How can u cure major depression without taking meds???

i have major depression and i found out about 3 months ago. I dont want to take meds for it and i really dont want to talk to a srink what should i do. I need to find out better ways to help cure me of this.

ok there is no cure, its going to be with you the rest of your life, sorry for the bad news. but the good news is you can deal with it yourself. i have major depression myself and i do not take meds, and only took meds for six days and they made me super sleepy so i said forget it. i was diagnosed back in nov of 2005 and i am doing just fine. what you have to do is sit down and pick your brain (thats what a psychologist will do anyways) find out why you are depressed, what causes the depression to come on (like for me when i get really tired i start letting things get to me), how do you feel about yourself?? just really think about it and get to know yourself. do you have low self esteem, do you hate your life, do you regret things in life, etc. once you have actually gotten to the root of your depression, the cause of it, then you can start to fix it. and also dont hide it, tell family, freinds, coworkers, etc about it, the more you talk about it the more comfortable you will be with it and learn to live with it. have fun with it too, make jokes about it and one last thing, learn about it. if you ever need to talk, or want more of my story, just email me, i am here for you and will help you through where it wont control your life. good luck!!!
