My first big depression was when I was 16, but my dad said he saw signs when I was around 7 or 8. 16 was the first time I tried to hurt myself to make it go away. Lots of years of therapy, some horrible and some very good, several hospitalizations, several different medications, and yes, an undying certainty that G-d could and would help.<br /><br />One doctor said the four most important things to my emotional health were sleep, exercise, avoiding stress, and a strong faith/faith community. I'd add medication and therapy now, too, but I think he was right on.<br /><br />I'm glad you are coping so well with yours. that gives me hope. :)Rivkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539605518386641789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586054179302638863.post-48927303469567952462007-01-29T12:29:00.000-05:002007-01-29T12:29:00.000-05:00It gets better, I can tell you. I have been deali...It gets better, I can tell you. I have been dealing with depression since before I even knew that that was the word. (age 6! OY!) But I am now 27, and with the help of Gd, therapy, meds, Torah, exercise, and myself, I am here, present, and only occasionally really really bad. I promise you, if you do the work required to get and stay healthy, it will work, IY"H.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586054179302638863.post-15508370006782942482007-01-29T12:24:00.000-05:002007-01-29T12:24:00.000-05:00Are Jews allowed to have epiphanies? ;)
I'm all o...Are Jews allowed to have epiphanies? ;)<br /><br />I'm all over the place today. Yesterday I thought maybe I was on to something here. Today it seems like I was just rambling. I have to remember not to push myself too hard. Too much therapy isn't good for anyone.Rivkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539605518386641789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7586054179302638863.post-7835390003191177432007-01-28T22:30:00.000-05:002007-01-28T22:30:00.000-05:00wow.
