My boss was very upset with me. My coworkers were not good. They always say against me to My Boss. For that he always upset with me, after all he is a good human being. Slowly he knows me and happy with me. In that time I could not sleep and I totally depended on Antidepressants because the Depression symptoms were just killing me. The common signs and symptoms of depression that many people know are fatigue, mood swings or a feeling of emptiness and insomnia. Hi Friends,

Great tips for mild depression - I didn't know why gardening felt good and now I do! Singing is a great idea - even just toning or chanting some high octaves helps me to feel better. Giving a massage is an interesting one too - what about stroking your pet - that always makes me feel better. For me, when I feel mildly depressed (which is a feeling of being down, slightly sad, and lethargic for me, but when I worked in the mental health field there were tests you could take to see what level of depression you have - a doctor can help with this) I find it helpful to journal about my feelings. Sometimes depression is repressed anger or old wounds coming to the surface that need to be acknowledged, felt and released. If I'm also feeling a bit anxious (which is another symptom of depression for some people) I will sometimes take a herbal remedy like St John's Wort or other herbs that help to increase serotonin. .-= Gini Grey´s last blog post..<a href="http://theadventurouswriter.com/quipstipsspiritualseekers/easy-meditation-%E2%80%93-3-quick-meditation-techniques-for-a-busy-life/" rel="nofollow">Easy Meditation – 3 Quick Meditation Techniques for a Busy Life</a> =-.

I've suffered with depression since I was 14 years old, and am slowing weaning myself off antidepressants. Thanks for these suggestions for women, they sound fun. Now I just need to get enough energy to go singing which is harder than you think. Shelly Interesting — I didn’t know JK Rowling was depressed at one time in her life.
