we all go through tough trying times myself included. but trying to help anyone without understanding the cause, can make things more difficult for the person you are trying to help. if anyone is feeling depressed i would tell you to go see your doctor. where a small course of antidepresents and somtimes councelling may help. depression is an illness that affects everyone at one time or another, if you have it please visit your doctor.
im not trying to stop you helping ppl as i said before, but you must be aware of what you say.

Namaste
You beat me to it. I am living proof, emphasis on "living", that a trip to the doctor is an important step when it comes to alleviating depression. I don't think I'd be here right now if I hadn't taken that important, if basic, step.

Some depression has a medical issue at its source. It's important to work with a doctor to double-check for any physical reasons for depression to be present. This can go hand-in-hand with any cognitive therapies and spiritual journeys that we can embark on at the same time. There are times when the best thing we can do is seek specific treatments aimed at body, mind, and spirit, especially since those three approaches are not mutually exclusive. We can safely use them all together.

My thoughts and prayers are with anyone who is battling depression. My footprints are all over that battleground, because I have been there. I can say that it's a battle worth engaging in, because it's possible to win it and the prize is getting our lives back. Please include a visit to your family doctor with any other steps you are taking in order to gain relief.
