Feeling hopeless and depressed

[Butterfly88]

I don't know if you have heard of singing bowl therapy. Do some research on the singing bowl and see if anyone offers this service in your area. This is one of the best alternative therapy for depression, anxiety, and stress.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I do have mental illness. There are three main classes of antidepressants and they all gave me pretty serious side effects when I tried them. So I’m on a mood stabilizer instead because it’s better than nothing.

Hope you are feeling better @Butterfly88

I've taken one antidepressant that gave me quite bad side effects as well. I was on another one which gave me some side effects but overall it helped me a lot in the end.

Look after yourself. xx

Have you used any alternative healing methods? What kind of alternative healing methods have you used to curb depression. By the way, faith heling also works for depression.

Thank you @lavalamp, I'm hanging in.
@Nomad I meditate sometimes but otherwise haven't tried alternative healing.

Meditation is very helpful in stress, anxiety, and depression. My father was able to cure clinical depression through meditation.

I think feeling hopelessness happens when we don't have been thinking from the different point of view. And that can be something we have to avoid doing. And we have to think of our own life first and if we can learn to do that then solving those problems become lot easier as well. I know it's a bit difficult and does not happen overnight.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks!
