Depression

Last week I was told by my Dr that I have Depression. He prescibed me 7days worth of anti-depressants. I have taken them and due back at the Drs tomorrow. I admit that I started feeling better and happier once I started taking the pills. But I believe the mind is a powerful tool and because I believed the pills were making me 'feel happier', I was starting to feel happier on my own.

I am not going to continue taking the medication, I am planning on beating this naturally. Some excercise, gardening and craft as outlets for my negative frusteration, talking about how Im feeling instead of bottling it up and keeping a diary on the positives in my day instead of dwelling on the negatives. I already eat pretty well and hardly drink alcohol so I dont need many adjustments there. But one major change I would like to make is the time I spend with my girls, making it fun and not yell so much.

I will keep you up to date with how I go.
