ارے im kenzie 001704 its not my real name though so dont call me kenzie but i stuggle with depresion and dont want to go on medication any advice for a diferent solutuion?

Listen i suffer from depression as well and as much as آپ dont want the medication its the best thing to do trust me it may not seem like its helping but depression is something آپ will grow out of in time.

-Listen to cheerful music
-Do some exercise
-Visit your پسندیدہ place a lot
-Go for nature walks
-Do some volunteer work
If none of these work, then continue with your medication.

If your depression is severe, it might be necessary to try a medication just to balance out your state of mind. I, too, am speaking from experience.

Is there anyone آپ can talk to? That usually helps as well, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a counselor, therapist, etc.

As another پرستار wrote, try other activities. Esp. exercise--that has been shown to alleviate mild depression. Same w/volunteering.

Please don't feel you're alone with this.
