I already told you in your "thinking too much" thread that I've been depressed too in the past. I was diagnosed with severe clinical depression and a few other fancy syndromes too. I was suicidal and even spent a few weeks in a psychiatric clinic. It took me several years to pull myself out of the crap. So, yes, I do know how it is to suffer from a long-lasting depression. I know it's awful. AND I know you can get out of there like I did. If only you'd want to.

I've already noticed this pattern of yours. When you'd be forced to DO something concretely, you comfortably hide behind the "nobody understands me" excuse.

I don't do drugs. I eat every day. I drink lots of water.

When I talked about giving up all drugs and eating healthy I didn't mean drugs like heroine or cocaine. I was referring to my post in the "thinking too much" thread:

3. Go for a fast walk outside for two hours every day

I bet you do not do all this. Or do you want to tell me that you eat no dairy, no sugar, no refined flour and no caffeine? I bet you don't walk two hours a day either. And eating every day is very different from eating healthy every day.

But all these things don't scratch beyond the surface.

That's what I thought too, before trying it out. That's what many people think, because they don't know much about how connected the mental and the body are and how unhealthy they eat. I tried just everything to get better when I was depressed, and nothing worked. So I did lots and lots of research about depression and nutrition and health. I started stuffing myself with veggies from the wholefood shop and walking like crazy. And then suddenly it got better.

I'm not saying this is the ultimate solution for all depression problems. But you have to do one first step to get moving. This is one first step. It's a good one, it works.

Did you try it? No. In the "thinking too much" thread, seeker5 also gave you great advice about the proper mental attitude to overcome depression. Did you try that? No. Other people have been giving you great advice as well, for months now, have you tried any of it? Nope. So please don't pretend anymore that you want to get better!

Even the way you write Clinical Depression in capitals shows how attached you are to your beloved disease.

So here's another possible first step: Power of Now. Good luck!
