yoga journal depression

I have been diagnosis with chronic severe depression. And realizing as of lately I have Autism - Asperger's Syndrome. Is there a treatment for this disorder? I take Prozac for the depression.

go for a walk, do yoga, do deep breathing, write in your journal, work on any kind of hobby that you enjoy... And if all you want is sleep, get as much of it as you can! Pregnancy takes so much out of our bodies, and it's important that we remember that so we don't beat ourselves up for being lazy or for not being able to get as much done as usual. We need the extra rest. Good luck and take it easy!

a therapist will help erase the depression by elimating what causes it

Start with your mind and body. Eat healthy, exercise, do yoga, cardio (however little). Eat 4-5 small meals a day. This will help your body. Read a lot. Journal your thoughts and feelings every morning. Put on paper the things that affected you the day before and write down how those things, in fact, affected you. Journal about your childhood and tell it to someone you trust. That is why it is better to have a counseler. Unresolved problems do no tgo away, they worsen.

My anxiety and depression has always gotten worse at night, but lately it's been really bad. I know that it's normal to be more in a depressive state at night but why is it so bad? I get weird thoughts and sometimes weird dreams, and i start crying out of no where or getting mad and upset . Sometimes It just gets out of control and I can catch it but it's hard to stop it all together.

I was just diagnosed today with Fibromyalgia. The doc sent my blood in and will know by Thursday if everything else is eliminated, but she said she's pretty sure it's Fibro and "severe depression". She prescribed Cymbalta, which I started taking today (30mg for a week, then 60mg for two weeks, then go back to see how its going). Problem: I'm a self proclaimed hypochondriac, so after taking my first Cymbalta, I'm sitting here waiting to have a seizure or something.

How does everyone deal with depression! I am very depressed and not sure what to do!

t much that could cause these moods either. Does anyone know if this is some kind of depression. When i am in these moods i seem to randomly dwell and deeply think about the things that i have done wrong and wishedi hadn't done them. Can someone help me?

walking, try everyday if you can, try yoga, meditation, classes on depression recovery, activities such as a craft or anything else you may enjoy to keep you occupied and looking forward to doing it. If you haven't gotten bloodwork for vit d, vit b and iron, you could be deficient in any of these. I was. If you are and start taking prescription supplements from your dr, you will notice a big difference in your mood and energy. Keep in ming all things take time. No quick fixes here.

Hey i have been suffering from Depression and im 5 months pregnant the doctors say it can get worse after the baby gets here ive been prescribed Sertraline but i don't know how it will affect the baby.. should i take the medication or is it too much of a risk?

I eat fruits take a walk but what really did it was prenatal yoga omg it relaxed me completely try it and ice cream :)

I have recently subscribed to www.anmolmehta.com . It is a website on yoga and meditation.It has free ebooks, videos, blog on yoga, meditation and very helpful articles on spirituality. He is frank and pragmatic.Just visit.

Also, zoloft is another anti depressant pregnant mommies take during and after pregnancy. Seeing as you have depression now your probably at high risk for post partum depression. I hope you can work through this. And get some help. Keep udated.

On another board there is a thread labeled Exercise Accountability. It is members post brief descriptions of there ongoing exercise activity. Posting to the thread helps keep me motivated. I've started this journal to provide my MedHelp friends a place to do the same. My journal is open to all who care to post. :-) http://www.medhelp.

are any of you already mommies struggling with postpartum depression? I'm 4 months postpartum and severely struggling... It's not so much "depression" it's more of the severe rage and anger spells I get towards my boyfriend (mostly in the morning.) I've seen my doctor about it and she prescribed me celexa but it makes my anxiety worse and to be honest, I hate antidepressants. If anyone is struggling, do you have any tips for me at all?

yoga postures, pranayam and meditaions will help you to come out of depression and anxiety. Kundalini yoga can help to increase your sexual urge.It willl be a long term treatment.It will help you in other areas of your life.

Like lil lady said it is growing baby to blame. But also the hormones at the end of pregnancy can increase anxiety especially if you are already prone to anxiety or depression. All these uncomfortable feelings also can bring on stress and anxiety. It's not truly an anxiety disorder but hormone and circumstance induced anxiety.

I've been battling major depression for almost a year, I'm not BP. My Dr has been upping my meds. I did ok on effexor xl 150mg and lamtical 100 for 2 weeks and then crashed really bad. So my dr upped my effexor to 225 mg and for 2 weeks felt normal for the first time in a year it was a relief. Then I had a international gift show to work, this was working 12 hour days for a week and then I started my period. Then I had to leave this job and go on a family vacation the very day.

I think it is really helpful to have an idea of things that CAN help with Anxiety naturally and depression too. Here are some ideas I've either read about or come up with on my own. Please add to them. So--- we learn how to cope often from our parents. If we have calm, stress free parents, we learn through watching them. If we have stressball parents, we learn that too. My son was born a stressed baby, colic from the get go. So, his anxiety just is and always was and NO!

Im sorry you lost your kids. That woukd make anyone sad. I lost a child to. I know depression comes with losing a child. If you dont know how or who to get help from get it out in a journal or here. Vebting helps.

Hi and welcome to the community. I had to go back and read your original post. It would be easier if you add to the same post each time, rather than starting a whole new one, then we don't have to keep switching back and forth to see what's gone before. But that's ok - you'll get the hang of things. Have you been to see your doctor to make sure that you don't have any medical issues that might sabotage weight loss, such as thyroid, pre-diabetes/insulin resistance, etc?
