Denise - depression can have many causes: mental (what you are thinking), emotional (too many blocked emotions) and physical (an inactive lifestyle). To work through your depression you need to work on all levels.

MENTAL - According to Richard Carlson, author of "You Can Be Happy No Matter What," most people think happiness is conditional and outside of themselves or expect that it is a fleeting feeling based on the events in their lives or their circumstances. They don't realize that their happiness is inside of them IN THE MOMENT.

According to Carlson, most people are unhappy because most of their thinking is negative. Negative thinking IN THE MOMENT leads to a negative feeling IN THE MOMENT which leads to a negative mood. Then the negative mood leads to a negative feeling in the moment which leads to more negative thinking in the moment. It becomes a viscous circle.

The reverse is also true. Positive thinking in the moment leads to positive feelings in the moment which leads to a positive mood.

The trick is not to try to feel better or think positively, the trick is to think positive thoughts and to FEEL GOOD. When I feel down, I don't try to change what I'm thinking/feeling, I just DELIBERATELY start thinking positive thoughts about things I like..

When you start to think or feel negative, STOP THINKING ABOUT WHATEVER YOU ARE THINKING and DELIBERATELY start thinking about things that make you happy. You have to make a deliberate effort. I just say things to myself like "I like the song Forever Young by Rod Stewart, I like chocolate chip cookies, I like the movie French Kiss" By changing my focus I immediately change my feelings and then my thoughts automatically go back to positive. You might want to make a "Happy" list and carry it with you for those times when negative thoughts/feelings get the best of you.

EMOTIONAL - Every day we all feel many different emotions. Emotions are just ENERGIES IN MOTION in our bodies. Emotions are meant to be FELT and RELEASED. In America, we are taught that emotions are weak and so most people ignore or downplay their emotions.

Every time you don't allow yourself or you aren't allowed to fully experience an emotion, to feel it, and to move through it, the energy of that emotion becomes stopped and blocked in your body. It remains blocked until you go back and re-experience that emotion. Then the energetic block is freed and cleared. Virtually all of our physical ailments come from energetic blocks in our bodies, energetic patterns that are connected to our emotional patterns

When emotions are blocked for a long time, your body shuts down emotionally and you get numb (depressed). You feel tired and have no interest in anything. The emotions that are blocked also tend to LEAK out (like in crying or wanting to sleep).

One good way to release blocked emotions is by using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Emotional Tapping. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release blocked emotions. EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue. One basic round of EFT takes about one minute to complete. EFT works quickly and painlessly.

Please download the FREE EFT Instructional manual from the EFT website (www.emofree.com).

There is another EFT website, Tapping.com, where you can get immediate help for your depression while learning EFT by just tapping along to one of their 14 FREE instructional videos (including Depression).

PHYSICAL - If you are a person who doesn't exercise on a regular basis, your body gets "Stale" and you feel tired and lethargic. Taking a brisk 15 minute walk every day will do wonders to improve your mood. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood elevators into the bloodstream, which makes you feel GOOD.

Finally, make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Our bodies are 70% water. Drinking water flushes the toxins (your body's waste products) out of our bodies. if you don't drink enough water toxins build up in your system and you FEEL tired and lethargic (depressed).

I suffered from bouts of depression since I was a child, but not any more (especially once I started using EFT).

Good luck

Find someone to talk to. You can't just pull yourself out of this yourself. Get the help you need, because you don't deserve to live like this.

Start with looking at your diet. What you eat or don't eat is going to have a huge effect on your moods.
Try the programs found in The Mood Cure

You can also do things to make yourself feel better. A list of activities to boost your endorphins is here:

it will get better if you work on it. everyone has the choice to give in to depression or not-you may not want it, but how you handle it is all up to you, if you want to feel better-work at making that happen-talk to a therapist make up a list of coping skills that you like (example: reading, riding a horse, walking dogs, etc.) just dont let yourself get caught up in it and let it swallow you and feel sorry for yourself, everyone goes through a stage of depression in their life, but some people get it worse than others-or just handle it differently

Take st. john's wort. it's over the counter and worked for me, but doesn't work for everyone. Its used for mild depression. Check with your local GNC store or order online. Listen to your favorite songs, start an exercise routine, talk to close friends. Good luck.

The fact it happens on a schedule, suggests artifact. Mob gas assault weapons can produce exactly what you describe. Hang a small ribbon outside, away from but not far from your bedroom window, visible during poor light conditions, where the slightest breeze will show accurate wind direction, not a swirl right next to the house or whatever. When these symptoms hit, see where the wind is coming from. If you are in an apartment, see which wall, ceiling, or floor, someone could be pumping it through. Don't discuss it with ANYONE while you are investigating the situation, or things will get very bad, sometime soon, from another direction! These people are extremely dangerous. If it's a houseful or apartmentful of suspect strangers, call the FBI from a pay phone, and tell them you don't want to be identified, but those people are terrorists. Semper Fi. Regards, Larry.
