I recommend the following ways to reduce
depression:
Do not read newspapers
Turn off your television
Say good things about others
take deep breathe
Get physical exercise

I Am Glad You Found Something. Posted: 11-18-07 21:13pm
I don't have a television, don't read
newspapers. I work 25 - 30 days a month.
My work days are 12 - 14 hours long.
I do watch DVDs on a portable player, just
to get to sleep. If I am left with my own
thought in silence, I would never sleep.
My mind requires distraction. Horror
flicks are like sweet fantasies compaired
to what I am feeling.
I say nice things about people. I treat
people with respect and dignity. I seem
to get nothing back from my investments.

I think video games are a good
distraction, or reading as well

I Wish I Could Do Those Diversions Posted: 11-19-07 01:57am
I have lost my ability to concentrate.
Patience is a rarity. I thought of
picking up a hooker. But, I also imagine
the experience to be ungratifying. Has
that really helped anyone? I know people
who do it all the time. They must get
something out of it. It just doesn't
sound appealing. I would have to know
more about it to try.

Some people will still be depressed no
matter how carefully they monitor their
behavior. How to reduce depression?
Therapy, meditation, reflecting on the
soul or some kind of spirituality, or the
obvious- MEDICATION! lol, I am an advocate
of medication.

Medication? Posted: 11-20-07 19:08pm
I started out on Paxil. It didn't work.
I went to 5mg Lexapro, worked a little
while. I went to 10mg Lexapro, worked for
a little while. Now I am to 20mg Lexapro,
and I feel like I am exhuasted and tired
of the whole world.
I have a good soul. God dosn't like good
souls. He blesses the evil ones with
everything. The good souls he curses to a
pre-hell, hell. There is no justice in
the world unless we create it. But no one
is interested. The ones who love injustice
have all the power. The ones who love
justice are powerless.
