Depression

@dahliagyll I guess you know Doktor Vogel. He was in Switzerland and was well known in Sweden. I was listening to him when he had a talk in Stockholm, Sweden. He invented many great juices that are available in many European countries and he used lactic acid bacteria so they could last a long time. They must be available in health stores in Austria and Germany. You can find Neolife - just go to Gnld.com and find the site in German - they have info about Acidophilus Plus - maybe you have a distributor near you. You can also ask in pharmacies and ordinary food stores. We have the good bacteria here in fruit drinks at least in two stores - they are called Proviva. You can ask for products with "Milchsäurebakterien" = Lactic Acid Bacteria in English. Also good yogurts often have these bacteria.

Hello! thanks a lot for your advice! I have actually never thought of it! wow do you know of any brand that is sold in Austria or Germany? do you buy them in pharmacies? and what is the name of this bacteria? how many times a day should you drink it and for how long? I am trying everything to see if I can get better, at least a bit, thanks a lot for your help I reaaaally apprecciate it!

@buenavida thanks a lot i will look it up now and see what i kind find here :)

thanks a lot for your advice. I watch way too much tv though, that is why when I am having a panic attack I try not to, because it makes me even worse, but when I am just sad it is actually good watching something funny.

@dahliagyll One has to try different things and see what works as we are all different. Have you tried medications?

@1hopefulman yes i take medication and also go to therapy, I exercise 3 times a week or more and i even tried with basch flowers hehe,

@dahliagyll That's one thing great about our loving Creator: He created us with free will. We're not robots, we can make choices. I hope your choices work well for you. As for my cat; thank you for noticing. She is one of my many beauties. She is a real sweet heart. That's another wonderful thing about our Creator: His beautiful creation.

thanks so much for your kind reply. I am agnostic, but I have been raised as a christian, nevertheless I never really found much comfort on jesus or the Bible, but I do take some advices from Budism though. I think it is a good idea to read something that gives you some spiritual hope, something that goes beyond our small understanding of life and the world. thanks again, and I love your profile picture with the cat.

thanks a lot for your advice, yes people help a lot sometimes, but I cannot always be around people I am most of the times alone unfortunately

@dahliagyll By all means make sure U get out!!! Loneliness begets more loneliness and more isolation and U don't want 2 see yourself mentally going down even further!

@db20747 you are totally right, yes, I am tryong to meet more people but it is kind of hard when you are not feeling so ok,

@dahliagyll you are welcome!

thanks a lot Anaya for your reply. You are right, I guess for mothers , may be a way to cope, to know they have to be strong for their kids. I sometimes feel better when I read or learn about something like you, but at the moment when I am experiencing the panic attack or the deep sadness is very hard to concentrate or even to be able to take a book or something. Thanks a lot for your advice again!

I feel you. I do not hav PTSD but I feel so identified with what you described. When i am alone I also feel like if i was alone in this world, with nothing but my dark feelings and thoughts and I wish it could just end, that my mind left me alone. I have been to clinics, to doctors, take medication, do exercise regularly, and all that may actually help so that i dont feel even worse, but it does not cure it. I feel really lonely in my life, even sometimes when im with people or my friends I get these feelings and it is so hard to go on interacting and being normal. I feel like life is just too hard, it is like a game i never wanted to play and I am doing horrible at it.For the rest of people it may look like I am just fine and doing what I am supposed to do, like working sometimes (although i quit my jobs regularly due to this)buy mp pme can actually feel what I feel. Life seems way easier for people who do not have mental illness, I know i should be grateful that i have help and a house and food , i do know that i am priviled in a lot of ways, and i complain a lot but this is how it is. thanks for your words and i really wish you can start feeling better, as i see you are easy with words, maybe writing would be good for you , if you like it, for me it is sometimes. I like to write sometimes., and yes I need to find some hobby, have a nice day

@dahliagyll writing also helps me a little

thanks a lot! yes, that would be great! I need to have some friends I am feeling quite lonely here

yes, maybe by accepting them and living them it can actually gets better,I have heard that meditation helps, at the time I am experiencing less anxiety and also taking medication, I have found that helps a bit writing down why is worth living when you are feeling ok and then remember to read it once you are feeling bad...
