A few things that have helped me:

Rapid Recovery From Depression Using Magnesium Treatment

Most people who experience mental health problems are deficient in magnesium as you can read on the above website. I would highly recommend you start taking magnesium supplements daily and see if they help. Much cheaper than psychiatric drugs!

If you crave chocolate that's a sign that for sure you're magnesium deficient because chocolate contains a decent amount of magnesium.

Another supplement I would recommend is Kava. There's also a Kava tea which really relaxes me if I feel anxious about anything. Not sure how much to take but don't take it daily for the rest of your life since it can cause liver problems (but so does Tylenol).

To help you become an observer of your thoughts rather than a believer of them you can try doing The Work. Byron Katie was a women so depressed she didn't get out of bed for a year - then one day she had an awakening. She now teaches people how to question their thoughts in a way that will bring them inner peace. You can read more about The Work here:

The Work of Byron Katie

Good luck to you! I sincerely hope this helps you.
