Thank you eva' so much for taking the time to write out your lovely thoughts in the form of concern for a fellow humanbean fell on black days.
And I am going to give the walking meditation a total whirl. I remember starring at my feet going to and fro was really mind relaxing. I also have a guitar that works too. I really do have to keep in mind that these are cylic events and a wise and healthy person knows ups and downs all come and go....JJ thank you....((((

Nice way with words you have there, but then again I knew that...
And you are absolutely correct. I totally cheered myself up with that post. I often reach for a creative outlet when I am in super-freakout mode. Especially writing.
Unfortunately though it is not often enough that I do remember. Sometimes I just totally forget what I am supposed to do to fix myself because I am SO out of touch. And other times I know what I am suppose to do but it is virtually impossible because of the great feelings of incongruance. How can I possibly put nutrients in my body when I feel as though I am going to die?
Piece by piece...the way you've got to take it.
It is a great thing to remember too, while in the throes that it won't last forever. Thank you food4thought. You are a responsible party in the team that helped to keep my head above the inky waters. ((((Food4thought))))

The best way with least side effects as an antidepresant was marijuana
Tried and true it has been recorded as a medicinal plant for 5 millenia, without a single recorded death

mysteria,
There is walking meditation. If you have any back problems at all, a sitting meditation could easily cause nausea. The position isn't as important as the clearing of the mind of thoughts. Thoughts bring you to the ''me'' mind, and at that level all of your problems, worries, and fears flood in. That is where the probem lies. Clearing your mind is the objective, the position of your body is relevant only insofar as you must be free of the distractions of physical discomfort--even that is only semi-important.
I know you go through these things regularly. We all do, to one degree or another. Just keep in mind that all you need to do is ride it out.

MissyMysteria...
Perhaps writing about it helps. Your writing on this piece fairly sparkles in it's darkness and your ability to capture what's bothering you.

I aim toward meditaion but sorta loosely i do it with the mind that at least i'm trying and i do get off some quality sit time sometimes i notice it makes me nauseated, which i surely use as an excuse to avoid it cause it is a disipline and like we already know nothing is easy....thanks for the kind nicities.
I need to rest in super fashion. Meditation is a good way.

mysteria,
Have you ever tried any kind of meditation? There are lots of them around that are nothing but a big sales pitch in search of a buck, but some work very well.
As a general rule, avoid anything that is ''pop.'' That's the real crap. Look into Zen. I think you could find a temple in your area. You need to acheive the ''no mind'' state. If you saw The Last Samurai you might remember the ''no mine'' lesson that the Master taught with the sword. ''No mine'' was more likely ''no mind,'' but that doesn't matter. Both are the same. You need to acheive no mind.--not as a full-time state, but for a break and insight. You don't need to go to a temple, but without an understanding of Zen, you would have no idea what you were striving to attain.
Or not. The decision is yours; I only offer a suggestion.

anglofinspirtion ...its all i can do to take medicine
I go out side and i see all the happy people. People behaving the way nature intended. And then I see me and my saddness and just how truly sad I am...I cannot believe it. That I could be so so blue.
Thank you for your sweetness Angel. You help me out in more ways than you know.

Oh, mysteria...
Were there something that I could do to help, I would be there. I know of what you speak, it is a most uncomfortable place to be! I usually take enough Vicodin and Flexerall to put me out for awhile. I know that is not the right answer, but every once in awhile it is the only answer. People just don't know, do they?
