Try taking a couple spoonfuls of virgin coconut oil; it's like a happy pill. Saturated fat keeps my brain happy and on an even keel. You might also try some Omega 3 fish oil.

Forgive my copy pasta but this is a common but very important question that consistently pops up here and other RP subs....and as someone who has felt like you have (but as a man!) I want to help.

Here it is...

I have posted this website here many times...http://www.truehope.com.

I am not a sales agent or a shill for this company. I am a man who has felt they way you feel and I sympathize. I tried everything but the "meds" as well, but until my physical health improved my mental health never did.

The theory behind the supplements is that your mental health will never improve until your body starts functioning correctly. In the case of mental health your body needs to produce the right hormones and chemicals that keeps the physical part of your mental health in tip top shape and once it is depleted (due to depression or anxiety or exhaustion for example) it is sometimes harder to get back up to speed, for some people impossible...especially living in the modern world with depleted soil, depleted nutrient content in food, processed foods and with the toxins that are all around us, which inevitably enter into us...not to mention stress, anxiety, depression, etc caused by non-physical emotional events.

So with the Truehope, it is like a nutrient boost that kick starts the body into working properly. It is mostly composed of minerals with some vitamins and it gives the body what it needs so that it starts functioning properly.

You don't have to use this product (although I do recommend you try if you can afford it, as it is easy, ready to use and is not a pharmaceutical that could fuck you up for life) but the theory still applies to the nutrients and minerals...I think you could even read what the ingredients are on the label and make your own supplements. The only known side effects of these supplements are feeling nausea after ingesting them, due to the stomach not being used to the vitamins and minerals.

When I was feeling low (depression) I tried them and after 3 months I started feeling better. More energy, less negativity, better digestion, and clearer thinking. After 6 months I felt way way better...better than I had since I was 12 years old!

I started to realize that in the last 20 years of my life I had not been functioning properly. I didn't think straight...not as straight as I do now. I was impulsive and emotional and although I gave the appearance of being in control I was at the whim of my impulses and it took a great deal of energy to control myself, a fight I often lost. After taking these supplements for a year I finally felt like myself and I was able to tackle the emotional issues that had sent me into the depression.

There will still be mental issues to deal with but at least you will know that the physical part of your mental health is taken care of.

I think a huge amount of the population in North America are suffering from this type of nutrient deficiency contributing to the large numbers of people being medicated for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. I think this type of problem is pandemic amongst men and women and we need to start eating and living healthier with less chemicals and less processed food.

I agree with Aaron. I thought I had depression because things were so bad internally for me. My SO did not allow me to take it and made me face reality to deal with it on my own. I just don't believe as many people who say they have depression really do. The drug business is one of the biggest profit makers because they hand out drugs like candy. I changed many things to allow my brain to function without being a mess. Hows your diet? Just because you're a health cautious person doesn't mean your diet is in a good place to treat this. Start lifting and doing light yoga/cardio, take a good Multi vitamin and other vitamkns that are known to improve mood, drink plenty of water and avoid sugary drinks. Get more fat in your diet.

Hit the gym. Endorphins are good for your mood.

Aren't you old enough to make your own medical decisions? This has to be taken seriously, depression isn't something you mess around with. I sympathize, I've dealt with depression all my life, get help, eat right, exercise regularly and find activities you can at least tolerate to keep yourself busy and out of bed...I know, easier said than done but if you are serious about self improvement you must make this one a priority because it will leech out onto your SO and you don't want that.

Depression is a goofy made up disease that's an artifact of our modern western culture.

There isn't a good medical cure, either. You're best off (and many medical professionals will back me up) with lifting, sunshine, good diet (get some Omega-3s), and avoiding situations and behaviour that makes you sad. Cognitive behavioural therapy is very helpful, but be aware that's not "talking about my feelings with someone who cares", but instead it's "talking to a professional who will teach me how to ignore my bad feelings".

Antidepressants are mostly harmful.

there is absolutely NOTHING "RedPill" going on on this thread

the red pill REALITY is that no man should be attaching himself to a woman who has "mental illness" because quite simply, these "mental illnesses" involve total and complete self absorption, self indulgence and self involvement and really render a woman an unfit companion for a man. the only RED pill advice to a man who is not married to a woman like this and doesnt have kids with her would be for him to move on.
