My mom is dealing with depression right now. She's been bedridden for the last 3 months. She's lost 60 pounds during that time. I relocated from California to help her and my little brothers. I had no idea how hard this was going to be. It's been really difficult seeing my mom not happy like she usually is. Anti-depressants haven't been helping. I'm looking at alternative ways to help her mood.
Im guessing she doesnt go out in the sun at all? She should start taking some vitamin D. It triggers a response in the brain to release serotonin and dopamine

You can synthasize anything on nature and get a cure..unfortunately big pharmaceutical industries have a monopoly on prescriptions and would rather get you more sick or just get by..look at when Zoloft came out years ago people where getting diabetes till the reformulated it..the best way is gluten free no GMOs free range meat , and all organic..tests have been proven to work miracles

Yes, of course they can. I don't like to think those mental illnesses can be cured with pills, though. I would assume they work, but... wouldn't it just create a dependence on them? It's like how people get drunk at a club for the sole reason of being able to talk to girls, aka "Liquor Confidence".

I come across so many people with Social Anxiety issues, and the common trait that I see time and again is that they're too in their head. Their mind is running at 100 km/h, thinking about how people hate them for their flaws... when the reality, nobody even cares. And the people who do like to clown you for your flaws are guilty themselves. Everybody's too worried about themselves to give a damn.

Can it really be that simple bro? She's prescribed Oyster Shell Calcium with Vitamin D but I'm having trouble making her take her meds to be honest tho, I just gotta try harder and be more patient/understanding.

Be careful with those pills. There very addicting but I'm sure you already know that :smile:.

Yeah I know for sure man. I'm kind of glad though because right now I don't have any of the feel good feelings and I also don't have the appetite/sleeping thing so I can't really notice.

I just got out of the hospital, everytime I catch the stomach bug or flue, crippling anxiety sets in (uncontrollable shaking, restless leg syndrome, heart palpitations, insomnia, racing thoughts). It lasts about 4-6 months with medication.

Im currently on 20mg celexia and 50mg hydroxine.

I am so happy that i got out of benzodiazepines withdrawal.

All my life I was strong and healthy, after my illness last march my health went down hill.

I think if i start eating healthy, get the flu shot every year, sleep at night, get vitamin supplements and exercise, i can cure this.


I used to think pple were born with a defect to suffer like this but it can happen to any of us.

Im not saying thats gonna be a fix all, but its worth a try, and I can almost guarantee she's deficient, most people are. Those who are, benefit from supplementing or gettign out in the sun if there is any. A lot of people get Seasonal Affective Disorder in the winter because of lack of sunlight/vitamin d. And if I found the right Oyster Shell Calcium + Vitamin D on CVS website, it has 125iu Vitamin D. That's nothing, milk has 3 times that amount and it would still take 20-40 glasses of milk to get the adequate dosage. The average adult needs an intake of 5,000iu a day to keep at sufficient levels, some more depending on how low their 25-hydroxy D levels are. 10-15 minutes in the sun during the summer time, depending on skin color, would give you 10,000iu. I think its worth a shot to find a vitamin d supplement with 5,000iu per gel. :manny:

A healthy diet and adequate sleep plus multivitamin and exercise is a good idea. A flu shot is debatable. I used to get sick with the flu and strep every winter until I turned 18 and stopped getting flu shots, started taking zinc and vitamin D. Havent been sick in 3 years. zinc and vitamin d will raise your immune system. The people I know that get sick all the time are the ones who are always getting flu shots.

I've really been feeling like killing myself today.
I lost my meds almost two weeks ago and they were the only thing keeping me intact.

All these fukking a$$holes on here will finally get their wish...Although I wish I could kill their bytch asses.

I'm 30 years old and just a fukking failure.
Never had a relationship that lasted more than three months.
Never had a job that lasted more than four.
Never made more than $5,000 on my own in a year.
Thought this last job would be awesome but low and behold I quit and it didn't even last a week.
Deep down inside I know all of these coli a$$holes use me as leverage to feel better about their lives and would laugh if they knew how I was really living.
I've tried committing suicide before and failed cause I knew my family would never get over it.

But honestly, being black, african, West Indian, male in this hellish country I'll feel like I'll never be happy.

I can't relate to many people here...I'm just alone all the time and frankly it's becoming a burden on itself.

I give up on life, people, and this nightmarish society.
Frankly if anybody can suggest the most painless method of killing myself I'll rep you.

I refuse to do that. Absolutely not. So other fukking people on here can laugh at me for living with my family at 30? While they laugh at me for failing to succeed on my own at 30? fukk that. Besides, after going back home for a couple of months I've already decided I'm never going back there period. pittsburgh? I absolutely hate that fukking racist ass city. being black there is like being crippled and not being able to do anything with my life..Too many generations of family under one roof...my older sister is a huge fukking failure (graduated from college in 2004...hasn't had a job since 2007...has been living at home for a decade). Why should I surround myself by more failure? I refuse to be a fuking failure and let that be all that becomes of my life!

fukk living there and honestly...no offense fukk your advice don't fukking tell me how to live my life.
