so evil.
Again just let me know if you would like the supplement list.
Seems like you have some kind of health problem. 🙁
Maybe you could stop using the pills or ask your doctor to prescribe you some new ones?
